A recent issue of Reader's Digest magazine had a short note with what they called spooky names of real U.S. cities and communities. The source was funnycities.com RD research.
Here is their list:
Devil's Lake, ND
Eek, AK
Slaughterville, OK
Hell, MI
Frankenstein, MO
Skullbone, TN
Witch Lake, MI
In Wisconsin, there is a lake named Devil's Lake, no community that I know of.
I ran a quickie search of Wisconsin city names and didn't find any that could match the above list, but it didn't include the smaller places.
If you have any "spooky" city or community names in your state, please post them. One name per post, please, and please stick with the spooky stuff. Intercourse, PA, will be a different post entirely.
If you live in one of these places, I'd like to hear that, too.
Ready! Set! Go!

I also found WisconSIN a bit spooky if you think about it and pair it with Devil's Lake and Black Earth.
I wish I had some to add to your list. What amused me most in Pennsylvania was not the Intercourse. It was Venus and Mars... LOL
They have Devils Hole a walking trail down the side of a ridge,by the niagara river..In Ny. It spirals down and made of stones walkway steps...Walking down is okay it's getting back up that hill is the hard part..!!!
