Tribal Gaming History · Menominee Nation · Indigenous Territory
The Menominee Casino Resort operates on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Keshena, Wisconsin — tribally owned and operated by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. The resort includes 103 hotel rooms and suites, an indoor pool with outdoor cabana, fitness room, gift shop, and a 13,000-square-foot convention center.
The casino operates 24 hours daily and represents a major element of the Menominee Nation's economic development strategy. The reservation itself encompasses approximately 235,000 acres of forest in northeast Wisconsin — one of the most intact tribal land bases remaining in the Great Lakes region.
The Menominee have occupied their ancestral territory continuously for millennia, making this corner of Wisconsin one of the longest continuously inhabited Indigenous homelands in the region. The casino and resort opened as part of the broader tribal gaming era that followed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988.
Sources
The account circulated by resort staff describes a surveillance incident in which a security guard monitoring camera feeds observed three children running through a restricted area of the hotel. The children appeared to be playing — circling, chasing, running around the guard himself when he arrived at the location.
The guard could not see them. The cameras could. The children continued to appear on the monitors with the security officer standing in the same corridor, apparently unaware of his presence.
The incident was not independently investigated. No other details — dates, specific location within the hotel, identity of the security officer — have been confirmed in publicly available accounts. The report has the quality of staff oral tradition rather than documented record, though it has been repeated consistently enough across regional paranormal sources to have established the resort's reputation.
A separate report describes an aggressive entity in the casino's bingo hall that reportedly attacked cleaning staff, and a female apparition has been mentioned in accounts of the property.
Notable Entities
The 103-room resort hotel includes an indoor pool, fitness facilities, and a convention center on the Menominee Nation reservation. The restricted-area corridor where security cameras reportedly captured three children playing — visible on monitors but invisible to on-site security personnel — is not publicly accessible.

Kewaunee, WI
The Hotel Karsten opened on Valentine's Day 1913 in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, replacing an earlier wood inn called The Steamboat House that burned in the early 1910s. Built and operated by William Karsten Sr., the 52-room Arts and Crafts hotel sits on the Lake Michigan shoreline and remains one of the few surviving hotels of its period in the region.
Bisbee, AZ
The Oliver House was built in 1909 by Edith Ann Oliver and her husband Henry Oliver to house executives of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company. The building was converted to a bed and breakfast in 1986 and operates today as a historic inn in Bisbee, Arizona.
Galveston, TX
Grand Galvez, originally Hotel Galvez, opened in 1911 as part of Galveston's recovery from the catastrophic 1900 hurricane. The Spanish Colonial Revival landmark on Seawall Boulevard is the only historic beachfront hotel on the Texas Gulf Coast and now operates as part of Marriott's Autograph Collection.
