Dead Wood
Dead Wood is a natural place at Clear Lake, South Dakota that appears in the American newspaper record as a reportedly haunted place. The listing rests on a single 1889 column; the building's own history, address and survival are not yet confirmed.
What awaits
Legend. The Herald recounted an older story in 1889 that Dead Wood at Clear Lake was said to be haunted. The Haunted Guide records the newspaper’s account, not the haunting: nothing in it was ever established as fact.
Sources: The Herald, 1889-02-22, p. 6.
