| Walking Day Tours of Historical Burlington Tours usually run approximately 4 hours. Burlington Wisconsin is a Ghost Hunter, Orb Photographer , Ley Hunter, Historian and Ancient Mysteries Researcher's Dream . It lies on a 'Rainbow Vortex' and Home of the Ancient Mound Builders. Just like in the movie 'Poltegeist', they built the town and never moved the bodies. As far as we can determinine the downtown area of Burlington Wisconsin was built over twenty seven ancient burial mounds. Local newspapers have reported unearthing the remains of human bones while digging foundations for several buildings in the historical downtown area...including the Burlington Research Center here at 549 N. Pine Street. Human bones were also found on the old fair grounds where the Burlington Blanket Co originated and is located near Tower Hill on Storle Ave, the northeast side of the Fox River. (now the old Burlington Mill) MORMON VOREE BRASS PLATES Outside of town, is Voree. The congregations of the Morman Church speak of Voree as 'The Ppromised Land' or 'The New Jerusalem'. It was in Voree that the Prophet James Strang discovered the famous Mormon Brass Plates in a hillshide beneath the roots of a giant oak tree. THE OCCULT While Burlington promotes itself as Chocolate City, USA, people 'in the know' are allured to the town because of its occult and ancient mysteries Have you noticed that when you are in the historical district of Burlington, the roads don't run in a grid pattern but are angled? The historical district was designed in the form of a pentagram, similar to Washington D.C. See Burlington Wisconsin Mysteries 2 While taking the walking tour of Burlington, Mary Sutherland points out the occult symbols displayed in the architecture of it's buildings and explains the history and meanings behind them. . The founding fathers were quite aware of the meanings behind these symbols and the magic they hold over the land and its residents. Burlington's White River is once known as 'The River of the Dead'. Its name was coined due the Mormon practice of baptism through proxy at this river. The Mormons favored this river above all rivers, being that the river runs 'North'. (all rivers run south except those that are controlled by the gravitation pull of a large vortex). In the area where the baptisms took place lies a hidden 'serpent mound' . Its location was only known to a small handful of residents in Burlington , one of which is Burlington Research Center. THE TUNNEL ENTRANCES Not only are there ongoing reports of ghostly phenomenon and opening of portals or gateways to dimensional worlds being reported by residents of Burlington, but an ancient tunnel system runs under the town. Most of the entrances to these tunnels have been sealed off but we are hoping someday to find other entrances open for us to explore and document. The tunnels are easy to trace if you consider that the older citizens of the community (1800's) knew about the tunnels and utilized them. The more prosperous families built their homes and business over the tunnels. They have been used for purposes such as: the purpose of hiding runaway slaves, distributing bootlegged liquor, hiding valuables, storage, traveling during the winter months when the weather was cold and the snow was deep, etc. During the Prohibition Days the 'speak easies' operated in buildings built over the tunnels, giving their business easy accessibility for the delivery of contraband . These tunnel speak easies were ideal for Capone and his men to use if the need arose for a quick and successful escape. One of our favorite spots to stop and grab a bite to eat is the remnant of an old Speak Easy that is now called Coaches Sports Bar and Grill. This along with the Burlington Research Center are the only two places in town that are open for public viewing of the underground tunnel entrances. While Coaches can show the sealed entrances, the Burlington Research Center provides a partial opening that you can actually step inside and get an idea how they were constructed. Sorry folks..the tunnel is sealed at each end, so we can't go exploring into the lower recesses. Both places are quite haunted and manifestations of ghostly apparitions are frequent and common - so bring your cameras! |
