Do you know about Doveland, Wisconsin? It’s a town — well, no. That’s not quite correct. It was a town. A small one, more rural than suburban, although no one is really sure where within the state of Wisconsin it was located. No maps of it have ever been unearthed; indeed, it seems to have been scrubbed from the historical record. Doveland, you see, allegedly disappeared sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s — but no one is really sure when it happened, or where the town went. Not Doveland. Outside of memories and stories from relatives there are also ephemera such as mugs and shirts bearing Doveland's name. [1]

Many theories have been put forward to explain the disappearance of Doveland, but none have been proven. Some say that the town was swallowed up by a sinkhole or was the victim of a massive earthquake. Others believe that the town was cursed by a vengeful spirit, who caused the town and its people to disappear as punishment for some long-forgotten transgression.

Of course, there’s a problem with that idea: Project Sanguine never progressed to the construction stage. It was killed off before anything even remotely close to breaking ground happened; there was no digging, and therefore there is no way the town could have been flooded by the act of digging. And Project ELF wasn’t underground at all, so the story doesn’t line up with the facts there, either.

Firmly nestled in the quiet midwest of America, Wisconsin features plenty of charming small towns with picturesque families living the American dream. These communities are usually tight-knit and perhaps a bit isolated, making them especially vulnerable to even the smallest of changes. With that in mind, it’s not hard to imagine such a small town dying out for any number of reasons. The Tumblr post, you’ll recall, notes that “ searching for ‘Doveland, Wisconsin’ on Google only yields some old threads on /x/ where they’re just as confused as I am, but more mysteriously, two articles on missing people in Wisconsin.” As a reminder, both of those articles are from the Post Crescent; one of them is the 2015 article cited by Obscurban Legend. (For the curious, the other is dated 2017.) The confusion of the Tumblr post implies that the original poster also found there to be no mention of Doveland in those articles — that is, the writer seems unsure why Google included them in the search results, given that one of the key search terms is nowhere within them. So, what happened? Was Doveland destroyed by a dam? Did it fall into another dimension, possibly as a result of the uncompleted government project code-named Sanguine? Or was it always just an online hoax? Doveland does not apparently appear on any map of Wisconsin (National Highways Association / Public Domain )Doveland, Wisconsinwas supposedly a small town which somehow disappeared in the 1990's. Some people in Wisconsin allegedly have shirts, mugs, souvenirs, etc. from the town, and some even remember it or had relatives who lived there. The story goes on to suggest that the town simply faded away in the early 1930s. Those who tried to visit found themselves passing through buildings “as easily as a potato passes through the smoke of a campfire,” and by 1932, the town was completely gone.
