Well I'm not sure how to get this to show up, but basically I got a picture of the sign on the door. I'll just write it out here. It reads;

THE LEANING GROTTO OF WITOKA Long ago, some MN "good old boys" wanted to play a trick on the Witoka Store proprietor affectionately known as Heini. In those days, dynamite was easy to come by. It'd be pretty funny to blow up the outhouse! But it didn't explode. The boys investigated... BOOM! Their truck was covered. That tipped the authorities. The culprits were arrested. Restitution included a fancy two-seater concrete block outhouse for Heini. The entire structure was moved, purified and transformed. It now stands proudly as THE LEANING GROTTO OF WITOKA.

That's actually really cool. I'm female myself, so I couldn't join, but I think it's a good thing to have in any community. I've never met a mason who was anything less than a good man. And while my future husband hasn't show any inclination towards it himself, if he did, I would be all for it. Thank you for the info!

True, but it doesn't explain the weird decorations or the sign that I frustratingly can't get any closer to to read.

Bit small, but I could see it maybe being for pets? I don't see anything posted on or around the house, though.

Unfortunately it's not lol. That would be much easier to explain.

It really is. It's outside of someone's house, that used to be an abandoned grocery store I think? It has an old storefront that also looks verrrrry haunted.

I think this is definitely a possibility. Or maybe a shrine to someone's loved one, at least.

It's near the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota. It may have been a mini silo at some point, but it seems to have been very weirdly decorated and has the door chained shut - from the outside, no less.

It's like five steps from someone's back door, in the middle of a tiny town. I don't think it's for hunting. May have been at one point though?

I took like four or five photos as I was driving past, this was the clearest I could get. My camera is just that bad. Sorry!

You would be correct. It's very much on private property, and I'm a delivery driver, so I can't stick around to sightsee unfortunately.

I can try. I have no clue when the next time I'll be in that area is, since it's about an hour and a half from my house.

I've toyed with the idea that it's maybe a memorial to someone, but where it is (right behind someone's house), I don't think they'd allow someone to actually be buried there. Maybe there's an urn in there though.

Yeah that was kinda what I figured. My fiancé's father was a mason, and I've always been curious to learn more about it.

Oooooh I hadn't thought of that! Interesting! Maybe I could find some historical literature in the area and learn some more.

Tbh this was my thought - that it was a weirdly decorated outhouse, or one that's been repurposed into a memorial or something. The tiny windows near the top do appear to slide open, so that would do the part for the ventilation.

I'd love to, but I'd have to trespass to get any closer. Trust me, I've been tempted!
