Doveland, WI is a small town that supposedly existed prior to 1990, but is no longer there. Internet conspiracy theorists point to a news story from the Post-Crescent in Appleton, WI, which suggests that more than 1,000 Wisconsinites may be the inhabitants of the vanished town. However, the article simply describes the entirety of Wisconsin’s missing persons database, consisting of individuals from all over the state who vanished over the course of many years.

The bottom line: These two articles are almost certainly errors on Google’s part and should not be considered connected to the Doveland mystery. This also means that pinning 2015 as the year discussion of Doveland first appeared online is incorrect.They went into the post office, a bar in which music was still playing, and various other businesses, looking for someone - anyone - to give them directions. Eventually, an old man “just seemed to appear out of nowhere in the middle of town walking alone.” As they ran up to him and asked where everyone was, he replied, “I guess folks round here don't get up much till round noon.” Outside of memories and stories from relatives there are also ephemera such as mugs and shirts bearing Doveland's name. [1] It’s something of a creepy Mandela effect, but this is how the story goes: Supposedly, there was a town in Wisconsin – located in the “heart of the state” – called Doveland and at one point in the ’90s, it simply… disappeared. But the strange thing is, there are no historical documents that prove the existence of Doveland. And don’t bother looking for any maps proving Doveland’s location, either; you won’t find it there. Here’s what’s real: Project Sanguine. Project ELF, too. In fact, Project Sanguine is perhaps best thought of as the blue sky version of Project ELF — the Platonic ideal version, the version that arose from brainstorming without the need to consider limitations. Both were U.S. Navy projects intended to facilitate communication with deep-sea submarines — although one never quite got off the ground, and the other has since been declared obsolete.

I just learned of all the noise surrounding Doveland, and I think I can add some insight. Doveland was a small town in Wisconsin that housed a lot of military families. My father lived there for a year or two and spoke of it occasionally. The main thing I remember is that it had to do with "Project Sanguine" in the early 60's. I don't think it was X-Files type stuff, but the town was destroyed after an incident. I thought they were digging up a ton of land for something and they flooded the town or something, but this is a rehashed secondhand memory from years ago."

But if you look in the right places, you’ll find them — the folks who are asking the questions, and looking for the answers: Nobody today remembers Doveland. There is allegedly tourist memorabilia from the town that still exists – t-shirts, mugs, postcards, etc. – but the town is gone. It was also removed from maps and razed by the powers-that-be, either to cover up what happened, or out of fear that it might happen again.
