Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black River Falls, Green Bay, Gresham, Iola, New London, Plover, Manitowish Waters...and Madison, where Craig Nehring of the Fox Valley Ghost Hunters experienced a very real debate over the question: Fate or Destiny These are a few of the interesting places that we explore in this, our second Wisconsin's Most Haunted book. Haunted places that you may never heard of, but yet rival those better known locations that we related in our first book such as Summerwind Mansion near Land O'Lakes, First Ward School in Wisconsin Rapids, Von Stiehl's Winery in Algoma and The Grand Opera House in Oshkosh. Most of the spirits are gentle and benevolent souls, but an occasional encounter with a malevolent spirit can be expected as well...like the growling shadow man with deformed legs who frightened the family in their bedrooms at night, claiming "It's my house." What about our canine and feline friends? Can they return to their homes, revealing themselves to their former owners? Evidence is presented that this may, indeed, be possible. So, what do you think? Are you a skeptic or a supporter of reported paranormal activities? No matter; you will still find the stories contained herein to be fascinating accounts--perhaps encounters from a existence beyond our knowledge and experience.

Book excerpt: The true story of the Lamont Mansion, which was meant to host a president—but instead become a home to the paranormal . . . includes photos! Buried deep in the Wisconsin Northwoods, the ruined splendor of the mansion known as Summerwind bares the bones of its legendary past. Robert Patterson Lamont purchased the property in 1916 as a country retreat where he could entertain such guests as President Warren G. Harding. Unfortunately, the house played host to visitors of an entirely different sort, and Lamont reportedly fled the property after discharging a pistol at a ghoul in the basement pantry. Raymond Bober abandoned his attempt to convert the house into a hotel in the 1970s, describing rooms that changed size and the mysterious presence of an eighteenth-century explorer in his famous book The Carver Effect. Join Devon Bell for a glimpse through the shattered windows of the most specter-laden spot in the Badger State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, ghosts have been known to inhabit some of Baraboo's most prized historic locations. Buildings and mansions built by the Ringling brothers at the height of their circus empire now harbor apparitions of unidentified children, horse trainers and other circus workers. Residents throughout the Downtown Baraboo Historic District describe disembodied voices, footsteps and items moving on their own. Even historic homes, new homes and roadways have ghosts--a family awakened to find their dining room table set for a party of ten, a little girl realized that her "friend" wasn't getting any older and a Highway 12 hitchhiker materialized despite the highway being rerouted. Founder of Baraboo Tours Shelley Mordini and tour guide Gwen Herrewig share tales of Baraboo's more mysterious side.
