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.
