Review
"Haunted Wisconsin is a fascinating guide to ghosts around the corner, and under your bed." -- Jay Rath, columnist for Isthmus and author of The W-Files

"I have explored the mysteries of Wisconsin for many years and I can truly believe in Haunted Wisconsin." -- Robert E. Gard, folklorist --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
Grab a warm blanket to cuddle up in, turn out the lights and enjoy these unnerving tales of terror. Featuring more than 70 true tales throughout Wisconsin, this is a newly revised and expanded edition of an all-time favorite collection of stories. Containing an assortment of ghosts, apparitions and other supernatural occurrences, Wisconsin could easily be called the most haunted state in America.

Energetically retold from countless personal interviews, newspapers, archives, and other sources, these classic ghost stories still retain their original power to unsettle and surprise. The stories range from historical tales embedded in 19th century superstition to contemporary accounts of strange occurrences in modern-day homes. Most of the stories remain unexplained. Haunted Wisconsin is one chilling anthology no fan of the genre will want to be without. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will utterly fascinate Wisconsin history buffs, February 5, 2002

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Haunted Wisconsin (Paperback)

Wisconsin is best known as the Dairy State and renowned for cheese, recreation, and one of the finest state university systems in the country. What most people might not realize is that Wisconsin is also home to some of the eeriest supernatural events and strangest ghost stories sworn to be true. Indeed, Wisconsin could well be considered as one of the most haunted of the 50 states. All this is documented in newly revised and updated edition of Michael Norman and Beth Scott's Haunted Wisconsin, a classic and superbly presented compendium of true ghost stories and eye-witness accounts of supernatural occurrences. Haunted Wisconsin showcases an aspect of the Badger State that will utterly fascinate Wisconsin history buffs and students of the paranormal.

4.0 out of 5 stars A FOUR STAR BOOK!, August 21, 1998

By A Customer

This is a wonderful book that deserves to be in your library of nonfiction paranormal books! Michael Norman and Beth Scott deliver a well written and well researched book. These stories will send tingles down your spine! I recommend "Haunted Heartland, Haunted America and Historic Haunted America." All of their books are great!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read., March 9, 2009

By	John W. (Arlington Hts, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Great stuff for the coffee table up at our WI cottage. People seem to like it. If you're in that mood, and want to read a Wisconsin ghost story or two, this is a good choice. People don't realize that Wisconsin is (allegedly, for you non-believers) one of the most haunted states. Tons of paranormal activity reported in WI. No surprise really, with all the old farms and farmhouses, ancient woods and lakes, and all its great history. Have fun with it.
