Wisconsin Legends & Lore

"Wisconsin Legends & Lore" explores a rich diversity of stories from around the state and is a great read for those interested in Wisconsin history as well as those who like a great campfire story.

Wisconsin is a land rich with stories. It was the “mother of all circuses,” a place of buried treasure and home to eerie ghosts and monsters. Native American legends, tall tales told at lumberjack camps and taverns, ghost lore and modern urban legends all form the wonderful mythology of the Dairy State.

Many know of Rhinelander’s famous Hodag, the Beast of Bray Road in Elkhorn, Milwaukee’s haunted Pfister Hotel and the Ridgeway Ghost. But few have heard obscure tales like the Christmas Tree Ghost Ship of Two Rivers, the Goatman of Richfield’s Hogsback Road and the legend of the Witch’s Tower of Whitewater. The author, Tea Krulos, is an expert in all things strange and unusual, digs up Wisconsin favorites and arcane lore.
