Welcome new member! I am no longer one. And no longer a site lurker like I was forever...
Go buy Chad and Terry's book "Unexplained Research Wisconsin Guide to Haunted Locations" and it will give you information on how to find the places and what to look for, and history on it!
The book is at Conkey's and Book World, and many of other places, and it's definately worth getting! Or you can get it from this website, go see the main page for the site...
There are many places from the Fox Cities listed in the book.... I live about an hour away, so I am soon to start planning some road trips to go check out some of these places!

this place sounds very interesting!
I am guessing this is about an hour's drive from here....
How hard would it be to find from Highway 10 or 441 or 41? Some type of main road?
And reading this, I should only be glad I don't work weekends anymore, like I used to! It's Spring. It's time for a road trip.
Can you guess I have Cabin Fever and need a time out?

*shudders*
And I just wonder what he would have predicted about the OJ Simpson case...
Seems like these guys really know how to get off the hook and look innocent, IMO.

Thanks for the info, Always!
I have always been a reader of Ann Rule, but not the author you mentioned. I want to be like her when I grow up... mind and all.
I am at the very beginning of Haunted Wisconsin, yet read a few parts ahead, out of curiousity. It's not like it was a book that you could not do that with.....
Here's how lame my brain was in the past year or so.
I bought that book -- Haunted Wisconsin, and then added it to my shelf, never read as I was waiting for a rainy day and I got preabsorbed reading murder books.
After Christmas I was at Conkey's in Appleton and saw a book -- Haunted Wisconsin -- and knew I did not have a book with a cover like that one, with an awesome pic on the cover that was black and white. So I bought it. Then to realize more than a few months later (meaning, recently) that I had the same book... it was now with a different cover, and this was the revised edition. It explains that there are other books, and that Beth Scott, one of the authors had died a few years ago. Still, the picture makes me stare and wonder...
Thanks again for the info! ~Carpe diem~

I finished the book "Grave's End", the book is spectacular, right down to explaining things in words I could understand and not have to look things up in a dictionary.
What was really impressive was how the author's brother found a source, who found out how to get ahold of Hans Holzer. Just down right incredible, on how they dealt with the vortex as well as communicating with the spirits, letting them know it was time to leave, to move on... in another language!
The book is said to be true. Written by Elaine Mercado, the lady who bought the house years ago... and still lives there.
If you are looking for a good book to read, perhaps think of this one? And then let me know what you think.... hopefully you will agree that it is great!
Happy April Fools Day, all!

Due to what type of winter I have been having, and time getting the best of me, I have been having a hard time grasping the information content in the book I was reading (interviews with Dahmer, Gacy and other serial killers by a CIA agent). I think it is the authors writing style, why I was having a hard time getting very interested in the book, it'll be put away for a rainy day, I guess.
Sunday we went to the city library, I was a a search, for some better reading material. Something ghost like, or murder like, the usual.
On the computer search, I stumbled across the title of a book called Grave's End A true Ghost Story by Elaine Mercado, R.N. The cover of the book shows a black and white pic of an incredible looking house, and unkept front lawn. Skeleton trees. I guess the book found me.
I am already half done, and have had a horribly busy week, it's been hard to put the book down. It tells the story of a couple who bought the house and how they had to deal with the spirits, who did not seem harmful, how they affected the children, and what happened to their lives. The lady tells the story first hand.
If you are looking for a book of this type, it is good. Easy to read. And the back of the book lists other paranormal/ghost/haunted books...
Another book I picked up was called Haunted America -- it lists many different places and investigations through out the USA. A hard cover book that is smaller, and even had an older publication date, but seemed to be interesting as well...
And lastly, Book World in Manitowoc -- grrrrrr. Terry and Chad:, you need to call there, and ask if they have your book. Pose to be a customer. They cannot find it in search, or never heard of it. The lady was busy eating potato chips. And wanted me to look for the book in new Age, and then Regional. Nothing. I pointed it out to her, and she was not that willing to help. I spelled out your names, and she still could not come up with anything, and was hesitant to take an order or inquiry. I actually was on a mission to get another book of yours, one for the car, and one for home (the signed one from last October, so it does not get dog eared or bent).
So, guess who was a former secret shopper? Yep, me. I got paid for it, and loved doing it. But with the job I work now, it's impossible. I miss it, still do occasional projects in Appleton or Fox City area, but not locally... imagine over 10 years of secret shopping at the best places, down the drain...

I am guessing you mean Marinette Shipbuilding? (I have a few cousins working there, or who used to work there) When I was young, I used to go to Marinette/Peshtigo/Oconto often, for the summer, or weekends (due to parents health problems, or dad's working agenda -- he was a police man -- when my mom was pregnant and hospitalized). Too young to stay alone. Used to stay by my grandparents house, or uncle & aunts. We used to go to this place between Marinette and Menominee, MI -- it was called Mystery Ship Seaport. This might be the link -- www.acbs-bslol.com/Porthole/AlvinClark.htm , hopefully this will open a new window. I remember hearing it was haunted, and I was about 7. Seeing the ship, the green/blue cheese, the narrow walkways, and holding my breath and moving on with my aunt, intruiged. It all seems so long ago... I have not seen this structure there in years, and with my grandma's death a year ago, I have not been in that area as much as I used to be when she was alive. Still, if it was there today, I would want to walk my kids thru it.... I wish I had pics of it. Or more memory of it. Does anyone remember this place? Curious....

Wow, this all sounds interesting!
Go to the site board *where is everyone from* and you can see where many members are from. That is what I did, 4 months ago is when I joined (still I lurked for a while before that).
I must not live more than an hour from you... so I won't ask if you want some snow!

I bought a few of these books the middle of October, as a pre-order (from Chad/Terry at the Appleton conference). They were to be Christmas gifts. Still. I could not wait for Christmas to get there, for these select people.... so they have had them for over a month now and love them. Many road trips in progress, and we have been printing out road maps on Yahoo and all... just can't wait for a day off and good weather! Hope your weekend was splendid, all!

*jaw drops* Wow, Dave! This is the closest I have seen of a pic like that, and not just a blurr in the distance....
Thanks for sharing!
And now I wonder, was "it" smiling or not??

So now I wonder if this is the same area I go to, is it the cemetary (old one) from St. Mary's church in Manitowoc?
It woudl be called St. Mary's The Ressurection. Most of the wooden crosses are redone, and are from the 1800's. When you mention that kind of distance from the street, and by a horse riding area, I am guessing this is it?
We have friends who live across the street. We don't know them well enough to go there to their house and visit, the lady works with my husband. Still... I talked to her husband one of the last times I was there, and he told me some things that made me wonder. Just about the type of crowd that used to be there, and why the police department monitors things closer.
Still, whatever this place is (the Ressurection cemetary), it is grand... I love to just stand there and observe the silence of it all...
carpe diem
