Hi everyone,
I was just surfing the web and ran into this wonderful site!!! I have always had a great interest in "unexplained phenomenon....although I truly didn't realize that there is so much right in my back yard!!! I actually have been searching for a neat "ghostly" place to stay on our next vacation. I had been considering the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis....but now that I've read some of the posts and some of Chad's research...maybe I'll just go hunting around this area. I'm one of those types that is very, very interested in the unknown...but also one of those types that would probably poop my pants if I actually saw something.
Anyways...I'm from Menomonie and I guess I never had really narrowed in on searching right around here. It's kind of funny...I've actually been to and passed by a lot of the "haunted" places....but never really knew that they were supposedly haunted. I've been thru Caryville many, many times..usually on the way to Rock Falls Raceway with my hubby..lol. Actually, I guess I played 4-H softball near there too. As a teen....I partied many a time at the "Caryville bottoms". I also have been over the some of the "haunted bridges" too...most of them..many times. A lot of my relatives have always lived in the Elk Creek and Spring Brook areas. And then don't forget the Mabel Tainter....I was married there ;D. I guess all of these cool places have been right under my nose the whole time...yet...I've never seen anything cool....I never was "keeping my eyes peeled" for anything either. I'll have to ask my husband about a party that he went to way back when...I'm thinking that it was near the Carryville cemetary..... He had left the party...but a few guys that he knew apparently reported seeing a car driving right at them full speed...(it was just the headlights that they saw) anyways..apparently...all of a sudden..the lights just disappeared. Now...I don't know if they actually saw what they saw or if it was the Jack Daniels talking...but that kind of freaked me out!
Anywho...this is getting kind of long and I should be going...but I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm really glad that I found this site!!! I hope to visit here often..maybe with my own scary story someday? Ohh...by the way...Chad...I see I missed your little seminar in Eau Claire on the 30th...any chance that you'll do something like that again? I'd really be interested in attending!! Now...I'll just have to convince my hubby...who is a total skeptic about all of this kind of stuff!!!!! Ok..thanks again....
