Spooky Wisconsin by S.E. Schlosser
"As Lucille approached the wide double doors, her heart started pounding in fear. There was an oddly metallic smell in the air - the smell of blood. Something was wrong! Lucille wrenched the doors open and stepped into the barn, the light from her lantern flickering across the dusty floor. Then she saw the broken body of her husband lying a few feet away..."
Meet Lucille, the wife of a drayman, whose husband returns after death to track down the man who murdered him in The Shrouded Horseman, one of 25 spooky stories in this collection of Wisconsin folklore by S.E. Schlosser. You will also read about the flaming ghosts who haunt Peshtigo, the vengeful phantoms of Ridgeway, the murderous spirit of the Windigo that stalked a hunter and his sons in the north woods, and of course Paul Bunyan, who spends a whole winter logging season dealing with a Dark Lord's Curse. Great for around the campire, for Halloween, or anytime!
