Patrick Reusse: Paranormal Activity In Wisconsin

Central Wisconsin is a mind field full of haunted places. One of the bigger cities in Central Wisconsin I consider is Steven’s Point and there are a lot of place

When you’ve visited this location, have you ever felt like there was the feel of energy or an extra presence with you? If you were asking yourself is the R.O.M haunted? The answer to that would be yes. The first owner of this museum was Charles Currelly, he worked at there for 35 years and retired in 1946. Charles passed away in 1957, however his spirit has not left the building. The museum workers have claimed that they have seen Charles wandering around on the main floor in a nightshirt. Also there has been a museum next door that is now closed because there was apparently a little girl's spirit who say with the live audience when shows were going on.

Wherever you go, it seems like monsters are everywhere; on TV, on Netflix's, on social media. It seems like people are just haunted, and maybe slightly possessed with zombies and vampires.

Many legends of hauntings in Mankato, Minnesota have been told time after time. Though many people tell these stories, it is unknown to whether or not they are true. In this research paper, I will discuss several different legends that have been told throughout time in Mankato. The legends I will further examine are: the legend of Sibley Park, the Memorial Library on campus, the Carnegie Art Center, and the Witch’s Grave. Being that I am from Mankato, Minnesota, I thought it would be very interesting to research more about these legends and the experiences had in these places. Though I, myself, have not experienced anything completely unusual in these places, many people in the town have another experience. Memorates, or accounts of first hand

Located on the grounds of Roanoke College’s campus is the reportedly haunted house known as Monterey. This house was built in 1853 by the Huff family, over time passed through many different owners, and in 2002 was officially bought by Roanoke College. Throughout the history of the house several of the occupants are known to have died within the premises of the property, thus contributing to it’s reputation of being haunted. In our investigation of the Monterey house we spent two nights in the house gathering various types of data to aid us in our attempt to discover what theory of haunting is consistent with the experiences within the house.

The wolf was once a much slandered animal. In the western world, people feared and hated wolves, and this legacy is reflected in stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In these popular children's tales the wolf is made out to be a prowler and a killer of livestock and people. There is some basis for The Boy Who Cried Wolf, for wolves have killed cattle and sheep. But what of Little Red Riding Hood? There are no records of wolves killing humans in Canada or the United States. Yet, when wolves were spotted near rural communities, fear used to grip the populace, but over time this has become less prevalent.

The German word werwolf is recorded by Burchard von Worms in the 11th century, and by Bertold of Regensburg in the 13th, but is not recorded in all of medieval German poetry or fiction. References to werewolves are also rare in England, presumably because whatever significance the "wolf-men" of Germanic paganism had carried, the associated beliefs and practices had been successfully repressed after Christianization (or if they persisted, they did so outside of the sphere of literacy available to us).[18]

Werewolves, mostly creatures of the night, hunt, feed, and survive like other animals. Werewolves are “Mythical creatures,” but there have been many sighting by ordinary people. Werewolves have remained a mystery for a long time. Several theories accumulated over the years on the topic of werewolves. There were Stories about men who shape shift during a full moon, a man wolf hybrid, their possible connection to the legend of the Navajo Skinwalkers, and the side effect of a fungus called Ergot.

It was a dark stormy night. You could see nothing but misty fog as thick as cement. In a village in central India, there was an enormous mountain. On the tip of the rugged mountain, there was a horizontal plain, and on the plain there was an old and rusty house. That house belonged to Dr. Frank Knarf. That night he was working on something. He was in a hurry. His long and broad shadow indicated that he was mixing chemicals. Then suddenly the figure roared with excitement and anger “Yes, I made it: now I can take my revenge!” Dr. Frank quickly gulped the chemical as if he was pleading to drink water for weeks. His body started to enlarge rapidly. His body was covered by long and ragged hair. He looked like a frightening dog. He wasn’t a dog: he was a werewolf. The creature leaped through the shattered window like a frog and landed right in front of the village. Everyone was fast asleep, and so was the owner of the village, Aron Nora.

In Bluffton, Indiana, there is a house that sits on East Wiley Avenue. The house was built in 1910. It is believed that the house contains several spirits. The house is thought to host spirits, although no official deaths or catastrophic events have been recorded. Without these specific records it is hard to say whether or not the accusations are real.

Some people say that werewolves are only mythical creatures"stories about humans shape-shifting into wolf-like creatures are contained in ancient folklore of various cultures, while legends about savage, super-hairy, woods-dwelling men known as Wodewose date back to medieval England”(Classic Monsters at Somerset Public Library) Werewolves are the world's most hairy beast that are there in the woods you just have to find them.

The werewolfs first appearance in literature can be quite arguable. In Greek Mythology, Zeus was said to turn King Lycaon into a wolf-man as punishment due to him eating human flesh and killing children. Others have said however that the werewolfs first outcome in literature was in “The White Wolf of The Hartz Mountains” episode in The Phantom Ship (1839), by Marryat. In this story, it is actually a demonic woman that has the ability to transform into a wolf. With these being the first to mention werewolves in literature, there are now tons of other novels you can choose from that include the werewolf. Some of the most popular being: The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series, by Maggie Stiefvater, The Mortal Instrument Series, by Cassandra Clare and the Twilight saga, by Stephenie Meyer.

The word “Paranormal” is used for a phenomena that is unnatural or cannot be logically explained. It is much easier to think of examples of Paranormal Events or sightings rather than to give a satisfying definition of it. Giving the dictionary meaning of this word surely does not bring it the justice it demands and would defer from what a person actually experiences. So when people say Paranormal, it is something that is complicated or something that is hard to explain and cannot be simply defined
