Werewolves, Witches, Sea
Monsters & Tiny Terrors
by Rod O'Connor, My Mid-west
IN THE FALL, WHEN THE TREES GO BARE AND THE WIND
WHIPS through the hills, Wisconsin’s miles and miles of
unassuming dairy farms seem quite capable of hiding some
sort of Gothic menace. Those winding country roads, so
peaceful during daylight, become downright eerie when
the sky turns black.
It’s the perfect setting for a spooky campfire story,
and the Badger State has plenty of them: haunted inns,
unexplained creatures, UFOs. Many originated centuries
ago when various populations—first, Native Americans;
later, Germans, Norwegians, Bohemians and Swedes—flocked
to this naturally abundant land of glacial plains and
more than 8,000 lakes.
Visit Green Bay and you’ll hear loup garou (werewolf)
legends that build on traditional French folk tales.
Near Door County, where there were Polish populations,
shrines were built in farms to keep the devils away. Add
to that a rich legacy of Native American
mysticism—Wisconsin reputedly has more animal-shaped
effigy mounds than anyplace else in the world—and the
ground is fertile for weirdness...

Closet-Dwelling Ghost Haunted
Carradine
Pop Eater
File this
squarely under creepy. A few months before his body
was found hanging in a Bangkok hotel room closet,
David Carradine sat down to discuss a ghost he
believed was haunting him ... from a closet.
The interview, taped for the Oct. 3 premiere of the
BIO show 'Celebrity Ghost Stories,' centers on
Carradine's belief that his wife Annie's deceased
husband Dana was using the closet in their bedroom
as home base to spook them. In the footage, the late
'Kung Fu' actor describes the "icy cold" feeling he
got.
"I think he was hanging out in the closet, and
sometimes when I walked into that closet ... it
would be cold in there, unreasonably cold,"
Carradine said, according to quotes from the New
York Post, which claims it's his final interview
ever...

Ontario 'Morphing' UFO Photographed at Close Range
by Roger Marsh, Examiner
In 2005, with college looming for
their four teenagers, Maya and Tom Frost sold their
Oregon home and moved the family to Mexico. They
weren't wealthy (the couple earned "five figures —
together") but were able to save $3,000 a month to
put toward college costs. And they did much more
than that. They broke the traditional mold of how to
educate a child, helping each daughter get a global
education while accruing no debt.
In her book,
The New Global Student
($14.95, Three Rivers Press), Maya Frost describes a
flexible education model that employs such options as
international exchange programs, online study and dual
enrollments that allowed students to take high school
and college courses at the same time.
USA TODAY spoke with Frost.
Q: Tell me what your family did and
why -- and how your four daughters turned out....
