As all good Wisconsinites know, there's a lot more to the Badger State than, well, badgers. We have cows, cheese, the Packers, bratwurst, lakes, the Packers, polkas, cornfields, and the Packers.

As all good Wisconsinites know, there's a lot more to the Badger State than, well, badgers. We have cows, cheese, the Packers, bratwurst, lakes, the Packers, polkas, cornfields, and the Packers. But Wisconsin is also filled to the brim with weirdness. And the best chroniclers of our state's odd folks, strange beasts, and local legends are Linda S. Godfrey and Richard D. Hendricks, both firm believers that Wisconsin is one of the most bizarre states in the whole nation.For years, Linda and Richard have looked for the offbeat and found it just about everywhere. Whether it's traveling down Bray Road looking for its famed beast, researching the scalped lady of Prairie du Chien, or hanging out in Haunchyville, our fearless reporters, with cameras and notebooks in hand, have uncovered more weirdness than any one state has a right to have.So grab a hunk of cheese and start browsing. Visit Burlington's Spinning Top Museum, hear about Washington County's Goatman, and recoil at the worm shower of Palmyra. Take a look at Highway 13's Reptile Man, see the World's Largest Six Pack, get spooked over the ghosts of Kenosha and the haunted bridges of Stevens Point. Meet Madison's Loony Lawyer, have a Bud with Elvis at his tavern in Phillips (honest!), and learn about the Wily Wizard of Waukesha. It's all wild, all weird, and all Wisconsin.A brand-new entry in the best-selling Weird U.S. series, Weird Wisconsin proves without a doubt that Wisconsin is filled with a lot more than just milk and cheese. Join Linda and Richard on their grand adventure. It's a journey you'll never forget.Linda S. Godfrey is an author and artist working in rural Elkhorn, Wisconsin. She has written and provided illustrations for two nonfiction books —The Poison Widow: A True Story of Sin, Strychnine, and Murder and The Beast of Bray Road: Tailing Wisconsin's Werewolf, both published in 2003.
