Growing up in Wisconsin. Played in many fields and woods. I feel like any woods can be creepy at night. Your mind can play many tricks and make you believe it's true.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Your mind can definitely play tricks on you in the woods.

[@alfonsosalinas3026]

The GOAT is back! On location exploring as always. Underrated channel.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thanks!

[@tomawen5916]

Well done. I just lost my ability to go to sleep now after watching this. This is why I don't wander through woods, cemeteries or other creepy places. Period.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@MyKingdomForAK9]

@tomawen, and @Strange&Sinister: In May, 2017, thru that Oct/Nov, I exclusively walked our local cemetaries, and forests, due to becoming Hitler death-camp thin, from 6 rounds of chemo.: Didn't want anyone to see my bony self, sadly. Strangely, I'm still here 😅; I'm a stage-4 cancer survivor. 🎉 My, now, late mate🕯, and myself, encountered what I think, was a talking ghost 🙃 (by the mausoleum) and a huge, talking red fox (sitting right next to my large, upright red-granite parent's gravestone) during two cemetary visits. Additionally, at that same cemetary, we encountered either heroin addicts, or, were they zombies (?) while walking around war memorials. They never said hello, and never looked at us; weird! No odd experiences at other cemetaries, only that one, above. Want to email you about these Wisconsin-cemetary experiences; saw your email, @StrangeandSinster, however, haven't typed to you, yet. Typed about them on Ghosts of America; a public true-storytelling area. Two woods-walk things happened, too; one, during late 1980s high-school year, and another, in same zone, in winter 2006. Safe on long woods hikes; (even at night). It's daytime cemetary walks that are disconcerting, at the local one, I typed about.

[@pattireichel3197]

Was so happy when your videos popped up! Great video!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

😊 Thank you!

[@m.y.o.b.724]

Props to you for wandering through creepy woods and cemeteries at night. It's easy to see why people come up with paranormal stories in these types of places. Nothing is scarier than the living, though. I did enjoy the video.👍

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Very true. Walking around that forest was unsettling.

I really enjoy your work. If you ever want somebody to go with you (so you aren’t going to these places solo at night lol), I can give you my info. You have balls of steel my friend. Anyway, cheers! And thank you for the awesome channel!!

Yes the Bray Road Beast, and Avon bottoms, I have spent many nights in both places seeing nothing but knew nothing of the Avon area,. Great video! I could not go in there alone!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

They're both creepy but I didn't have a paranormal experience at either of those locations.

[@RubbleD]

Never really noticed your accent until this video. Really adds to the authenticity. Love your videos, keep it up

[@critterscute3642]

Superb episode. When you started your flashlight lit trek into the Avon Bottoms woods, the mother in me was screaming, “No! Are you crazy?!? Don’t do that!!” 😂 Of course, if you weren’t doing that, there’d be no video! Thanks for another great episode!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

👍 Glad you enjoyed it! It was creepy walking back to my car, I kept looking behind me with the flashlight.

[@rgarlinyc]

Dang, Wisconsin sure is chock-full of haunted and super scary places! I wonder why; what gives it that distinction, do you know...? Also, kudos to you for wandering all over in the cemeteries at night, and then 2 miles deep into the woods too? You deserve a special medal, lemme tellya! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you! Wisconsin is often said to be the most haunted state in the nation. It was scary wandering around these places at night. The woods of Hell's Playground was unsettling.

[@kratos7893]

I live here.. ppl like to.. umm exaggerate a bit lol plus the power of suggestion is a powerful thing. I have heard so many different stories about the beast of brey road. There is a cool wood carving of it when you first turn onto the road.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

The wood carving is cool. I filmed it when I made my beast of bray road video.

[@andreajanota6258]

I definitely have to check these places out. Thanks again.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

👍 Forest Hill Cemetery is pretty cool. Lots of history there.

[@snobird1252]

Having been born and raised in Wisconsin I am familiar with the stories about Avon Bottoms and Hell's Playground. My parents were both born in Brodhead and I've worked there as a bus driver and driver's ed instructor. I've known people who live in and near Avon and have heard accounts of what the legends are and some of the activity there. Another local legend about paranormal activity is near Evansville. A road named Weary Rd. is said to have an eerie past and some strange occurrences. The history varies but it is something to look into. Thank you for your investigation.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I made a video on the haunted legends of Weary Road: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqeslXiPfLuenJo

[@brucemoriarty9964]

I love your stories. I live in Iowa. I sure wish you would tell more stories about the Midwest. Like Iowa , Missouri, Nebraska etc. And thank you for your work. God Bless and Merry Christmas 🙏🎄🇺🇸

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you, and Merry Christmas! I plan to visit Iowa and other parts of the midwest. I'd really like to stay overnight at the Villisca ax murder house and make a video on that.

Thank you for watching!

[@crushers900]

Just wanna say how much I love your content. I love the paranormal/ urban legends. So I'm always interested in learning new legends.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you, I appreciate the support! 👍

[@square3431]

having lived in wisconsin my whole life it’s super cool to hear all of these stories and legends! not to mention your videos are always very well put together. i’m from oshkosh, and though it’s not nearly as scary as some of the things you cover, since last year i’ve been seeing more and more strange circles made of branches suspended between trees in the woods near my house. first i only saw one near a farm field, but as time went on i would see more of them, and even archways built in the same style all near public walking paths. i even found a geocache in one 😂

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you! I’m always interested in hearing about strange occurrences like that in Wisconsin. It's like the tree version of crop circles.

[@izzyjones7108]

Forest hill- I've been there many times. And imo Hunted for sure.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

See a ghost or communicate with one? If you were ghost hunting I mean.

[@shapelessX]

Youre one of my favourite channels. I watch weekly for new videos

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I just recently found your channel and ive been binging your back catalog. Wisconsins fox valley is my home so its been amazing discovering these locations through you! Keep up the good work!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thanks Hannah! 👍

[@anonymousguy1794]

As someone that lives in the stateline area, the amount of places like this is astounding. Now I've got loads of places to take the family for exploration.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

👍

[@izzyjones7108]

😮 I've been to a few of these places and I love listening to these stories.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

👍 You've been to the locations in this video? Any strange experiences?

[@Veronica.A.]

The HCRM or the last one, sounds realistic. After all, they're tortured souls that are still seeking redemption. Well researched and great video as always S &S!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you Veronica! Agreed, seeking redemption, plus the plaques were removed.

[@kjpphotography4764]

Another great video and cool places. I might have been to Avon Cemetery at one time, but it was in the afternoon.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Did you know about the Nellie Brace story? It was bitterly cold when I went there. I literally had to stop recording to prevent my hands from getting frostbit. It was weird because I went to the other location minutes away and it was fine, but I think because the cemetery is surrounded by open fields there was more wind. It was the day that arctic blast began.

[@kjpphotography4764]

@@StrangeandSinister1 No at the time I went in the early 90's, I didn't know about the Nellie Brace story. Maybe Nellie Brace made your hands cold. LOL

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I don't know but it was windy and extremely cold. Hopefully it warms up again soon.

[@reloader7035]

Another cool video. I really enjoy watching them.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@patrickmartinez1358]

I hunt these woods, definitely Erie as hell at times always feel like someone is watching you. I’ve seen stuff at night that I still can’t explain.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I've felt that vibe out in the woods there too. What did you see?

[@patrickmartinez1358]

@ hard to explain to be honest but I had 2 other people with me that saw it too, best I can describe was a bright ball of light that lit up the woods when it was pitch black out and it was like 2-3 flashes and I know for a fact it was not a trail cam lol cause it was at 2 different heights and 20 feet apart within seconds. So we all ran hopped in the truck and I saw lights behind the truck I thought it was another car coming so I pulled over and waited when I hit the end of Nelson and no car ever came. Just kinda unexplainable all I know is every hair on my body stood up. 😂

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Wow, that's really weird. I saw something similar in the forest by Bachelors Grove Cemetery in Illinois. I made a video about the cemetery and told my story at the end. All three of us saw two floating balls of light that lasted seconds before vanishing. The lights illuminated the forest around it.

[@patrickmartinez1358]

@@StrangeandSinister1 yeah that sounds like something similar to what I’m talking about. Some crazy shit in this world lol.

[@seanwinters3583]

I grew up in Avon. So many scary stories. Even the house we lived in was crazy. Both my uncle and my brother used to see something like clowns in the trees from their window. They both claimed to have seen a portal appear in their room along an inward facing wall that led to outside. My uncle and him slept in the same room about 20 years apart. My Grandpa found a body on the land about 10-20 years ago. Also check out Scotch Hill Cemetery, just outside of Brodhead. Once I was walking there during the day, was looking at the grave of a newborn and then I got a bloody nose.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Did he call the police? Thanks for the suggestion, I might check that out some time.

[@MosHighChadro]

I'm interested in hauntings in Rock county. Janesville or Beloit specifically. My grandmother lived in a house on prairie avenue in Beloit which was haunted and scared the hell out of me as a child. Also I rented a house on the corner of St Lawrence and bluff in Beloit, in that place was haunted.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

😦 Did you see ghosts in the house?

[@mattshull426]

Another BANGER video!!!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thanks Matt! 👍

[@kratos7893]

There is a cool 8 foot wood carving of the beast when you turn onto brey road on the right.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

That might be a different carving from the one I filmed for my Bray Road video. The one I filmed was in a front lawn.

[@kratos7893]

@StrangeandSinister1 sounds like the same one, it might be alil shorter than 8ft, its been a few years since i last saw it from the road.

[@KodeyB]

My friends and I used to drive around Avon Bottoms all the time when I was about 15-18. This is my first time hearing about the dog man stories honestly, but I do remember a time that we kept hearing this very strange yell coming from the woods while driving around. It sounded like it was always the same distance away no matter where we went and was always loud enough to be audible over the truck and music. It did freak us out a bit but we didn't linger on it too much, guess I can see why there would be a dog man legend

[@StrangeandSinister1]

That's really weird. The dog man sighting in the Avon Bottoms that I featured in the video occurred in 2004. The swamp monster story/sightings I mentioned existed long before that.

[@lindaandrews5468]

Love your channel.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you Lisa! Glad you enjoy it!

[@markhollis7219]

i use to hunt arrowheads in the avon bottoms, about a mile east of where your at. the property owner would let me camp over night. i never saw or heard anything paranormal, but the area sure gave me the creeps, especially at night. i did find quite a few arrowheads in the area.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Very cool. I've gone arrowhead hunting a few times in creeks and eroded river banks but never had any luck. I was big into metal detecting as well. It is a creepy area for sure.

[@markhollis7219]

Rivers and creeks in this area all have muddy bottoms, so the chances of finding any arrowheads are very slim. gotta go to Missouri or southern Illinois, where the rivers and creeks, have gravel bars and you can see thru the shallow, clear water. I use to walk the plowed fields in the avon bottoms and would find them after a good rain. and I always had my eye out for bigfoot to, lol.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

👍 Hopefully one day I'll find one.

[@kerprice]

Avon Bottoms looks extremely creepy during the daytime as well 😬

[@StrangeandSinister1]

It was creepy and eerily quiet during the day.

[@Spooky711B]

[@kenbarkdoll7252]

I fished the Avon Bottoms at Nelson Landing a few times. I also used Nelson Road coming back to Illinois from Madison at night. I get the creepy part, but never saw anything myself. I disliked that portions of the road had no shoulder with swamp to the side. Avon used to be a going concern, with a store and blacksmith shop.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

It looked like a good place to fish. I'm a fisherman as well. It looked deep by the bridge.

20:27 - 20;34 - noticing that light on the side of that stone blinking on and off and 13:31 beside the two head stones its like a orb or something there and 13:43 - two orbs spotted next to the side of the shed before you looked into it and also the two orbs at !4:00 again and right around 14:10-14:16 I saw a light or something there could be a orb and notice around 14:25 and 16:59-17-01 saw a glowing light in the distance and 17:02-17:07 I seen another light in the distance might be a orb or something there and 17:13 another light orb off in the distance went on and off and 19:09 look in the distance something glowing and 20:25 looks like something glowing there and I saw a bright flash of light between the avon story in the park or somewhere along there you might want to go back and check that out as well

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you for the observations. I went back and reviewed the timestamps you referenced and most of them are house lights in the distance and my flashlight reflecting off of granite gravestones. The distant lights next to the maintenance shed in the Avon Cemetery footage are from a farm house across the road. The distant lights in the Forest Hill Cemetery clips are from homes that line the edge of the cemetery. The entire cemetery is surrounded by homes. The faint light in the Avon Cemetery footage from 14:10 to 14:15 is probably just a reflection from a glossy gravestone, or from a light placed there by a family member, but I'm not sure. Thanks again for pointing all of this out.

Me and my family have drove past the beast of bray road and the werewolf statue was covered with a tan tarp. I'm not sure why it was but it was still creepy. This was back in 2022 I believe. If you're curious there is an episode on Expedition X with Josh Gates, I think it was season 3 episode 1-2 that's all about The Beast of Bray Road if you ever want to make another video about it.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I might make another video about it again. Maybe if I can collect some ghost stories from my viewers, I'll feature them along with some things not covered in the first video. That would be cool.

Not far from Avon, have a friend that lives over there (you past it) . Never knew about the legend there, just went fishing there lol

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Looks like a good place to fish.

[@gerrykubly8188]

In the 1980's I used to fish at the Bridge at the W Newark Rd Boat launch. I had to stop fishing there because, on 2 different occasions, a body was found floating in the water just South of the Bridge. I lived on Brandherm Rd and loved the Bottoms but really didn't want to witness something I wasn't meant to see, let alone snag a body.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I can see why you'd stop fishing there after that. I'm a fisherman too and wade fished a lot of creeks and rivers but luckily never witnessed anything like that while fishing. I hope I never do.

@StrangeandSinister1 yes it it and that is prolly all I know minus giving them a heads up before they damed it but not everybody made it nor could they get their loved ones unburied

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I will have to learn more about that, it sounds really interesting. Did this all take place in Hayward?

[@recordhuntertv9921]

@StrangeandSinister1 all of it took place from what I know on the making of the chippewa flowage. Connects 7 or 8 lakes now. And I seen the lumps or burial mounds on some of the islands and but haven't really look for the cemetery underwater

[@StrangeandSinister1]

That's crazy. A cemetery underwater? Do you know where?

[@mattwaringadventures8176]

My fiance use to live there as a child. In 76 they moved there. Carey escaped prison, probation or found not guilty. Unsure but was free. Him and his mother use to visit her parents for coffee like once a week. He was developmentally disabled. Strange folks. Decades later he was charged with animal cruelity for 300 head of cattle. Dnr bought their land. Had many acres. Still have many old cars there. Cattle use to use some as bridges. Swampy area. A farmer lost a whole tractor to quick sand like mud. Bigfoot and dogman rumors have some truth. Do not wander off trials. And not possible to walk to 2 miles from (hells gate) parking area, on that trail but city folks over estimate. Seen weird barefoot tracks in march 500 yards from any road. Very strange! Child or woman size. Cold temps. Did not make sense! Many other strange things. Legit, scattered facts, wrong areas although close but true.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Interesting. Thank you for sharing this, and that is weird about the tracks you discovered. The woods definitely had an eerie vibe, even during the day. Well maybe not two miles but I walked all the way into that field at the end where the main trail/road ends. Very swampy and desolate area.

[@mattwaringadventures8176]

@@StrangeandSinister1 very weird vibes in area. She has so many strange stories. House she lived in was haunted. Her Dad was friendly with Brian Carey and his mom but her Mom warned her to stay away from them. Her Mom, Grandparents, Great Grandparents, aunts. uncles and cousins are buried there. Family resting place. She will be buried there. Blackhawk indians use to attack settlers here long long ago.

[@mattwaringadventures8176]

If you ever revisit area or do a investigation let me know. Fiancee father, who lived there, can show ya around. You got a lot right.

[@mattwaringadventures8176]

Also nearby is Rollercoaster rd. Many, many deaths happened there over the years. Use to be gravel and then paved. So many teenagers died in both eras!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Sounds good, thank you.

[@dinobone]

Dogman in the south. & Hodag in the north 😂

[@Keishu1gamer]

Hey I loved to go hunting there. The only thing is there wasn't really much wild life anymore. I haven't gone hunting in the last 8 years. but I still go to the swamp where the swamp creatures is. they have post everywhere around there. I have never seen anything or heard anything. But I have heard the dog man has been out behind the old manner in them woods but now it's been destroyed and the hospital place is there.

[@kentporter8708]

There is a verified report From the La.Crosse tribune the a corpse was dug up then found on French Island 5 miles away , the body was returned to the Campbell cemetery in La Crosse and that person haunts the very old cemetery to this day , Campbell cemetery is on oak St in La Crosse , civil war plots with some vets hanging out in my basement on Palace st 8 blocks away , the Campbell cemetery is located on oak St & Palace st

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Wow that sounds like an interesting story. Thanks for sharing it. I'll have to look into that.

[@eddiehardt]

I completely forgot about it, but the pet cemetery in Hanover Park is the Illinois Pet Cemetery and was established in 1926. Here’s the address. 347 County Farm Rd, Hanover Park, IL 60133

[@eddiehardt]

And I might go to the cemetery on Bloods Point Road using night vision goggles with my friend. If we do go, I’ll try to take some footage through the goggles if possible

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you for the suggestion. I made a note of it. Is it known to be haunted?

[@eddiehardt]

@ I remember hearing about bodies washing up on the shores from the burial grounds after the valley was flooded. I’ve always had a strange feeling about the campground nearby growing up, too. Going fishing at the boat launches always had an eerie feeling even during the day. There’s also a lake within 30 minutes away where 2 little kids apparently got sucked into a spot that feeds into the springs of another lake. I don’t remember the name of that lake, but my parents would tell the story about it to my sister and I when we were kids. If you do go at night, just be extremely careful. There are quite a few large bears around there that didn’t fit in the traps they had. There’s also timber wolves and cougars in the area.

[@eddiehardt]

@ I replied to the wrong comment. This comment is about the Chippewa Flowage. As far as I know, the Pet Cemetery isn’t haunted, but I personally find it pretty creepy

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Wow, that's sad if the stories about bodies being displaced from the flooding are true. Thank you. I've been going to northern Wisconsin every year since I was a kid and had a close encounter with a massive black bear once (luckily no cubs). I never saw a cougar up there but I know they're there. The place I want to film will be tricky to access but we'll see.

[@unknownsoldier6731]

Do you carry while on these journeys at night ?

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I protect myself.

[@kenmock308]

Do you Have any ghost stories around the Clark County area? I've heard of a tail about 3 bicyclists being killed by a truck driver passing over the Black River Bridge on cty trk N and the legend is that you can hear screams if you are around the area of the Bridge. Not sure it it's true, been there a few times and haven't heard anything. Not sure if the story is true or not.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I haven't heard about the story but it sounds interesting. What city is the Black River bridge you're referring to located?

[@kenmock308]

@StrangeandSinister1 Greenwood, Wisconsin

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into the story and location.

I go to Forest Hill a few times a year to walk around and do photography and never have any experiences - guess I'm doing something wrong there.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

It's a great place for photography. That place is huge.

[@usedscar]

Maybe the dogman is a deformed moose? I live on the Illinois border will let you know as we were thinking of moving north.

A moose in southern Wisconsin.

There are none in southern WI but they've been seen in northern WI.

From Avon and actually the hells playground is in Brodhead at one of the parks many people get this wrong

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Where?

[@jp9646]

I have fished the bottoms for cat fish many of years. Never hearing of those stories. Interesting to know . I will say the people who live around the bottoms can be a bit rough. Be care full a lot of weed is grown around there. Might get shot for trespassing. It is a rough area.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thanks for the heads up.

[@Josh-r9h]

There isn’t a play ground, it’s called hells playground because of the off road trails from trucks over the years. One of the mud holes on the trail is called hell’s hole because trucks get buried in it, I’ve seen trucks stuck for years.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Hell's Playground is noted in the paranormal book, Weird Wisconsin, which tells the haunted legend about the "playground", but thanks for the comment. I read somewhere about vehicles getting stuck in the mud back there too and that's why the entrance was barricaded off.

the old road would have been that gate and then it goes down and around the east side of river and then was a bridge that connected with the now sugar river boat ramp in then went south to a small farm and its current driveway was the road be
