Badger State Monsters: Cryptids & Legends of Wisconsin | American Folklore & Paranormal Stories | Perfect for Cryptozoology Enthusiasts & Campfire Storytelling

At ten pages, this book is slightly thicker than the book on Texas cryptids in this series. On the cover is a werewolf and on the back cover is a hodag. Part one focuses on lupine and lupoid beings such as the Ah'ne-pe, werewolves, the bear wolf of Oconto County, and the Beast of Bray Road. Part two focuses on Bigfoot and similar beings such as Bu-way-jinin, Cee-ha-tonka, the Hairy Man of Smoky Hill Mounds, the Cashton Creature and the Bluff Monster, to name a few. The section on aquatic monsters covers Mishipeshu, Bozho, Waaktcexi, Wakauija, Jenny of Geneva Lake, Pepie of Lake Pepin, and a variety of other monsters that dwell in lakes and rivers, too many for me to list and many do not have names. Part four covers a variety of beasts, black panthera, phantom Kangaroos, thunderbirds such as Chequah and Chenemeke, the Wendigo, the Goatman, Pigmen, giants, pygmy mastodons, Memegwesi, Memkeweisak, an elfish being named Pumpkin, a couple of vampiric mystery beasts and more. The final section covers the Fearsome Critters of lumberjack more and the author admits that only a selection are covered. Among them are large mosquitoes, snow snakes, hoop snakes, argopelters, the axehandle hound, gumberoo, hidebehind, luferlang, sliver cat, Gyascutus, whirligig fish, goofus bird, gillygaloo, fur-bearing trout, and the Hodag gets a whole chapter. Lots of pics in the form of photos and illustrations.
