Investigating the Paranormal Activity at Weary Road Wisconsin

Weary Road, located near Evansville in Wisconsin has a history of haunting and a reputation of one of the most haunted places in the state (or so a post on a paranormal forum claims.) Haunting or no, there certainly are several legends of the haunting, the activity, and the cause of the activity. We decided to look around for ourselves.

The Legends and Lore

The legends are as varied as they are numerous. Among them are that a kid was car surfing and died on the bridge.

Another of the varied stories was that there was a family that lived on this road by the name of Weary. The mother supposedly disappeared. As a result of the mother's disappearance the father became a friend of the bottle and a bit of a recluse refusing to speak to anyone. There was a fire at the house, the seven children were inside and perished. The father was nowhere to be found. The mother returned (from wherever it was that she'd run to) and was unaware of what had happened. When she saw the house she hung herself in one of the trees that stretch across Weary Road. A Road Guide To Haunted Locations (the Wisconsin edition) has several legends that involve this family and many different renditions of the circumstances surrounding them and the activity on the road.

Chad Lewis and Terry Fisk report that the majority of these legends have been proven to be false. So, why Weary Road is said to be haunted, and why people experience odd things there still appears to be a mystery.

A forum claims that Weary Road is one of the most haunted places in the state. (Side note here, I have not found any other information backing up this reference to Weary Road.)

What People Have Reported Seeing There

A friend of ours who resides in the region of Weary Road has reported that he and his friends all saw a hell hound near the trees. This happened on the second visit there and was witnessed by multiple people in the group that night.

Posts on a forum report that there were sightings of a man, a barricade of raccoons (yeah, I know,) that would not move until shooed away. Other posts yet on this came forum say bodies hanging from the trees, and ghostly little girls have been spied on the side of the road.
