Investigating the Paranormal Activity at Weary Road Wisconsin
Where We Ran into Something We Were Not Prepared to See
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.

i have one picture from weary road that i cannot explain. after being there for about an hour we got back to the foot bridge and my brother decided that he was going to, sorry about the vulger in this but urinate off the bridge and as he was i got a picture of an orb right to the side of the bridge where the huge bush is. then i got this deathly cold feeling. then we decided to leave and as we were driving away i had looked at the photo that was just taken for the first time and saw that and thought that mabey that deathly cold feeling had something to do with the picture that had been taken. Also i have always heard and read that you are not supposed to anger spirits or ghosts whichever you want to call them but either way i feel that my brother angered one.

Forgot to note that when we were trying to leave a big truck tried to make us drive off the road. We ended up having to drive off the road or we'd crash head on to the truck. That's when the dogs attacked and surrounded our car barking. And when we were just getting onto the road in the beginning there was a car maybe 100 ft behind us. No turns on this road whatsoever. My friend said just wait it will dissapear randomly. I was like yeah right. It dissapeared. The car lights weren't shining anymore and you couldn't see anything there. Ehh :/

My full comment didn't post. But something was rustling in the corn field surrounding the trail. It got a good look of what I saw. From what I remember it was a human, bald, very pale skin (being that I could see it with no flashlight) not sure if it was wearing clothes. At that point I got an anxiety attack because I forgot to take my medication for it as well. I couldn't breathe. Faceplanted in the dirt as I was trying to run back and it seemed to turn around cause the running and rustling was coming back towards me. I eventually made it to the car out of breath almost fainting. That night was something different. I won't forget it. :/

so this is me and my friends weve all been to weary rd. a ton of times. one of my friends has seen somebody hanging in a tree in a nightgown. four of us parked on the side of the bridge walked to a second bridge and did a sayanse. we all felt a very strong presence. one of our stupid friends invited it to stay at his house. so after that it felt like someone stayed with us. we were in the cornfield and and were right next to the road and seen a car coming so we ran back across the bridge and to my car and quickly turned the headlights on and there was no car to be seen anywhere and we are surrounded by water... i mean this was a big old truck huge lights. curcular yellowish tint. also almost hit tons of raccoons. almost went into ditch because of a raccoon on the sharp turn with gravel. also another friend has seen a cat doing something at the bottom of a tree and then later same cat different treee and down the road. i have turned my car off on the bridge and nothing has happened. exc
I followed the research I did. Of course with legends they vary person to person so there will be changes depending who you talk to.
As for cornfields, we don't trespass we RESPECT property and we don't go to places we don't know at night. It's just not safe. Safety first.

Ok I live in evansville ,wi where weary road is located. and i've been out there millions of times with my friends.
and i dont think you got all of the details right. it wasnt the mother who hung herself. it was the father. and the first time you go out there. youre suposed to see a racoon. and I did!
and the first time i went out there, there was this car behind us and it kept getting closer and closer and then they turned their lights off and started to speed and went in front of us then jsut drove way ahead of us. and wen you go weary road your suposed to go at night. nothing will happen during the day. and nothin actually happens on the road! geez. u guys know nothing about the legend! your suposed to go into the corn field and walk around and there is a path. wen u find the path it leads exactly to thehouse that was burned down. and the tree is there right next to the house and everything. its really scary!
