The Weird Wisconsin website ponders the multitude of Devil-related place names in Wisconsin.
"Another theory holds that early settlers often named places because of paranormal events. Something odd and beyond understanding was seen, and the newly arrived settlers named these places to commemorate – or to warn of – the event."

"These objects appeared at about 10:05 pm, and stayed together for about 15 minutes. Suddenly, there was a loud pop like a firecracker and the spheres broke apart. The large object with the orange/yellow light broke in two and fell straight toward the ground. One of the smaller objects shot off to the right in a straight line until it eventually disappeared."

| location: somewhere in Fond du Lac County |
An unexplained phenomena haunts a farm family.
"Suddenly I remembered all I had heard about the Night Rider. This must be it. I meant not to let it scare me the way it had scared everyone else. Then I heard woeful wailing like unnumbered souls in agonizing torment; faint at first, but rapidly becoming louder and closer along with the other noise, now roaring and crashing. The tumult was above and all around me."
