"As I stepped back to get a better look the rustling bushes shot twenty feet in the air accompanied by a loud crack. Where upon the top of a birch tree that had been pulled down and shaken fell to the shoulder of the road within a few feet of me."

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."

"Ghosts of America" Haunted Location Reports

| location: STATEWIDE |
The reports on this site are presumably fiction, using random Wisconsin place names in the stories listed there. Even so, you might get a kick out of reading them.
"A woman having a sword in her head showed up strolling along a wild highway in the neighborhood of Grantsburg. The appearance of the eye witness startled the ghost who then vanished. Folks allege that this ghost gets pleasure from terrifying foolhardy folks who come trying to find ghosts in Grantsburg. Any which way, it's a terrifying ghost that you don't want to encounter very late at night."

"The head was conical in shape, and slightly furry looking. In silhouette, it looked like a guy with a really big head wearing a furry hood. The most striking things were its eyes, they were lightly glowing orange-red."

|
| location: Trade Lake
|
| One may wonder how the spectral monikers of Burnett County were earned. Not far from Spook Lake is the larger Spirit Lake and much farther north is Bogey Lake. Phantom Lake sprawls north of Grantsburg, and its Potawatomi Name is "Nish-ke-tash", which means "Lake of Mystery". This bears to mind an actual Mystery Lake, located near the eastern county border. |
|
Spook Road is just west of Trade Lake off of Highway 48.
Spook Lake lies to the east of Spook Road.
