Haunted Chippewa Valley

by Devon Bell

The Chippewa Valley is nestled snugly in a vast tract of Wisconsin farmland that offered early settlers a secure place to settle into the American dream. But the valley also harbors a strange and sometimes confusing past. From the boisterous activity of the lumber boom to the lingering stillness of the Eau Claire Asylum, this northwestern corner of the Badger State is filled with tragic stories and tall tales. Cast off with the ghost ferries of Caryville or stand vigil in the small, secluded cemetery where the spirits of children come out to play. Join Devon Bell on a journey into the eerie history of the Chippewa Valley.

The book haunted chippewa valley is a book made by devon bell that talks about the history and hauntingness of various locations around the chippewa valley. I really like this book because it goes very into depth with the locations and what happened there. It also talks about how it is haunted too. I also like that she has gone to all of the places so she can go even more in depth. Also i have been to or live by some of these locations so it is very easy to relate to the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes history and haunted stuff or if you live in the chippewa valley.

Some of the places in here i'd like to go see, others not so much. The good thing is all of them are very close to where I live. I might have to just go check them out when I have time.
