      This website was sent to me a couple months ago – I thought it was pretty cool, but I forgot all about it until I read this thread.

      It has a pretty cool search feature that you might find useful in tracking down the weird stuff Wisconsin has to offer.

        Thanks, Van’s Clan.

        Now that is interesting.

        Looks like this one GC1H56Q made the list under “Historical oddity / event”.

        Well how about that!

          A GREAT site and one I could have used for my Phenomenal Series. I might just have to work up a few more based on this site. Sure are a lot of “sightings” around here…

            I am beyond thrilled…..I picked up my own copy of Strange Wisconsin yesterday. In 2006, two men encountered a “man bat” not far from here, in the river bottoms area of Brice Prairie.

            The Bat Boy LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            My guilty pleasure is the Weekly World News, especially if the Bat Boy makes the cover. I would LOVE to have a job writing that stuff!

              I’m glad to hear that the “bat boy” has lived and grown up.

                I got Babe The Blue Ox in Lakewood if you want to go from this site. I know this location is also mentioned in Weird Wisconsin.

                The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.

                Where's George? Stimulating the economy one EMS'ed dollar at a time.

                  That’s the highway location of M Schettle whose main location hosts Zuma’s Hardware Store on the Yellowstone Trail. That place is the Motherload of all make and manner “americana” statuary and what makes up half of your oddity list.

                  I have been thinking about getting permission to place a Travel Bug Hotel at the Pink Flamingo location using one of their small arboretums. It could hold hundreds of TB’s and such and would probably fit right in. The grounds at the main location is not quite big enough for 2 caches.
