What did Mr. Cady and Mr. Peterson encounter that day on the 23rd of March, 1887, was it truly a ghost as they believed? Could it really have been the spiritual echo of an old French logger from back in the day who died nearly a century before? Or could this have been a perfect storm of random occurrences that made a run of the mill encounter between strangers ultimately seem supernatural?

Way back in the 1800s and well into the early 1900s, Wisconsin offered some of the nations best lakeside resorts outside of those on the coasts. Many historically recognized families of wealth and power, as well as many infamous mobsters and crime bosses, flocked to Wisconsin in order to relax, fish, swim, camp, hunt, and of course, spot a lake monster or two. You know, the typical stuff one does while on a vacation.

In 1904, in a community located halfway between the towns of Warrens and Scott, both of which are located within Monroe County, WI, an abandoned farmhouse began to exhibit multiple forms of strange phenomena.
Some residents in the area reported seeing odd lights emanating through the broken windows late at night, while others claim to have heard spine-tingling sounds echoing throughout the empty dwelling. Some even went as far as to state that upon investigating the bizarre lights and sounds, they had witnessed the nearly full human form of a ghostly woman running through the home.

“…that famous “sea serpent” has bobbed up in Lake Michigan. ‘We were about four miles off shore,’ said Capt. G.E. Stufflebeam of the S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, Friday night, ‘when Donald Steele, the lookout saw it.’ ‘I ordered two floodlights thrown on the creature, and there he was wriggling and twisting around and going faster than the ship. We kept it in sight for five minutes. The passengers on deck cried out, ‘what is it,’ but I didn’t know nor did H.J. Cook, former steamship line official who was with me. ‘It flipped its tail and the creature - about 60 feet long - started toward Benton Harbor, Mich.’ That’s Captain Stufflebeam’s story and he said he’ll stick to it…”

Spotted roughly a mile away from the farm, one of the men spotted what appeared to be the back of a large creature slowly moving through the water. Immediately recognizing that what he was witnessing was not a normal animal, the lone gunman shouted for every available man to hurry towards his location. With rifles loaded and aim taken, several men fired multiple shots at the creatures back as it moved slowly through the water. Yet after the smoke had cleared, it was apparent that none of the shots had managed to pierce the thick skin of the creature. What it did do though, was cause the large creature to change direction and move slowly towards the bank of the river. The same bank in which they were all standing.

What if everything we know about the Mastodon was true just up until the end when it is believed to have gone extinct? Would people be able to accept that? Maybe they didn’t go extinct nearly 110 centuries ago as scientists believe. Maybe they changed with the times and kept on evolving to bypass their fate. Is it possible that they were able to change so much, that they literally slipped into the cracks of our world and disappeared into the unknown?

“…There within the darkness of the lake was a bright green light, moving slowly and spreading out nearly thirty feet in diameter. While the sight was both beautiful and mesmerizing to most of the men, causing them to rise and move as close to the water as possible, one of the members in the group remembered stories he had heard told by the tribes living around the lake. The ones about a powerful creature living within the water, a creature that could easily snatch unsuspecting men right from the shore and drag them down to the bottom in order to consume them…”

As they progressed farther into the sea of trees, completely alone and miles away from any area of habitation, Bert caught sight of an odd-looking spot beneath a lone hemlock tree in the middle of nowhere. Unknown to them at the time, this spot which they had come across and noticed completely by chance, would soon be responsible for a mystery neither of them saw coming.

“…As the rider charged his horse forward, the doctor watched as he raised a rifle high in the air and swung it forward like a club. A large pumpkin, speared through the center by the barrel, smashed into the doctor’s head and knocked him from his horse. He fell to the ground with a hard thud and landed in the dirt. With his head pounding and his eyes beginning to gloss over, he recognized that he was starting to lose consciousness….”
