Monsters of the Midwest : [true tales of Bigfoot, werewolves, and other legendary creatures] / Jessica Freeburg & Natalie Fowler.
"A mysterious snake that grew to frightening proportions; a slimy, clawed, green-scaled beast that terrorized swimmers from the bottom of a lake; two enormous birds that tried to prey upon farm animals--and children; the Midwest's history includes several unimaginable encounters with legendary creatures. This collection of "ghost stories" presents the freakiest, most surprising tales of monsters in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin! Authors Jessica Freeburg and Natalie Fowler are active paranormal investigators with a shared fascination for things that go bump in the night. The professional writers spent countless hours combing the region for the strangest and scariest run-ins with the unexplained. Horror fans will delight in these 23 terrifying tales. They're based on reportedly true accounts, proving that the Midwest is the setting for some of the most unsettling monster tales ever told. The short stories are ideal for quick reading, and they are sure to captivate even the most reluctant of readers. Share them with friends around a campfire, or try them alone at home--if you dare."
