In 1980, UW-River Falls journalism professor Mike Norman and a fellow writer wanted to write a non-fiction book, but didn't have a subject. Norman got an idea: Let's research and report Wisconsin ghost, haunted and other paranormal stories. To Norman's surprise, Haunted Wisconsin -- with a third edition due out this fall -- became so popular a publisher asked for more books. Books focusing on similar stories throughout the Midwest, and one specifically on Minnesota, followed. In a Wisconsin in Words interview on July 28 in his River Falls home, the retired journalism professor talked about his surprise at the popularity of the books, one of which was reprinted in Japanese. He also talked about the one incident in his own life that most personally unnerved him. But Norman also said, although it's been fun, he's done writing those books.

From the grave of John Heisman (famous football player and namesake of the Heisman Football Trophy) in Rhinelander, to the beer brewing royalty buried in Milwaukee's Forest Home Cemetery, McCann paints a facinating and historical picture of our state, as told through our deceased.

Part bibliographic mystery and part social history, "Out of the Northwoods" explains for the first time why we all know and love Paul Bunyan.
