His first book, Driftless Spirits, focused on ghostly tales from around Southwestern Wisconsin. His latest publication, Gone Missing, explores both ancient legends and paranormal events. Audiences are enthralled with his tales of both regional and ethnic differences in Wisconsin folklore. Hear him recount a few of his favorite tales including his unlikely entree into the world of spooky stories.
