How Wisconsin shaped a horror legend

Robert Bloch was a familiar name to me. I had read some of his horror stories, I knew he was the author of “Psycho,” and I’d seen the Alfred Hitchcock movie based on it.

The Deadliest Wildfire in American History

On October 8, 1871, a devastating wildfire swept through northeastern Wisconsin—so devastating, in fact, that the disaster remains the deadliest wildfire in American history. It would later be known as the Peshtigo Fire, with a death toll ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 fatalities. Even with these jarring numbers, the tragedy is largely overshadowed by another event that occurred on the very same night : the Great Chicago Fire. The destruction unfolding around Peshtigo, however, was considerably deadlier. Within hours, homes, businesses, and vast stretches of forest had been consumed, leaving survivors struggling to comprehend what had happened. More than 150 years later, the catastrophe remains a disturbing example of how dangerous wildfires can truly get. A Disaster Years in the Making But how did such a deadly fire even erupt in Peshtigo? The story actually starts way back: long before the fire, Peshtigo had developed into a prosperous lumber town. Sawmills, woodworking factories, and railroad operations supported the local economy. However, it's not difficult to see that these industries also created dangerous conditions —case in point, that it would eventually lead to the most horrific fire in American history. It, of course, didn't help either that northeastern Wisconsin was experiencing

8 Northwoods Wisconsin Lakes Where Loons Sing At Sunset

A common loon can’t really walk on land. Its legs sit so far back on its body that it mostly shuffles, which is why nests sit right at the water’s edge. In the water, though, a loon is a superstar. It can dive deep for fish and stay under long enough to make you wonder where it went.
