About the author
Linda S. Godfrey is an American journalist and author best known for her writing on cryptid sightings and unexplained phenomena in the American Midwest, particularly her reporting on the Beast of Bray Road, a werewolf-like creature reportedly seen in Wisconsin, which she first covered as a newspaper journalist before expanding it into a series of books. Monsters of Wisconsin, published by Stackpole Books, catalogues that and other regional cryptids, including reports of Sasquatch, lake serpents, and other unusual creatures said to inhabit the state. Haunted Wisconsin, from Globe Pequot, turns to more conventional ghost lore, covering reputedly haunted sites and figures such as Lotta Morgan across the state. Godfrey's work generally treats these reports as folklore and firsthand testimony worth documenting rather than as settled fact, and her books are aimed at readers interested in regional cryptozoology and ghost lore.
