About the author
Sherry Strub writes regional ghost-story books about Wisconsin, published by Schiffer Publishing. Wisconsin's Ghosts (2009) collects myths, legends, and reported hauntings from sites across the state, including a Rochester restaurant where diners describe food disappearing and stove burners switching on and off, and schools said to have desk-throwing spirits. Ghosts of Madison, Wisconsin (2008) narrows the same approach to the state capital, covering reported sightings along local roads and at the University of Wisconsin. Both books follow the format common to Schiffer's regional ghost-story line: short, place-based accounts organized by location, aimed at readers with an interest in Wisconsin local history and folklore rather than paranormal theory or investigation methodology. Strub's two titles function as companion volumes, one statewide and one city-focused, covering related material with some overlap in tone and structure.
