Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Southwest Wisconsin
Speaker: There's a small town called...
Speaker: Ridgeway.
Speaker: That is about 600 people that call home. Well...
Speaker: about 600 living people
Speaker: That is, but there is one resident.
Speaker: in the Ridgeway.

Speaker: 151.
Speaker: Between Dodgeville...
Speaker: and Blue Mounds, Wisconsin.
Speaker: Bye.
Speaker: It's roughly 20 miles, 20 miles stretch of road line.
Speaker: primarily by farmland bridgeway
Speaker: When it was founded, it was pretty much an immigrant paradise. You had the Welsh coming in off the...
Speaker: you know coming off the uh ocean then you got the welch coming in
Speaker: You got Norwegians and you got German settlers that came in the area about mid -1800s.
Speaker: it's
Speaker: and founded the village of Ridgeway.
Speaker: around the same time that ghost sightings began no records were kept
Speaker: of the encounters
Speaker: The stories were passed down from generation to generation.
Speaker: the entire area
Speaker: of southwestern wisconsin
Speaker: had a population explosion in the east with about 10 000 immigrants coming every year to work
Speaker: in the lead mines many try to make it their new home as you might imagine it was a wild place with lots
Speaker: of wilderness strangers saloons gambling
Speaker: Drinking fights knifings.
Speaker: and of course shootings happen daily in the law
Speaker: was so understaffed and so slow to respond and if
Speaker: they responded at all. Unmade?
Speaker: First 1913
Speaker: a fire swept through the downtown area of ridgeway and high winds quickly spread it it burned through most of the buildings downtown including the post office the bank the lumber yard and even the train depot
Speaker: which was built in 1883 in
Speaker: 2022, it was mounted that...
Speaker: The cost was about $3 million in damage debt.
Speaker: the fire did. The Ridgeway Fire Department was established sometime in 1913.
Speaker: you
Speaker: by the way according to some
Speaker: the ghost moved out
Speaker: out of town after the fire sightings of the ridgeway ghost
Speaker: according to some folklore
Speaker: The ghost can change its shape at wills.
Speaker: of it.
Speaker: significantly varied including
Speaker: the following
Speaker: a man with a whip a dog a sheep
Speaker: a pig, a horse, a bow of fire,
Speaker: and, of course, endless horsemen.
Speaker: A young woman.
Speaker: And a old woman.
Speaker: and more supposedly no matter the shape the ghost appears from nothing
Speaker: attacks a person often travelers then disappears some reports claim
Speaker: that the ghostly activity
Speaker: increases every 40 years.
Speaker: starting in the 1850s.
Speaker: one of the first folktales
Speaker: is that of Dr.
Speaker: coulter from the new york times printed in 1902 which details his story
Speaker: Dr. Coulter saw the ghost three times in his life.
Speaker: The third time.
Speaker: killed him
Speaker: from Fright the same article
Speaker: was the tale of John Lewis, who encountered the giant dark figure on his way home.
Speaker: from helping a friend butcher animals. John Lewis
Speaker: attacked the strange figure with the knife and was found.
Speaker: semi -conscious
Speaker: The following day he said he had been picked up in the air and tossed around.
Speaker: describing as somewhat familiar
Speaker: to a tornado
Speaker: john lewis
Speaker: died a few hours later after relaying the incident
Speaker: the w files or pretty much the wisconsin's affiliate of the x files had an entire page about the
Speaker: bridgeway ghost everything from ghostly hands playing poker
Speaker: to a giant
Speaker: vanishing pigs that gave a farmer such a fright they became sick then died
Speaker: This farmer's story shares similar.
Speaker: to john lewis's story
Speaker: and as told the new york times article of the w files tells all readers that they had from local storytellers that they are pretty entertainment
Speaker: display
Speaker: for being short on variable
Speaker: details charles z brown a director of wisconsin folklore society wrote a four -page collection in 1943
Speaker: stories about the Ridgeway ghost is worth a read and like most things in history
Speaker: There are similarities to the more modern tales he told.
Speaker: if you noticed his name
Speaker: And so...
Speaker: So close to Charlie Brown from the Phoenix comic.
Speaker: Congratulations on your sharp eye.
Speaker: I was a bit suspicious and wondered if the entire thing was made up.
Speaker: But given that Charles E. Brown.
Speaker: of Wisconsin Folklore Society.
Speaker: wrote it quite a lot
Speaker: it's safe to say
Speaker: that the similarities in names
Speaker: are likely to be just a coincidence the origin of the ridgeway ghost there's a few uh
Speaker: stories that
Speaker: That, um...
Speaker: Roll around. One is the Teenaged Brothers in McPhilp's Saloon.
Speaker: in eighteen forty two brothers
Speaker: ages fourteen and fifteen were murdered the motivation
Speaker: was unclear one of the brothers
Speaker: was tossed into a fireplace.
Speaker: where he was burned to death.
Speaker: the other brother
Speaker: froze to death.
Speaker: as he attempted to run away from town. Somehow...
Speaker: from these deaths arose
Speaker: The Ridgeway Ghost. The other one...
Speaker: The Marlboro.
Speaker: Sometime around 1840, a barbara in the village resulted in murder of a man.
Speaker: there isn't a lot of details here
Speaker: but there were plenty of saloons where it was
Speaker: Reasonable.
Speaker: for some
Speaker: I assume bros broke out and people were killed.
Speaker: as it turned out to be one of them to be an aggressive ghost through it as anyone's guess and uh of course the uh newer
Speaker: a times article
Speaker: And somebody just put in there, it was just made up.
Speaker: There was some stories from locals said the entire thing was just...
Speaker: might have been
Speaker: made up in 18...
Speaker: Please.
Speaker: To scare the troublemakers out of town.
Speaker: like the other origins we i cannot verify this and here's some articles i found um this is from the village of uh
Speaker: I need to do it.
Speaker: from 1840 to 1845 ghost or spook
Speaker: was supposed to have been seen along the military road no record has been kept in the stories a few been handed down from generation to generation the ridgeway ghost stories
Speaker: our interest today and will be in the future as one of the most unique and historic legends
Speaker: of the state of wisconsin historically the ghost came from
Speaker: being from...
Speaker: the following facts southwestern wisconsin
Speaker: roughly populated between 1832 to 1845.
Speaker: with the development of lead mines.
Speaker: Thank you.
Speaker: immigrant miners at the Cornish, the Welsh, the Irish, the Germans, at a rate of 10 ,000.
Speaker: people per year to dig up the fortunes
Speaker: in the ground.
Speaker: To live in the new land. Fox teams.
Speaker: were the main source of transportation.
Speaker: and the trip to Galena, Illinois required five days. Along the wilderness, hotels, post offices, and groceries, saloons, and stores spring up every three to four miles.
Speaker: where teams would feed and water their travelers could rest the area was home to some undesirable characters always lurked for every easy money mines dotted the countryside and nights were spent in the saloons with gambling and drinking
Speaker: knife fights
Speaker: and shootings were a daily occurrence local justice was slowing
Speaker: And we've been...
Speaker: was the main punishment.
Speaker: The ghost made an appearance.
Speaker: at the Simpson's Saloon in 1840.
Speaker: a peddler stopped at the saloon and was never seen again his horse saddled and bridled
Speaker: would try to remain or to gain entrance and cannot
Speaker: be driven away many stores like this one or a famous ridgeway
Speaker: Some were pranks. Some were imaginations.
Speaker: And somewhere, some really say they could not explain.
Speaker: come to ridgeway wisconsin halloween and during the labor day celebration
Speaker: And you could see the ghosts. And there's one that I found.
Speaker: It's an old article here. The stories that presented have a story.

Speaker: along the dusty road he knows that
Speaker: he was beginning to be followed by someone.
Speaker: Taking a good look at the hazy person, the watchman decided it was the Ridway ghost. He had quickened his pace. The apparition did likewise, always keeping up the same distance behind him.
Speaker: The Welshman, determined to lose this evil phantom,
Speaker: broke into a dog truck
Speaker: And the ghost did the same.
Speaker: the welshman now became downright terrified and began to run
Speaker: faster and faster it's right
Speaker: Freighton.
Speaker: Wash Moon
Speaker: You travel mighty fast.
Speaker: He ran so hard that he soon was out of breath. Finding a log by the side of the road,
Speaker: He sat down to rest on its far end.
Speaker: The ghost running close behind them now came up.
Speaker: and sat on the other side of the wall.
Speaker: It was one of the few times then the ghost uttered a word.
Speaker: He said,
Speaker: That was...
Speaker: Some good running that you did and that you were doing. A Welsh farmer living near Ridgeway.
Speaker: went to his palm
Speaker: What do you mean to get two pills of water?

Speaker: But the doctor declared he was a...
Speaker: that he was sober. You recall that the effect the year previous where he really...
Speaker: was a little...
Speaker: a little full bulb
Speaker: passing the self -same haunted spot he had often
Speaker: became aware of the dark and silent stranger sitting able to see him in carnage at the carnage.
Speaker: for a while
Speaker: The stranger rode without...
Speaker: saying a word and withal all at once he was gone at the time of the doctor had asked no question of his drinking wits
Speaker: had considered it of a strange experience and nothing more he was now convinced that the man beside him and the
Speaker: hearing on the end of the uh pole were no one and the same and that he had gone he had done none of this
Speaker: in the world
Speaker: Therefore, the people laughed.

Speaker: John Lewis.
Speaker: Father Ian.
Speaker: Evan Lewis, a champion wrestler.
Speaker: of the United States known to
Speaker: sports everywhere.
Speaker: is...
Speaker: preposterous farmer living in the
Speaker: the city of ridgeway a man of sober life and undaunted courage and position
Speaker: to have on the tremendous
Speaker: physical strings
Speaker: As...
Speaker: his son was inherited.
Speaker: He was returning home one fall evening after spending the day
Speaker: The night was not dark and went to Saul.
Speaker: near the the harmless spot
Speaker: he determined to cut across the lots in which he was home
Speaker: He was approaching the stone wall at the roadside to climb it.
Speaker: when his attention was
Speaker: arrested by the...
Speaker: outside of the figure that it seemed to have
Speaker: gathered
Speaker: itself together.

Speaker: he had no enemy and the highwaymen were unknown and that retired
Speaker: were unknown in that
Speaker: retired quarter of the state.
Speaker: He just said that someone must have tried to...
Speaker: I have 15 of them.
Speaker: And so held the finger and no reasons began to give the advice upon it.
Speaker: figure did not
Speaker: bulge but
Speaker: Stood.
Speaker: the towering shape of a black man
Speaker: businessman shape of the blackness of the gigantic and grizzly thing some remarkable and eyeing at the county of the following following may lewis decide to avoid the conflict and drawing the and drawing the butcher's knife by then
Speaker: he started to pass by
Speaker: when he figured resting was a formula

Speaker: next report in the
Speaker: the singer was found lewis lying near the side of the wall in a semi -conscious condition what that happened after he had struck his knife and we said the best value impressions
Speaker: he said he'd been hurled in the air as by a vortex of a cyclone pounded a crushed insatiability he died a few hours later after he carried some
Speaker: adverting with
Speaker: his dying breath that he had come to see his end
Speaker: by supernatural urgency.
Speaker: and thus did the death of John Lewis make the first vindication of the
Speaker: at retribution of Dr. Coulter.
Speaker: and the suffering caused.
Speaker: but a second and third time
Speaker: was the doctor to be vindicated a dreamster
Speaker: all right i'm sorry i just make it
Speaker: i encountered the ghost he had pursued by someone
Speaker: Just to my conclusion, the ghost is prescribed by its son after he died. The shocks accused by the intense, frightened at the sense of Dr. Coulter himself, needed almost...
Speaker: for the third time see himself seeking the ghost a third time finally had
Speaker: triumphantly vindicated his word
Speaker: through those
Speaker: cost of zone for the drain of the salt
Speaker: of the night
Speaker: What?
Speaker: had been the
Speaker: the third church or third
Speaker: a third of the victims that the impossible specter to have

Speaker: Since the times the ghosts have seen the number of three, seen by the importance of the way he learned,
Speaker: situations and stop.
Speaker: uh stop recall
Speaker: See the insights in the company, which he had.
Speaker: they had thirsty the company whoever who never that saw they saw it
Speaker: they're offered
Speaker: they offer no attempt at the
Speaker: expert explanation
Speaker: They saw it, they believe it, the same natural causes. They could explain the apparition.
Speaker: Yet so far as their eyes could have gave them information, they saw a ghost. What are these ghosts? What explanation Ken offered?
Speaker: the writer
Speaker: confesses
Speaker: He is unconvinced.
Speaker: yet as personal acquaintances with the persons who claim to have seen them.
Speaker: with the cloudy men on
Speaker: on one hand university bread authentics on the other the calling of the for our former eye
Speaker: to survey them from LIAN.
Speaker: even told one belief of
Speaker: Press the tone.
Speaker: to believe the several of the laws of the nature the nature as explained by
Speaker: significant
Speaker: the latter had no redemption
Speaker: to the fact they were to judgment
Speaker: so you see there are
Speaker: some evidence possessed that can render you your own verdict.
