Hello Readers,
Throughout Wisconsin there are many haunted roads. Some of the more famous and well known ones include: E. Oakwood Rd., Fitzsimmons Rd., and Weary Rd.. Both Oakwood and Fitzsimmons roads are located in Oak Creek, near Bender Park (also haunted).
Weary Road, located in Evansville, WI, is known to be one of the most haunted places in the whole state of Wisconsin. There are many stories about this stretch of road. Many involve people drowning in the river. It is not known whether or not these stories are all true, or all stem from the same story, or if ANY of them are true. One of the drowning stories is that a kid was car surfing along this road, and flew off of the car, over the bridge and into the river. Another story is that a person was canoeing and drowned.
One of the more "folklore" stories is of Old Man Weary. Old Man Weary liked to entertain children at his house. This odd hobby led to the idea of him being a pedophile. This idea was then perpetuated by the parents and townspeople. They went to his house one day and set it on fire. The house burned to the ground, but the only problem was is that there were some children in the house, all killed along with Old Man Weary. It is said that if you go there three (3) times, that the third time you will see phantom cars, a phantom motorcycle, Old Man Weary himself, and you can hear the cries of the children.
Now, Oakwood and Fitzsimmons roads are both supposedly haunted. The story behind these are that they were used as drag strips between the 1930s-50s. Both of these roads ended right on the cliffs that led into Lake Michigan, 200 feet below. The racers would be going so fast, by the time they "won" it would be too late, and they would plummet to their death 200 feet below in Lake Michigan. The racers that raced here often said, "The only way to win, is to drive off the cliff, and die!"
We did have the opportunity to investigate Oakwood Rd. somewhat, but not enough to make any conclusions. After further research and analysis, we will post our findings on here.
Thank You,

Well it's unfortunate that you have no comments here about fitzsimons in oakwood road but I'm going to let you guys know about a little story that happened with my girlfriend and I approximately 2 years ago in summertime. So we went back there to just check it out cuz we heard about all the stories about it being haunted. So anyways as when we walk East we heard some shuffling in the woods as if there was some sort of creature or something stalking us but staying hidden. So we got a very eerie feeling about the whole situation so we started to walk back West and get the hell out of there we decided to stop for a second and look back to the east towards the very East end of oakwood and we saw the strangest thing to this day we cannot make any sense of. We had observed an animal approximately as big as a human maybe bigger that was all black and had the appearance and walking characteristics of a hyena walking from north to south basically jetting from left to right AKA north to south on oakwood road right by the cliff. We both seen it we had no idea what in the hell it was and to this day I have not read anything about anyone else seeing some sort of creature like that and Bender Park but we both seen it and to this day it's still freaks us out! So that's our story if there's anyone else out there to see anything like this such please be in contact with me you contact me at mark 11:07-1979@gmail.com with no punctuation in between it's just mark 11779@gmail.com or you can call me at 414-803-9579 I would like to hear anybody story because to this day that freaks us both out thanks and have a great day!
