Stories that linger...
There's something strange about Wisconsin. Maybe it's the dark pine forests that stretch for miles in the Northwoods or the forgotten roads that snake between small towns.
The old immigrant folklore that has carried across the Great Lakes that can be found whispered around campfires while roasting marshmallows, shared over old fashioneds at supper clubs with friends, or with your Grandma at her kitchen table.
The Weird Wisconsin Podcast explores the haunted, mysterious, and unexplained stories hiding across the Midwest. From ghost sightings and cryptids to strange disappearances, eerie local legends, and forgotten pieces of Wisconsin history.
Some stories are true, some feel impossible, and some have been passed down through generations.
But around here, the weird stories never really leave.

Why I created this podcast
When I was young, I remember hearing stories that stayed with me long after they were told. Stories about haunted cemeteries, strange roads, old legends, disappearances, and the kinds of mysteries people casually mention in small towns like everyone already knows them.
Maggie Olson
Host
One story in particular that stuck with me was from my Grandma Phyllis after I'd asked about a little girl in an old family photo. Her name is Stella. And all my Grandma would say is, "We don't talk about crazy Stella."
Stella was my great-great-aunt -- a woman who was adopted into the family, disappeared, changed her name, and left behind decades of unanswered questions and family stories.
I grew up along the Lake Michigan shoreline with family ties all over the state of Wisconsin. Living here surrounded me with folklore, history, and eerie stories passed down through generations. From the old cemetery in Glenbuehla and the old asylum in Sheboygan to cryptids and haunted backroads, I became fascinated by the way stories shape places and they way that certain mysteries, like Stella's story, linger.
The Weird Wisconsin Podcast was created to uncover those stories. Not just the famous ones. But the forgotten ones too.
