Where are you most likely to see ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs and even sea monsters in Wisconsin and Minnesota? I’ll offer up some of those haunted trails during a presentation on Thursday, Oct. 23, at Chapter2Books in Hudson, Wis.

Trail recommendations will be drawn from my recent books, “Hittin’ the Trail: Day Hiking the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway” and “Headin’ to the Cabin: Day Hiking Trails of Northwest Wisconsin” and his blog “Hikes with Tykes.”

Based on actual reports, the trails include such spooky phenomena as:
g Hell hounds and a girl’s spirit in a Dunn County, Wis., swamp
g A human-eating demon in a northern Minnesota forest
g UFOs that visit an ancient meteor crater in Pierce County, Wis.
g Bigfoot sightings spanning a quarter century in a woodlands stretching across Minnesota and Wisconsin
g Sea monsters that lurk in Lake Pepin
g A trail atop an alleged secret UFO base in southern Wisconsin

The presentation, “Haunted Hikes,” runs 7-8 p.m. Chapter2Books is located at 226 Locust St. in downtown Hudson.
