Mysterious Madison: Unsolved Crimes, Strange Creatures & Bizarre Happenstance

The city of Madison is no stranger to odd goings-on and events that just don't add up. Plunge into murky waters in search of the Lake Mendota monster or briefly part the clouds of the Great Airship Mystery of 1897, which was witnessed by such credible sources as 'Wisconsin judges, good church-going folk and those not predisposed to drink whiskey.' Please don't stare for too long at Myrtle Downing's shoes, which were said to be made from human skin. Revisit some of the murders that earned the intersection of Murray Street and Desmond Court the epithet 'Death's Corner.' And that is just a portion of the unsolved crimes, strange creatures and bizarre happenstance that make up Mysterious Madison.
