The W-Files: True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena in Wisconsin

“The W-Files: True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena in Wisconsin” is a book written by Jay Rath and published in 1997. The book compiles a variety of reports and accounts of strange and unexplained events that have occurred in the state of Wisconsin, ranging from UFO sightings and encounters with Bigfoot-like creatures to mysterious disappearances and ghostly apparitions.

One of the key claims made in the book is that Wisconsin is a hotspot for paranormal and unexplained phenomena. The author presents numerous accounts from eyewitnesses and researchers who claim to have encountered strange and otherworldly beings, experienced unexplainable phenomena, and witnessed events that defy conventional explanation. The book argues that these incidents are not isolated or random, but rather part of a larger pattern of unexplained occurrences in the state.

Some of the key topics covered in the book include:

1. UFO sightings: The W-Files includes numerous accounts of UFO sightings and encounters with extraterrestrial beings in Wisconsin. Many of these reports describe strange lights in the sky, unusual aerial maneuvers, and encounters with otherworldly entities.
2. Cryptids and strange creatures: The book also looks into reports of strange and unusual creatures in Wisconsin, including Bigfoot-like creatures, mysterious black panthers, and other unknown animals.
3. Paranormal activity: The W-Files includes accounts of ghostly apparitions, poltergeist activity, and other unexplained phenomena in Wisconsin, as well as investigations by paranormal researchers and investigators.
4. Mysterious disappearances: The book also explores cases of unexplained disappearances and mysterious deaths in Wisconsin, including the disappearance of a young woman named Evelyn Hartley and the unsolved murder of a man named Thomas Niesen.

The author of the book, Jay Rath, is a journalist and author who has written extensively about the paranormal and unexplained phenomena. Rath conducted extensive research and interviews with eyewitnesses and experts in the field of ufology, cryptozoology, and paranormal investigation to compile the accounts included in the book.

The “Mysterious Wisconsin” by Paul L. Arvidson and “Weird Wisconsin” by Linda S. Godfrey both reference and draw on the accounts included in “The W-Files” as part of their broader investigations into unexplained phenomena in the state.
