Description
A spooky history of the American Midwest -- from grave robbers to ghost sightings and more -- by the author of Creepy California . Most people think of the American Midwest as a place of wheat fields and family farms; cozy small towns and wholesome communities. But there's more to the story of America's Heartland -- a dark history of strange tales and unsettling facts hidden just beneath its quaint pastoral image. In Horror in the Heartland , historian Keven McQueen offers a guided tour of terrible crimes and eccentric characters; haunted houses and murder-suicides; mad doctors, body snatchers, and pranks gone comically -- and tragically -- wrong. From tales of the booming grave-robbing industry of late 19th-century Indiana to the story of a Michigan physician who left his estate to his pet monkeys, McQueen investigates a spooky and twisted side of Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Exploring burial customs, unexplained deaths, ghost stories, premature burials, bizarre murders, peculiar wills and much more, this creepy collection reveals the region's untold stories and offers intriguing, if sometimes macabre, insights into human nature.
