A Strange Hike Near Hartford, Wisconsin
/0 Comments/in Blog /by J. Nathan CouchLast Sunday I was hiking the Ice Age Trail near Hartford, when I found these peculiar marks on a tree limb. This area has a history of strange creature sightings ranging from Goatman, Bigfoot, and canine/bruin hybrids. The second photograph shows how high in the tree the markings are.

The Next Book
/0 Comments/in Blog /by J. Nathan CouchI write books about monsters. I lead walking tours past, and occasionally into, locations said to be haunted.

Centaurs were liminal beings from ancient Greek mythology that were most often depicted as […]
Goatman: Flesh or Folklore? a Critical Success
/0 Comments/in Blog /by J. Nathan CouchThough Thanksgiving already seems like a distant memory in the midst of this Arctic-like Wisconsin January, I believe I’d be remiss if I didn’t publicly state how thankful I am that Goatman: Flesh or Folklore? has thus far been a critical success. I was a nervous wreck immediately following the publication of Goatman on October 07, 2014. My one […]
