About this product

Product Information

Is it weird that the Wolverine State may never have had any wolverines in it? We think so, and that suits us fine. The weirder the better, we say, and Michigan falls perfectly into that category. Oh, sure, big-time heroes like Charles Lindbergh and Madonna hail from here, and so does President Gerald Ford, but do they compare to superhero Captain Jackson, who strolls around town in a purple cape doing good deeds? Well, yes, maybe they do, but the captain, in our opinion, is more representative of our fine state. Because, let's face it, Michigan has a great big quantity of . . . weirdness. That's how we were able to entice best-selling author Linda Godfrey to swim over from Wisconsin, grab a notebook, and track down all kinds of serious weirdness for you, Motown flowing through her headphones the whole time. Just turn the pages and see what she found. Read about the guru of toilet paper, the Devil's Soup Bowl, a bottle house and a bottle tower, our own Bigfoot, a pickle barrel house, the world's fastest cow, a fire breather and an eyeball smoker, the Outhouse Classic, UFOs of every size and shape, crop circles, and brown goo. Just don't, no matter how tired you are, even think about sitting in the Witch's Chair. It's a great state. Especially since we have lots of lake monsters and all our residents live no more than six miles from an inland lake--at least that's what our state's official Web site says. But Linda will take you way beyond what the governor's office will tell you--to say nothing of what your history teacher left out of the lesson plans. We think you'll agree that Weird Michigan , a brand-new entry in the best-selling Weird U.S. series, is a trip no self-respecting Michigander (or Michiganian, if you prefer--and that's pretty odd, don't you think?) would ever want to miss.

Fun, Light Reading for Locals
The Wierd Michigan book was written by a Michigander - but like many of the Michigan books and other resources, has a distinct bias toward the eastern (Detroit) side of the state. While there are also many references that Yoopers will appreciate, the majority of the items are Saginaw / Detroit and area. As an "outstate Troll" (Living out of Detroit but under the bridge" I was glad to see the Kalamazoo State Hospital stories, as well as the Bowers Harbor ghosts. All in all, a good quick read, and interesting. Unlike some other "Wierd" books (such as California), the focus is on history and ghosts, not roadside attraction, leaving it much less useful as a travel guide, and more useful as a local history tour.

Michigan's oddities
It's very compelling. The author knows how to captivate and enlighten their readers. I love reading about interesting facts and folklore of our country. It is also pretty neat to see places or things pictured in the book that you are aware of:)

Weird Michigan my thoughts
I bought Weird Michigan because I was born and raised in Michigan and had heard many tales about weird experiences of family members. I bought the book to see if any of their experiences were mentioned and some of them were. I enjoyed reading about the many weird happenings in my state and was happy to see that some of them are in my area and easily visited. The only disappointing thing about the book was that I know, from personal connection and experience, that some of the facts about one perticular incident are wrong and I wonder how many of the facts about other incidents are incorrect also. All in all, I found the book interesting and entertaining.
