Wisconsin Deep Lore

Wisconsin's most well-known cryptid is also well-known to be a fraud and a hoax. But was it really? If we take a look back through the original account of the hodag and its capture, and take a look at context of the lumberjack culture in which the tale originated, we can conclusively show that this story was not be a hoax at all! This is the tale of the hodag, as relayed by Gene Shepard. And as absurd as his story may have been, the one thing it ain't is a hoax!

The Lore of the Great State of Wisconsin is deep and vast. Among its annals is the tale of the Great Milwaukee Bridge War, the Third Most Ludicrous Conflict in Wisconsinite History. With it, comes the tale of three men, a tale of spiteful rivalry, local politics, and senseless rioting. But above all else, it is a tale of bridges. The Ancient Order of the Reveeting Society is a fellowship based in Doveland, Wisconsin, dedicated to the preservation and proliferation of Wisconsin Deep Lore. We hope you enjoy this tale of Wisconsin.
