Enjoy these excerpts from some of the states included in this book.

Here's a lake you'll want to avoid
Unless your desire is to die
Then by all means give it a whirl
I'll keep my feet here where it's dry

Deep in Sauk County, Wisconsin
Is an eerie, mist shrouded lake
It causes a bone chilling feel
That visitors say they can't take

----------

Out in the woods of Missouri
Witnesses have claimed to have seen
A beast unlike the shy Sasquatch
Momo is aggressive and mean

It has large, glowing, orange eyes
Somewhat of a pumpkin shaped head
Known as the Missouri Monster
And with it comes the stench of death

----------

New Hampshire hasn't a monster
But it seems to be plaqued by ghosts
About any town you visit
All the locals, they love to boast

In the city of Laconia
In the ancient streetcar factory
Disembodied voices can be heard
Footsteps pound but there's nothing to see

----------

Deep in the heart of Nebraska
May roam a most terrible beast
Known to Native Americans
As a killer to say the least

It's said to look like a 'gator'
But with some features quite unique
Like the huge horn between its eyes
It's said to measure forty feet

----------

A devil may be in hiding
Roaming out among the tall pine
Deep in Southeastern New Jersey
A creature that no one can find

Its origin isn't that clear
Some say it may have been a child
Not wanted by its own mother
At birth it became something vile

----------

Lake Champlain, New York is its home
A sea serpent is what some say
Resembles the Loch Ness monster
First spotted in Bulwagga Bay

Soon it gained notoriety
Some folks thought it should have a name
Since Lake Champlain was its playground
"CHAMP" would become its claim to fame

----------

Up in Northwestern Arkansas
Was spotted a lumbering beast
So very much like a Bigfoot
'Cept that it had much sharper teeth

So many stories have been told
And many descriptions differ
Of the Ape Man of Arkansas
Yet all of them makes one shiver

----------
