The city of Madison is no stranger to odd goings-on and events that just dont add up. Plunge into murky waters in search of the Lake Mendota monster or briefly part the clouds of the Great Airship Mystery of 1897, which was witnessed by such credible sources as Wisconsin judges, good church-going folk and those not predisposed to drink whiskey. Please dont stare for too long at Myrtle Downings shoes, which were said to be made from human skin. Revisit some of the murders that earned the intersection of Murray Street and Desmond Court the epithet Deaths Corner. And that is just a portion of the unsolved crimes, strange creatures and bizarre happenstance that make up Mysterious Madison.
