The Town's successive hardships occurred during a US recession. Not cursed, just a victim of the times, like other Towns during the era. Love the "Cursed" angle though. Explains the recurrence of recessions and inflation, like now.👍🏾 on point.
My mother in law grew up in Black River Falls during the Depression. She was the youngest of five siblings. Her father was a lumberjack. He left the family alone to go work during the winter. When he returned in the spring his wife was in bed with the five children. Three of them were dead from fever. His wife had lost her sanity from grief. She spent the rest of her life institutionalized. The two remaining kids were taken in by cousins.
My brother was mute and only spoke in whispers when he was young. He was normal until my father got mad at him and when they went on a walk in the woods left him there at age 4. When my dad came home alone my mom sent my brother out to find him. He was a different child after that. He finally got some help. He is on disability for social anxiety now. Better but not normal. Muteness can be caused by many things.
Plainfield Wisconsin also has dark history. The home of Ed Gein. He inspired Psycho, The Texas chainsaw massacre, and many other horror films. But like the town in the video. It's a very peaceful place now.
Hey I live here! Not born here but came here in 2017. I love it here. Great neighbors, coworkers, shop keepers, and such. Just one picky ordinance control officer. 😆 Good ATV trails. Lake Wazee it great! We will take all the small town publicity we can get. If they want to think we are haunted and cursed then fine come see for yourself 👍
Great video, I am from Black River falls, there is a lot of history in this town, some good, some bad, the flood of 1911 is still the worst thing that happened here, keep the videos coming, 😉👍
My mom had a great-grandmother that got buried alive. Her grandmother kept having a dream that she was still alive. Finally, in desperation they dug her up. All her fingernails on both hands were gone. Claw marks all over the inside of the lid of her coffin. Happened, somewhere in Wisconsin. Tried to claw her way out. Incredible.
Makes you think that any job that even seems uneventful can have great disasters if not completely done right. I'd rather be cremated and never wake up in a box
Ahhh BRF! I know that town all too well. I've installed cable in those apartments and the residents all had awesome Ghost stories. I grew up 30 miles south in Sparta WI and currently live in the heart of The Driftless Region..Viroqua. Great video!
I used to live in black river falls Wisconsin for three years and this the first time of hearing about this. Great history of black river falls Wisconsin.
I've had this book for years, it's always creeped me out to a weird level, fantastic link to the past you created here, thank you. I have the book in my lap now, I've subscribed.
Yeah, the book is a bit creepy while being interesting at the same time. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for subscribing! Hope to see more comments from you in the future.
Quaint and interesting little town. That mural on the side and back of the building is awesome! The town looks very well kept. You can see the pride of the residents.
I moved here 3 years ago & absolutely love it❤️ Karma New & Used is the antique shop with the murals. Dave the owner is very passionate about his shop. It's a wonderful place to live❤️
I have a BRF ghost story true and from 1978.Its too long and too scarey.I lived in a haunted apt. and I left abruptly after 2 1/2 months. SCARY!!!We called ourselves Ghostbusters.Before the movie!
I'm using Black River Falls as a setting for my horror story. lol While I've read up on some information about the town, this was also a helpful and nice video to watch. Thanks for sharing and showing the area. :)
I'm surprised you haven't gone over to Plainfield, just east of there. Has a dark history as well. It's where Ed Gein is from, you know the guy that inspired "Pyscho", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and Buffalo Bill in "Silance of the Lambs".
A fella from the falls came to osseo.one night,messed with my cousin an i.he ended up dead,in a role over crash in a. Water filled ditch.we were in a bar,my cousin had his Navy clothes, on,curcheif, this fella was ragging on him about the navy,he grabs both ends to his curcheif ,and pulled it tight around his neck,A fight persude,A 25 auto pistol fell out of my pocket,he went on ,bar hoppoing,we went home,I got a fine,for the gun,( we had been out target practiceing,and forgot it was in my jacket pocket) we went home went to bed,next morning my mom said that there had been a car accident, about 2 miles from our place,I sat up in bed suddenly, when she told me his name,it was the same guy we had the problem with,,but we had nothing to do with the accident, yet ,I knew ,it was him,some how,it still bothers me,jut some of the weird,odd,things that I have experienced in my 78+years on this earth,
The name of Black River Falls would draw me to explore the town. Strange and dark happenings there, Wow! The land was cursed is scary. Wow, a lot of things were happening there! Union Place Apartments is unque, and I can see it being a high school before. Wow the story of the two boys who murdered the farm owner is sad. Yikes the story of the guy killing himself wurh dynamite is crazy! The story of the mute boy is interesting 😮! Love the building with auto Mural is cool! The story of the woman buried alive is sad😢! Thanks for sharing!
It's all perspective. Black River Falls is where my grandparents retired in a cabin/log home that my grandpa built just outside of town. For me, it was a beautiful and magical place where I'd go fishing with my grandpa, get together at Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family, and have family reunions there. It's just the opposite of cursed for me. I was totally oblivious to the history of the town. The only curse is that the town has gotten too big and hardly resembles the place I knew from the '80s and '90s, but I guess I can say that about most places.
You should check out Whitewater Wis.....also known as the Salem of the west. Where in their library is a book so dangerous that it can never be checked out viewed because everyone who has went insane or committed suicide. There is also a down room that was at the intersection of three cemeteries and people who lived in that room meet with tragic endings
Headed back to BRF next month. We try to visit at least once a year. What gives me the true creeps is the local Lake Wazee. I could barely function in that location, I truly think it is haunted. I wish you'd stopped at the steam locomotive. It's now a static display, but was originally the "WOOFY' - Warren and Ouachita RR. It used to run at Mid-Continent RR Museum in North Freedom. Heart breaking to see it just sitting there.
@@Steve-318 Thanks, yes I know it was an Iron mine until the early 1980's.. It's now a favorite spot for scuba teams. Did you know it also has underwater cars and boats for them to explore, lol? Still, the place feels haunted to me ... gets me to the core. I didn't know it was deeper than Green Lake, now I really won't go near it, lol!
I also had a very odd, uneasy feeling when I was at Lake Wazee. I have had zero desire to go again. I didn't know anything about it's past until reading this comment so it confirms I had a strange feeling for a reason.
Enjoyed this one. I've heard and read about Black Rivers. When I was 12. I was shown a photo from 1898 of a mother, and her two year old child in a coffin. The coffin was in a living room of a house the two lived in. I was told they had been murdered by an intruder. It creeped me out then at 12, and it does when I think about the picture now a days.
Love your Videos. I'm in the Amberg- Wausaukee area. Have you seen the pickup truck up on top of a silo southwest of Crivitz? Not exactly sure of the roads name, but it's on the backroads west of Pound.
My uncle owns a good bit of farmland there. He's owned it for at least 30 years. He had never heard of the Wisconsin Death Trip until I told him about it in the early 2000s.
Oh I remember that Wisconsin Death Trip I’ve seen that book years ago! Didn’t Ed Gein live near there too? I’ve been to Black River Falls, gambled , & had lunch in a cool old tavern that used to have ladies of the evening upstairs back in the day! It was a cool place!
This video makes a lot of sense. I used to Scuba dive at Lake Wazee East of Black River Falls. For the most part visiting there is not a good experience. The town really has nothing to offer and my interaction with the locals has been somewhat off putting. I have traveled everywhere from Key West Florida to Grand Marais Minnesota, from New Jersey to Monterey California. I will never darken that towns door step ever again.
The band Static X debut album named after the book WI death trip created demand to put it back into print after being out of print for a long time. Glad to have seen the band b4 the release, and many times after... I even met them got to hang out with Tony bassist and marty friedman in mlk hooters as a 13 yr old. Curses, witchs, and superstitious ideas are the simple way to avoid deeper questions and lead to many innocent ppl being hurt. Life in general was dark and hard at these times. Having more business and wealth than most small towns probably caused much more drastic reactions when banks fell.
How come there was no mention of the Winnebago being sent to Nebraska and the Ho Chunks forming? Think it's possible there might be a little something to that bad luck medicine? Miss yah KarynYT. 😇❤😈
@SightseeingSally see what you can find out about Cameron. I've lived here for 60 years. Must be some history i don't know about. Stop by I'll buy you a beer. Lol
Yes that town is cursed...as the entire east side of st paul is...as many towns in iowa are.... because of the amount of native people slaughtered to get that land...so many of the areas by the body of waters were native burial grounds...they just built on top of them... never moved them... Indian mounds Park in st Paul had 100s of burial mounds all over the east side...now there's 4
You can feel the despair in this town. I also wanted to see if I see my car at all 🤣 Also this place is full of meth addicts. There is 1,000 people and 500 are on drugs
The book was also made into a movie of the same name. I don't think it's very easy to find, but it's worth the effort. It's very trippy and creepy as you might expect from watching this video. And if you like this, seek it out.
beautiful wedding venue in BRF called Burlap and Bells! Their rentable house has incredible on a bluff. You can see basically 180 degrees for miles and miles
@2:31. I went to see patients on that house up on the hill. It took forever and was choking full level of smoke. I do not miss being the insurance company Dr one bit. Also when 2 people have dementia and hearing loss it is just hard. You have to just get the gist and answer for them the best i can. Bc other people who really want and need my help suffer if I waste too much time on a people like that. Edit: I remember that day ended with a 9pm visit to a widower's house. Oh man, he needed help pretty bad. I was starving. Cant believe he waited so long for me.
I have enjoyed several but not every one of your sightseeing videos. Just a suggestion: your productions could benefit by also using a drone camera. The You Tube work of s/v Delos is a good example,
I was born & raised in Black River Falls & can confirm it’s cursed. Mother & I lived in a haunted house for 13 years in the grove, few blocks away from main st. Very beautiful area & much to offer. But the town possesses multiple active haunted houses/establishments/parks/murders/never ending suicides.. Perry Creek park is worth looking into & was a hot spot for teens to explore late at night & experience/see more than what we hoped for. WI Death Trip was shown to us in some classes in the BRF high school. I fled to Montana a few years ago & will not be returning to the Black Hole 🙏🏼👌🏼🤠
I live about 25 miles away, pretty nice toads for motorcycles all around the area. There is a pretty shady side to BRF, a certain population as gotten into hard drugs and the "fire water".
2:22 "G. Drinkwine, father of Miss Lillian Drinkwine, who commited suicide a few days ago, attempted suicide at Sparta. He swallowed a large quantity of cigar stubs." And then there's the bottom sign at 1:11 😳 Still, it seems like a nice town, I could live there. 😉👍 Thanks Sally! 🤠👍
This place was not cursed, Sally doesn't tell the whole story. Ppl were eating rye the was getting wet n it was making them go mad /tripping n dong things that they would never do. There is a book n a documentary on it that will explain everything.
I wonder if Static X, a rock band, took the title of Wisconsin Death Trip for their album. Great video! I am in WI, not far from Black River Falls. I love all the small towns in this area.
Black River Falls was served by the branch line of the former C&MO RR later UP RR until the final run of the branch line local freight that served the iron ore mine many years ago.
My husband temporarily moved there for a few months...as soon as he moved the dam broke and flooded the residence...I jokingly told him BRF was cursed .. May have been correct
I grew up here and it’s just like any other small town you come across. Everyone knows everyone and most of the people are friendly to visitors and tourists. The town just got a bad rap because of Wisconsin Death Trip.
In 1829, a doctor invented a safeguard gadget that enabled a person accidentally buried alive to ring for help. He rigged strong lengths of string attached with bell above-ground. And attached the other end around ankles/wrists of deceased in casket to sound an alarm.
It's a cool vibe, I'm sure you are a straight laced stroke😂, if you don't have something nice to say......your parents failed you and now you have no sense of self so you think you can comment on others
Sally, this is the second video of yours. So I subscribed. You remind me of another Channel I follow Wonderhussy you two are so similar in your narrative style. She even says wah wah when mentioning a regret or dissipointment😅 . Are you related.?😮
Sand pillow circle or something like that. It was the street I stayed on when I was little and the house was haunted as hell all I remember from black river falls is my parents had a Medicine man come to the house. We got sent to the park not to far from the house and I remember seeing like a hundred or so white birds come flying from the house. That experience and some creepy stuff I’ve seen in the house I will Remember forever
Wow what an interesting history of Black River Falls!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!
You’re so welcome!!! Probably wasn’t quite what you expected, eh?
Sometimes the unexpected is superior to the expected. @@SightseeingSally
I love the way you look in your glasses. Do your own thing.

Only real dangers in black river falls are the floods and drunk drivers.

When my dad came home alone my mom sent my brother out to find him. He was a different child after that. He finally got some help. He is on disability for social anxiety now. Better but not normal. Muteness can be caused by many things.
Your father should be in prison
what you think happened on that walk?
That's really a sad story. I can't imagine a 4 year old in the woods by themselves. 😢
That is just heartbreakingly cruel. I hope he got his karma.
Did the law get involved? That's awful
Plainfield Wisconsin also has dark history. The home of Ed Gein. He inspired Psycho, The Texas chainsaw massacre, and many other horror films. But like the town in the video. It's a very peaceful place now.
Right! And the jail they hid him in is Wautoma WI. That's a museum now. I live there.

Edit: I remember that day ended with a 9pm visit to a widower's house. Oh man, he needed help pretty bad. I was starving. Cant believe he waited so long for me.
Great video, Thanks.....
Being a resident of BRF I’m just surprised there isn’t footage of the many meth zombies that wander the town
I have enjoyed several but not every one of your sightseeing videos. Just a suggestion: your productions could benefit by also using a drone camera. The You Tube work of s/v Delos is a good example,
Awesome, thanks Sally !
Okay, the old high school was replaced by a new high school. Sooooo scary!
I was born & raised in Black River Falls & can confirm it’s cursed. Mother & I lived in a haunted house for 13 years in the grove, few blocks away from main st. Very beautiful area & much to offer. But the town possesses multiple active haunted houses/establishments/parks/murders/never ending suicides.. Perry Creek park is worth looking into & was a hot spot for teens to explore late at night & experience/see more than what we hoped for. WI Death Trip was shown to us in some classes in the BRF high school. I fled to Montana a few years ago & will not be returning to the Black Hole 🙏🏼👌🏼🤠
I live in the grove & haven't experienced anything paranormal.
Which house were you at that was haunted?
Grew up around there, trying to tackle Kirby thundercloud in high school football was painful!
I live about 25 miles away, pretty nice toads for motorcycles all around the area. There is a pretty shady side to BRF, a certain population as gotten into hard drugs and the "fire water".
I go to pow-wows in BRF. It’s seriously the best town we got around these parts. 🤷♀️
Hi Sally. Did you and Marty post a video this week?
Arizona’s oldest silver mining camp is a living ghost town

2:22
"G. Drinkwine, father of Miss Lillian Drinkwine, who commited suicide a few days ago, attempted suicide at Sparta. He swallowed a large quantity of cigar stubs."
And then there's the bottom sign at 1:11
😳
Still, it seems like a nice town, I could live there. 😉👍
Thanks Sally! 🤠👍
You’re welcome 😊
This place was not cursed, Sally doesn't tell the whole story. Ppl were eating rye the was getting wet n it was making them go mad /tripping n dong things that they would never do. There is a book n a documentary on it that will explain everything.
Gives me an idea, Halloween would be a good time for some, scary stories from, frightseeingsally.
I wonder if Static X, a rock band, took the title of Wisconsin Death Trip for their album. Great video! I am in WI, not far from Black River Falls. I love all the small towns in this area.
I’ve read that they did use the title from this book
That is really awesome 😎💯 that they repurposed that old school building
In 1999 rmax played a movie doc. called Wisconsin Death Trips, just like the story you told !
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Black River Falls was served by the branch line of the former C&MO RR later UP RR until the final run of the branch line local freight that served the iron ore mine many years ago.
My grandpa used to have a cabin in a small place called pray it’s not far from there I always thought I got wierd vibes from black river falls
He believed in the Big Bang theory…
I believe in Marty though…
My husband temporarily moved there for a few months...as soon as he moved the dam broke and flooded the residence...I jokingly told him BRF was cursed ..
May have been correct
They have a clothing optional campground. I can’t wait to go. I understand it’s mostly old naked fat guys. I’m 71. I should fit right in.
Cool video! Thanks 🐾🌻
Thank you! Cheers!
I grew up here and it’s just like any other small town you come across. Everyone knows everyone and most of the people are friendly to visitors and tourists. The town just got a bad rap because of Wisconsin Death Trip.
Check out waushara County. Court house where Ed gein was held it's a museum now worth the stop.
Black river falls does have a vibe to it, I never knew about its history
In 1829, a doctor invented a safeguard gadget that enabled a person accidentally buried alive to ring for help. He rigged strong lengths of string attached with bell above-ground. And attached the other end around ankles/wrists of deceased in casket to sound an alarm.
Either put the sunglasses on correct to take them off.
It's a cool vibe, I'm sure you are a straight laced stroke😂, if you don't have something nice to say......your parents failed you and now you have no sense of self so you think you can comment on others
Sally, this is the second video of yours. So I subscribed. You remind me of another Channel I follow Wonderhussy you two are so similar in your narrative style. She even says wah wah when mentioning a regret or dissipointment😅 . Are you related.?😮
Thanks for subscribing. Hope you enjoy the vids! And, no we are not.
most of the small towns in Wisconsin are cursed
Sand pillow circle or something like that. It was the street I stayed on when I was little and the house was haunted as hell all I remember from black river falls is my parents had a Medicine man come to the house. We got sent to the park not to far from the house and I remember seeing like a hundred or so white birds come flying from the house. That experience and some creepy stuff I’ve seen in the house I will Remember forever
Ove just begun the video, but are you aware it's on Tribal lands?
