    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    @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 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 🙏🏼👌🏼🤠

    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.

    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
