Madison knows how to enjoy Halloween. All you have to do is go down to State Street during Freakfest, our annual costumed blow-out coming up this weekend, to see for yourself. But we have ghosts and ghouls that turn out at other times of the year, even over decades. “Wisconsin contains, if the yarns are an indication, more ghosts per square mile than any other state in the nation,” wrote the late author and folklorist Robert Gard in 1962.
