On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Lauren Sackett, CEO at the Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce in Northern Wisconsin and Vice Chair of the Oneida County Tourism Council. We discuss her destination's commitment to becoming more inclusive and accessible and why this is a positive business decision. Lauren also digs into how hosting events like the US Deaf Golf Championship and Ski for Light provided practical insights that shaped their current accessible initiatives. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Lauren and her organization are focusing on making Rhinelander more inclusive and accessible for diverse travelers What innovative strategies Lauren and her team are implementing to enhance accessibility, including detailed trail mapping and improved website information Lauren shares the experience and impact of hosting events such as the US Deaf Golf Championship and Ski for Light, and how these have helped shift perspectives on inclusivity How the creative approach to the region's mythological mascot, the Hodag, has become a great tourism driver for Rhinelander Why the formation of the Northwoods Chamber Collaborative has been a successful model for idea sharing and regional support The New Face of Cooperative Tourism At the core of Rhinelander's tourism growth is coopetition, and Lauren emphasizes that when neighboring destinations work together, they create greater potential for shared success. Through the Northwoods Chamber Collaborative, DMOs and chambers gather quarterly to share insights, tackle common challenges, and support collective growth. This collaboration builds an ecosystem of shared learning and resource optimization. Promoting Accessible Travel A strong commitment to inclusivity and diversity underpins Rhinelander's tourism approach. They place a huge emphasis on equipping their website with features that support minority-owned businesses and ensure accessibility details are readily available. The introduction of detailed GIS mapping for trails has also seriously boosted accessibility awareness, providing visitors with important information about trail conditions and amenities. This is especially important in 2025, when travelers value destinations where they feel welcome and accommodated. It translates into longer stays and stronger economic impacts on destinations. Hosting events like the US Deaf Golf Championship and Ski for Light provided practical insights that shaped current initiatives, such as developing printed and digital trail guides enriched with GPS features to enhance visitor experience. The local community has also been keen to display support through window stickers, and their grassroots enthusiasm underscores the region's commitment to transformation, not just for tourists but for local residents too. Redefining Success Stories in Tourism Rhinelander's approach to tourism isn't just about increasing visitor numbers; it's about crafting memorable experiences that resonate with diverse audiences. The town, famously associated with the mythical Hodag, harnesses this culturally significant symbol, featuring it in festivals and marketing materials.

Thank goodness for Annelise Ryan. If you listen to the first few minutes of this episode, you'll catch a little rant about my almost-selection and the tired trend of titles with "Daughter" in them. Already in 2022, other folks were sharing just how rampant those titles are. (The blog Fictitiously Yours covers quite a few). You'd think we'd be done with them by now! But nope--of all the suspense-ish books on that New Release shelf, I almost picked Joseph Finder's The Oligarch's Daughter. And while this book has a prologue (UGH), I was happy to read it. The dust jacket warns of a fisherman mauled to death by a Hodag, and the prologue is focused on sharing that crime scene with us, along with the reveal of the creature. For my fellow writers, this prologue's a lovely example of pacing: solid, steady, strong pacing. We have two paragraphs establishing the crime scene's witness and the wintry morning, and one paragraph to set up the scream. Every paragraph after is a fine balance of active movement and sensory observation, especially when it comes to discovering the body. Ryan could have placed the Hodag right by the body, but nope--it's a few more paragraphs of hearing mysterious grunts and scrapes while our witness tries to figure out how to call for help. Of course the witness presumes a bear is nearby (understandably so!), so when the Hodag is revealed near the end of the prologue, we readers are just as aghast as the witness. If you're looking for an escape from the world today, you can't do much better than a snowy adventure in Wisconsin's North Woods, hunting a creature long thought to be a hoax. :)And what will we discover in the following story's pages? We'll have to wait and see. xxxxRead on, share on, and write on, my friends!

If you haven't already go check out our episode on the first volume as well as our individual interviews with both Tim & Tony! “ Farmington's very own LOCAL MAN is called in to investigate a mysterious drowning on dry land. The problem is, Jack isn't legally allowed to be a superhero. Oh, also, he's sleeping with the police chief's wife. AND, there's a conspiracy theory gaining traction that Jack murdered America's most beloved champion. Now, Local Man, already in over his head, is drawn into another twisted case with dark ties to his superhero past.” But first the boys discuss America's heartthrob, Luigi Mangione! Anthony introduces a new sound effect for Cody. It's very obvious when Cody doesn't like the sound of something. We learn more about some characters' past in this volume along with getting a great tripping sequence with Crossjack. Anthony schools us an array of original Image characters that show up in this book. Jake & Anthony give brief thoughts on the Mister Miracle book by Tom King & Mitch Gerads. Is Crossjack's true power to cuck people? Is our fan Trey from New Zealand still out there? We briefly talk our excitement for the new DC film universe. To all our Commies and new listeners, start listening around episode 8! Cody tries to escape being Hodag and lord more to laugh at & learn. Tune in now!

What has spikes down the entire length of its body, a fistful of needle-sharp pointed spears at the end of its tail, and fangs that would rival a saber-tooth tiger as it could easily rip out the belly of the biggest bear? If you ask a few Wisconsin residents about a terrifying creature that seems to be living amongst them but hiding in plain sight, they might share their own Hodag encounters with you. But it's up to you to decide whether you can believe their tales. After all, the Hodag may be the scariest beast in all of Wisconsin. Or, it may be the biggest hoax they've drummed up yet. ----- CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Start 01:17 - The Illusory Truth Effect 03:43 - The Hodag Crawls off the Tabloids 06:41 - Eugene S.

For centuries, a triangular portion of Lake Michigan has been ground zero for sunken ships, disappearing crews, and vanishing aircraft. As if these incidents aren't creepy enough, what is now known as the Lake Michigan Triangle is also notorious for UFO sightings and strange lights appearing on the horizon. (The Lake Michigan Paranormal Triangle) *** There's a beast living in the woodlands outside of Rhinelander, Wisconsin – and its description is beyond belief. I'll introduce you to the hodag! (Meet the Hodag) *** Sylvia Plath died by suicide at the age of 30 on February 11, 1963, following a barrage of literary rejections and her husband's infidelity. We'll look at her haunting story and tragic death. (The Tragic Death of Sylvia Plath) *** It's approximately four hundred years old, full of colorful illustrations of plants, flowers, the stars, women, medicinal herbs, and text… yet no one has been able to decipher exactly what the Voynich Manuscript is for or what it says. (The Voynich Manuscript) *** The disappearance of a person is a tragedy no matter how you look at it. When we first read about missing people we usually automatically assume the most logical explanation was what happened. But what if we're wrong? We'll look at the vanishing of Claude and Sue Shelton.

In the late 19th century, in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, the hodag—a monster that sprung up in the tall tales of local logging camps— made its national debut when one was supposedly captured alive and put on display at a county fair. We are very sorry we missed it.

In a stunning 1961 UAP encounter, Wisconsin plumber Joe Simonton was handed hard evidence of extraterrestrial contact: four greasy "pancakes" from outer space. Then, the evidence disappeared. In this episode, Greg and Dana track down Project Blue Book's missing faelien flapjacks, accidentally uncovering a bizarre conspiracy poised to rewrite UFO history.

Welcome to Paranormal Spectrum, where we illuminate the enigmatic corners of the supernatural world. I'm your host, Barnaby Jones, and today we have a very special guest joining us:Stevie Henk is a member of Entity Ventures Paranormal, a team based in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and travels all over the United States. Stevie and Tabitha started their team in 2019 after being on another team together that disbanded. They weren't ready to let go of the paranormal, so they broke off on their own and created this amazing team, bringing Jade on as a member a couple of years later.They have made it their mission to investigate places no others have and to seek out places and spirits that haven't yet been able to tell their story. They dive into the history of these locations, communicate with the deceased occupants, and with the departed resident's help, write the stories the spirits want to tell.They also investigate local homes and businesses when living people seek assistance. They help figure out what is happening in their establishments or homes and give advice or help in dealing with the findings. Most people do not fear what they find and instead embrace their new family members.You can find Entity Ventures Paranormal on Facebook and their YouTube Channel, where they have videos of their investigations, including their “Paranormal Rhinelander” series.https://entity-ventures-paranormal.square.site/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2DAFPaEjG6TaoNKcjoddeg2ghEYlO0HJYPV7M4QnnwrbsdWy8ArUU334M_aem_AdT-52AwPUBMiFI25IleZe_GETFdvYZ1krbN5EoH19vDIFmwvdJ5x8sSZLk8x4ciLF59YqTCMzr2cY_ngxE7mYjGhttps://www.facebook.com/EntityVenturesParanormalhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ6KdMerOgntDTHDSOgOFPQClick that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

I was asked about the Albatwitch, and the Vegetable Man. I'd never heard of either, so I did what I do, I researched. The Albatwitch is a small, hairy creature that eats apples. The Vegetable Man was an alien that attacked a man in 1975. I also looked into the Beast of Bladenboro, the Dark Watchers, and the Hodag. Here are some little-known encounters with the strange.

For centuries, a triangular portion of Lake Michigan has been ground zero for sunken ships, disappearing crews, and vanishing aircraft. As if these incidents aren't creepy enough, what is now known as the Lake Michigan Triangle is also notorious for UFO sightings and strange lights appearing on the horizon. (The Lake Michigan Paranormal Triangle) *** There's a beast living in the woodlands outside of Rhinelander, Wisconsin – and its description is beyond belief. I'll introduce you to the hodag! (Meet the Hodag) *** Sylvia Plath died by suicide at the age of 30 on February 11, 1963, following a barrage of literary rejections and her husband's infidelity. We'll look at her haunting story and tragic death. (The Tragic Death of Sylvia Plath) *** It's approximately four hundred years old, full of colorful illustrations of plants, flowers, the stars, women, medicinal herbs, and text… yet no one has been able to decipher exactly what the Voynich Manuscript is for or what it says. (The Voynich Manuscript) *** The disappearance of a person is a tragedy no matter how you look at it. When we first read about missing people we usually automatically assume the most logical explanation was what happened. But what if we're wrong? We'll look at the vanishing of Claude and Sue Shelton. (The Shelton Disappearance) *** Unlike their Hollywood counterparts, the real-life Men in Black are mysterious figures who threaten people who have reported paranormal experiences. (The Intimidating and Terrifying Men In Black) *** (New episode November 07, 2023)SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “The Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers” by Gray Barker: https://amzn.to/3FMkmXZBOOK: “Flying Saucers And The Three Men” by Albert Bender: https://amzn.to/40IKixr“The Lake Michigan Paranornal Triangle” by Megan Summers for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/y2zb3xjd“The Tragic Death of Sylvia Plath” by Kaleena Fraga for All That's Interesting: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5764u398“The Voynich Manuscript” by Shelly Barclay for Historic Mysteries: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8a92bu“Meet the Hodag” from The Ghost In My Machine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8bv8ws (PHOTOS of the captured hodag: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8u5abz; statue in front of Chamber of Commerce:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8c3h38; statue at ice arena: https://explorerhinelander.com/Listings/rhinelander-ice-arena/)“The Shelton Disappearance” by Crystal Dawn for Lost N' Found Blogs: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckkskp7“The Intimidating and Terrifying Men in Black” by Austin Harvey for All That's Interesting:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3ccn32bjVisit our Sponsors & Friends: https://weirddarkness.com/sponsorsJoin the Weird Darkness Syndicate: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateAdvertise in the Weird Darkness podcast or syndicated radio show: https://weirddarkness.com/advertise= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.
