The Ridgeway Ghost is a ghost of Wisconsin Folklore.
==Legend==
According to legend, the Ridgeway Ghost is not only a ghost, but a “phantom that could change its appearance at will.”〔Anecdotes include people claiming to have seen the ghost of a man with a whip, walking with them or chasing them,〔Brown, Charles E. “The Ridgeway Ghost: Stories of this famous phantom of the Old Military Road.” Wisconsin Folklore Society. Accessed October 31, 2010. p.3-4.〕domestic animals such as dogs, sheep or other farm animals, and various human forms, “including a headless horseman,” and a young or old woman.〔Norman, Michael and Beth Scott. Haunted Wisconsin. Trail Books, Black Earth, Wisconsin, 2001. p. 206-208.〕
Regional folklore holds that the Ridgeway Ghost is a combination of two brothers who had the misfortune to be murdered as a result of a bar brawl sometime in the early 1840s〔Norman, Michael and Beth Scott. Haunted Wisconsin. Trail Books, Black Earth, Wisconsin, 2001. p. 206-207.〕 and was sighted anywhere from the village of Blue Mounds to the town of Dodgeville in Iowa County, Wisconsin a 25 mile stretch of old mining road, since the 1840s.〔Brown, Charles E. “The Ridgeway Ghost: Stories of this famous phantom of the Old Military Road.” Wisconsin Folklore Society. Accessed October 31, 2010. http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/tp&CISOPTR=39284&CISOSHOW=38839〕 Sightings of the “Ridgeway Ghost” supposedly escalate in cycles about every 40 years, starting in the 1850s and occurring more frequently again in the 1890s, the 1930s and the 1970s.〔Boyer, Dennis. Restless Spirits, Prairie Oak Press, 1997. p. 46-47.〕 According to the tale, Dr. Cutler of Dodgeville was the first to announce seeing the Ridgeway phantom, claiming that it appeared on the pole of his wagon as he was riding home one night past the house of the deceased. A man named John Lewis claimed that some “supernatural agency” was the cause of his ailments is said to have died as a result of seeing the Ridgeway Ghost, as are other unnamed individuals.〔Curtis, W.A. “Some Wisconsin Ghosts” The New York Times. December 2, 1902. Accessed November 4, 2010. http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F60D1EFA355414728DDDAE0894DA415B828CF1D3〕
