Burlington's historical district rests uneasily on top of twenty-seven ancient burial mounds. No wonder everyone in the seemingly sleepy Wisconsin town owns a ghost story or two. Residents have spotted the White Beast of Burlington near the old fish hatchery, bumped into a Confederate apparition on Academy Road and caught a glimpse of the Lady in Blue at the Malt House Theater. Mary Sutherland spent fourteen years chasing local lore through the underground tunnels and eerie skies of this hotbed of supernatural activity. Now she stands as a ready guide to the mysteries of the Burlington Vortex.
