Join David Lee CorBO (The Raven) and Top Lobsta on Nephilim Death Squad with special guest Jeff Finup of Badgerland Legends for the full story of the White Lady of Champion — Wisconsin’s only Vatican-approved Marian apparition.In 1859, young Belgian immigrant Adele Brise encountered the dazzling Queen of Heaven standing between a maple and hemlock tree near her family’s farm in Champion, Wisconsin. The Lady identified herself as the Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners, instructed Adele to teach the children the catechism, and warned of punishment if they did not repent.
What followed was the building of a chapel and school that miraculously survived the Peshtigo Fire of October 8, 1871 — America’s deadliest wildfire that killed 1,200–2,500 people and burned 1.2 million acres. The shrine stood untouched while flames stopped at the fence line — a miracle witnessed by locals who fled there and prayed the rosary around a statue of Mary.
Jeff Finup breaks down the three apparitions, Father Verhof’s guidance, the Catholic defense of Mary as Queen of Heaven (Revelation 12 & Luke 1:28), the Assumption, and how it contrasts with the “Queen of Heaven” condemned in Jeremiah. He also compares it to Guadalupe, Lourdes, and Fatima.The conversation then dives deep into Wisconsin cryptids: the Beast of Bray Road Dogman legend, Linda Godfrey’s research, the 1930s Shackleman night watchman encounter at a Catholic convent where the upright canine uttered “Gadara” on an Indian burial mound, connections to Bigfoot, skinwalkers, orbs, trail cam anomalies, and the quantum/woo side of the phenomenon.Bonus topics include CE-5 contact, Project Sanguine ELF waves in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, and the Puharich Madison, Wisconsin connection.
A must-watch for fans of Marian apparitions, Peshtigo Fire history, Wisconsin Dogman, Beast of Bray Road, and true paranormal folklore from the Badger State.
