The Beast of Bray Road

The first reports of the Beast of Bray Road began in the 1980's to the early 1990's, on a road outside of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Most of the witnesses described the beast as a bear-like creature, standing about 4 feet tall on all fours and 7 feet tall on its hind legs, or an intelligent wolf like creature that could walk on its hind legs, and looked to weigh about 600 pounds. During or right after sightings, witnesses smell a very terrible odor that they describe as rotting meat. The Beast of Bray Road was never seen to transform from human to creature in most of the sightings, but has been labelled a werewolf in newspapers.

People have described the beast looking like a man with huge muscles and covered with hair. They say its face looks like that of a wolf or a German shepherd with pointy ears and three long claws on its hands. When these witnesses tried to have a good view of the creature and would shine the headlights of their car onto it, its eyes would reflect yellow like other animals. There was also a report that this beast made a sound. A night watchman reported that the beast was digging in an Indian burial ground and the beast looked at him and growled "Gadarah" twice then walked away on its hind legs.

A number of theories have been proposed. They say that the creature is an undiscovered wild dog, wolfdog of coydog. It is also possible that it could be a hoax and mass hysteria could also have caused falsehoods and over exaggeration. There have also been sightings in the neighbouring state of Michigan.

Sightings of the Beast of Bray Road:

+ 1989: Lorianne Endrizzi was driving on Bray Road when she saw what she thought was a person hunched over by the roadside. She slowed down to take a closer look. She was no more than six feet away from it. Endrizzi clearly saw a beast with grayish brown hair, fangs, pointed ears and glowing yellow eyes. Later, she saw a picture of a werewolf that looked like the creature she saw.

+ 1989: Scott Bray reported seeing a strange dog in his pasture near Bray Road. It was larger and taller than a German shepherd, had pointed ears, a hairy tail, a coat of long gray and black hair. He followed it to a large pile of rocks, but the creature vanished. He found huge footprints.

+ 1999: Doristine Gipson was driving along Bray Road when she felt her right front tire leave the ground as if she had hit something. She stopped the car, got out and looked into the darkness. She saw dark, hairy form racing toward her. She jumped back into the car and tried to drive away when the beast jumped onto her trunk, but it was too wet for the creature to hang on and it fell.
