Wisconsin Has A Haunted Road Where People Keep Seeing The Same Creature
There's a haunted road in Wisconsin that has had so many sightings of the same creature that it's been featured in movies, books, and TV shows. It's called the Beast of Bray Road, and sightings go back nearly 100 years.
Bray Road, Walworth County, Wisconsin
Bray Road is a two-lane highway in Walworth County, near Elk Horn, Wisconsin. Multiple witnesses over the years have reported the same thing: a 6- to 7-foot-tall, humanoid-looking, wolf-like creature that's very aggressive.
First Sightings In 1936
According to local lore, the creature was first witnessed in 1936 by a night watchman at a local school. He reported seeing the creature digging into an Indian burial mound on the property on two consecutive nights.
Return Of The Beast In The 1980s
Years later, in the 1980s, the sightings happened again. This time, several people reported the Beast of Bray Road making contact with their vehicles, leaving long scratch marks. One woman driving on Bray Road thought she ran over something, and when she got out to check, she saw a large wolf-like creature with red eyes. She got back into the vehicle and fled, but the creature chased her down and left claw marks on her rear passenger door.
While most of the sightings happen at night, it's also been seen in daylight. Witnesses have reported seeing the creature run through cornfields.
Featured In Local Reporter's Book
In the 1980s, a local reporter covered the sightings. Linda Godfrey with the Walworth County Week was a skeptic, but after investigating and interviewing witnesses, she became convinced the witnesses weren't lying. Her articles later became the book "The Beast of Bray Road: Tailing Wisconsin's Werewolf.
The road was just featured as one of the spookiest 30 roads across the world by Sixt. It's also been featured in multiple paranormal TV shows, and even had a horror movie based on the road.
