Thanks, Drat, I hope to be posting a bunch of sightings on the sightings log soon. I also post things on the reader’s page that are related, or sightings that don’t quite make the grade or don’t respond to requests for more info or verification.

I wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from watching the movie, it has a certain rustic charm. I just hope people go into knowing what it is…and is not!

Best, Linda

Hey there Linda! I’m just now about 2/3rds of the way through The Beast of Bray Road–it’s really a good, entertaining and factual feeling read…hard to put those two characteristics together in one book, so my compliments. I also like the way you seem to anticipate questions the reader might have concerning the Beast and the sightings, and address them accordingly.

I’ll keep tabs on your blog from now on, and I’m looking forward to reading about new sightings!

Looks like I’ll be skipping that movie after all…drat.

Lesley, thanks so much for the very nice comment. Ian is a great host who makes it easy to be relaxed.

Harleyb, I do believe the Beast and the Michigan Dogman are the same type of of canid creature. Michigan is the sightings hot zone at the moment, and I’ll be making a trip there very soon to investigate some new ones.

Linda - I wanted to say that I love it when you are on with Ian Punnett. The two of you make not only for an interesting show, but also very entertaining!
As for the movie The Beast of Bray Road, it is horrible and I don’t mean that in a good way!

Never heard of Linda’s book. I am going to put it on my list to read.

I wonder if the “beast” has anything to do with the Michigan dogman legend?

Linda’s HUNTING THE AMERICAN WEREWOLF is a fascinating read, it’s a shame there aren’t more movies out there made which stick to the truth instead of turning already mysterious facts into poor fiction.

The ‘beast’ of Bray Road has fascinated me for years and I’m sure that the answer lies in the human psyche rather than the woods of Wisconsin!

Yes, of course, I’ve already fixed that discrepancy in my blog. Duh!! I looked at my correspondence again and realized I was mentally transposing a different part of the same witness’s initial email where she said “I ride my horses out into the woods a lot and I really, really, really don’t want to run into one; it would be taller than I am when I am sitting on my horse…” Thanks so much for pointing it out. - Linda

One inconsistency she might want to clear up is that Godfrey’s intro states the witness had her impression while horseback riding, while the text from the subject states:
“Then, (and for some reason it felt like this came from my right, the side of my CAR that was toward the hills and mountains),” (my emphasis on car).
Otherwise, an interesting account to add to the mythology of interactions between humans and “other beings”.
