I believe in the Wisconsin werewolf or Beast of Bray Road or whatever you please to call it, but the picture isn’t entirely accurate. Eh, call me crazy but there is a werewolf in the generall vicinity of where I live and it looks like what people are describing, just not the pictures. Whoever drew that one must not have known all that much about human/wolf anatomy. I have sketched what it, or should I say, they, look like. It is at my deviantart page, moonbeast14. Check it out if anyone wants to.

One problem I see with a ghillie suit, is I’ve never seen them with wolf-like ears or muzzles on them. Would someone who’s interested in poaching a deer, really go to the trouble of wearing a ghillie suit at 1am? There would have to be a vehicle parked nearby because I doubt they would want to drag it for miles, maybe someone should ask Mr. Krueger if he saw any vehicles parked along the road in that area.

Rillo777, you said you are intrigued by the bearwolf thing, do a Google search for an animal called an Amphicyon. It’s also known as a beardog. Some artist’s have made it appear as if it has a Wolf’s head on a Bear’s body, so on Google look under Images too. The big problem is that it’s been extinct for 14 million years.

Maybe it is related to the Bearwalk…the mythical creature referenced in the Jeff Daniels movie “Escanaba by da moonlight”.

It is interesting that this happened only a few days before Wisconsin’s deer season opens.

Maybe the guy is opposed to hunting and is thinking a story like this will keep hunters out of the woods.

Well, it’s not everyday that you get a witness that says “Heck no!, that wasn’t a Bigfoot I saw” and then goes on to explain that what he saw was far, far, stranger and less easy to explain. So assuming that he’s correct in reporting what he saw, just what the heck IS this thing?

Isn’t there supposedly a roaming werewolf in Southeastern Wisconsin? I thought it was near Jefferson County or by Whitewater. I was watching the Travel Channel once and they were talking about several reports of this. Isn’t Bray Rd in Jefferson County? I have never heard of the Wausau werewolf sighting.

Whoo brother.

He’s afraid it will take a Bigfoot turn. When what he’s really going for is American Werewolf.

Sheesh. Hey. Maybe it’s the Phantom of the Opera, moonlighting. Always thought the guy needed to fix those ears, though.

Quick note to Porkchop; when I said “closest I could come” I was referring to types of creatures that have been reported to me, not to spatial location. - Linda

At least we know Nov 9th wasn’t a full moon.

You need to clarify the reference, if by close you mean spatial proximity. Wausau is almost 3 hours of 65 mph interstate driving from West Bend. Godfrey’s Beast of Bray Rd is closer and reasonably matched in description.

The Wausau reference is also confusing because a wolf or bear near Wausau would be interesting but not news, as bear hunters I know just recently have found hibernating bears south of Hwy 29, but only just recently.

If you said you saw a bear as far south as West Bend, I would first say “no way,” until someone else confirmed it. The way this reads is bears are common in SE WI, and they aren’t.
