I've been to bray road. I live right here in good old wisconsin! Hell yeah! :howl:  :oo THe sight where the sighting happened is usually packed with tourists, but I found a way around that area. I scouted the forest two miles north of there and sure enough, I found what I was looking for...wolf scat. It wasn't normal sized,(And I used gloves) and it contained animal matter in it. Just maybe...

No, as in the way it looked, not how much. And there was a lot. Kinda lookes like a tube, like a human, but too much of it.

You know, I remember hearing about this once in the '90s. I don't recall hearing the words "Bray Road" until I watched that awful movie on the SciFi channel, though. I was watching one of those 'paranormal mystery' shows, and they ran a story on what they just called "the Wisconsin Werewolf". There was a woman who was driving and stopped on an empty road (maybe that was Bray Road?) because she thought she hit something. Got out of the car (stupid move, in my opinion), heard a loud, rhythmic thumping, looked up to see the thing running towards her, jumped back in the car and peeled out.

There was another woman who claimed the thing came right up to her house and stared at her through a large window. In her words, "I thought I was lunch". She also mentioned an interesting detail: she said the thing was so skinny she could see its ribs sticking out. The speculation was that if true, it could explain the sudden rash of sightings and near-attacks: the creature was approaching people because it was starving and desperate for food.

That's all well and good, but here's the thing that makes me remember this story a good decade after seeing it: the local police department took these sightings seriously enough that every officer was issued a silver hollow-point bullet. The officer the show's crew was interviewing even showed it to the camera crew; it sure looked like silver to me.

This was in 1995 or now? There was a dog that was being dragged off. It was about four AM when I woke up to the sound of a dog barking. I saw it run past my window, then it ran back. Then I heard it scream and nothing. In the morning, their was bloody drag marks on the road. :sickpup:

That could've been a regular wolf or a dog, but maybe...
