Is there anyone who lives in Wisconsin that saw the beast?

funny that you should mention that:

I was just planning for a drunken excursion to Walworth County. It'd be about a 2-hour drive from my place and I have nothing better to do.

Any brave souls willing to join me?

Recent reports say the beast is becoming dangerous.

How can you tell? And is this a joke about the DRUNKEN part? If you are going to WI, bring an instant or digital camera, so we can actually have a picture of the Beast.

Yeah, the "drunken" bit is my poor attempt at a joke.

I'll admit, I doubt that there is any actual creature. Probably just the musing of truly-drunken locals.

But, I'm still pleased Wisconsin has a little something strange supposedly going on.

I'm a proud resident of the Werewolf State.

Still, whether it's a wolf or bear, we must get a good picture. I did a little checking on the wildlife in WI. The only animals are black bears and timber wolves. None of them are the same height as what the witnesses saw. It could be a new animal

I found out on the trailer that there was a photograph of the beast. Anyone here knows who has it?

Birdy, are you still on the site? Have you seen the beast yet?

Interesting.... This is the sort of thing that I always think I MUUUST see for myself. Tsk...I might have to go there someday. I will wear a suit of steaks. ^_^ The werewolves will not be able to resist!! Bwahaha!

Ohh, I've been reading about thylacines for years! I followed their cloning research for a long time. The idea was taking DNA from preserved unborn babies, cloning it, and ...making thylacines! For a while, it looked like they might be able to do it, because since the babies had been preserved in ALCOHOL, the DNA would probably be undamaged.

But, sadly they don't have good enough stuff to work with. :s

There HAVE been supposed sightings of thylacines, though. Some people think a few are still alive.

The more you know! *rainbow*....*gives stolen joke back*

There certainly have been sightings, I've even got a page about it.

Maybe they're just seeing werethylacines.

Ooh, snazzy, Jamie!

I love thylacines. They have the coolest, widest mouths ever.

Wisconsin-born and raised, I’ve always heard stuff about the "beast". However, I never once went there.

I should consider heading down to Bloomfield where Bray Road is located when I get free time. Too bad it’s in southern Wisconsin (on the Illinois border), instead of being closer to the north central part of the state where I live.

I doubt I would even see hide-nor-hair of the alleged creature, but I would be able to say I've been there.

Maybe she has... but never returned from the encounter!

Bloomfield? Thats the town in NJ where I work!

But no beast here. Over in NJ we have the Jersey Devil.

Do you think the "bear-wolf" might be related to the Bray Road beast?

Don't be fooled by the new name. The "bear wolf" is just Linda Godfrey's latest spin on her ever-evolving opinions of the Beast of Bray Road. Is it the same creature? Well, in order to answer that question you have to evaluate the evidence yourself: do you even consider the Beast of Bray Road to be a single creature?
Originally, the "Beast of Bray Road" label was applied to wolf-like hairy bipeds (and some quadrupeds, plus a few flat-faced pointy-eared Bigfoot-type creatures) that appeared in a lot of sightings in southeastern Wisconsin. Regardless of whether these sightings were related to each other or not (and you could easily support either argument, regardless of whether you are a believer or a skeptic) they did end up getting lumped together under a "werewolf" label that was generally considered interchangable with the "Beast of Bray Road" label. Nothing about the sightings seems to have changed - they are still in the same area, and the descriptions are roughly similar, so nothing seems to have really changed.
Of course, the original series of sightings described creatures variable enough that it is something of a stretch to lump them all together anyway, unless you really do believe the Beast of Bray Road is a shapeshifter.
So, is the "bear-wolf" just a new label to replace an older label? Yes.
Is the Beast of Bray Road the same creatures as the bear-wolf? It totally depends on whether you even consider the original sightings to be of one creature.

This is a true story this base did get attacked by wolves, who completely wiped out the base aside from said survivors, although its not certain whether they were really werewolves or not, and in fact the police in the area were actually issued silver bullets for their guns. No joke.

Please tell me where you got this information

Bear-wolf? Well, a combination between human and wolf would end up looking somewhat bear-like I think, so it would be possible I guess.

I've lived in wisconsin all my life but i havent seen the beast. i wanna find it sometime soon so i can find out whether or not its real its driving me insane i wanna know.

The new book "Hunting the American Werewolf", has some really good stuff in it. There's a lot of really wierd stuff (trust me, way 'wierder' than in the previous Beast book), and some interesting theories, and some pretty twacked out ideas and sightings, but it gives more fuel for the quest to figure out the truth about these phenomina. Also, there are a number of similarities to "Three Men Seeking Monsters" by Alan Redfern, which I didn't particularly care for, as well as "Hunt for the Skinwalker" a fairly new book that came out last year, I can't make out the author's name from my bookcase though *damn blind wolf ><*)

wierd i'll scope it out later on. gotta get back to my school work.

Ah heck someone had to ask me to find that I wanna say I read it in "The Werewolf Book" by Brad Steiger, but I had have to go through it again to be sure, and if not there then it was an issue of Fate, either/or. I did read that somewhere though, and I have been trying to verify this story by trying to find some sort of actual record that the soviet police were in fact issued silver bullets, but it is hard to find a whole lot of info on Google that doesn't have to do with the Soviet "Werewolves" i.e. Hitler's own little group of super soldiers or whatever lol. Let see there are NeoNazis that call themselves Werewolves, and Yugoslavia has it's own "werewolves" kind of like our Navy Seals or Marines I guess, like the elite, so it makes it a little more difficult to filter through to find that info. I have loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong lost that issue of Fate that I'm almost certain had mentioned it, but I'm also sure it is mentioned somewhere in Brad Steiger's book if not it's own chapter, it should be mentioned somewhere. If anyone else has info on this please be so kind as to help. Thanks.

P.S. I really did read that somewhere, so it's just something I've made up, it's just I read that about 4 or 5 years ago.

wierd stories huh. but what if its true?

Sounds a lot like the plot for Dog Soldiers, if it's true, I wonder if that was an influince on the movie(s) (hopefully soon plural)

I remember reading something similar; but it was a German base.
There was this village in Germany where it is said the last werewolf was killed, and they lit a candle that never go out, to keep the spirit of the werewolf from returning; one day years ago, the candle did indeed go out; and at a nearby German military base, they had an intruder alert and the witnesses claimed they saw a creature that walked upright like a man, but with the head of a wolf, run away, and vault (one smooth jump) the high perimeter fence. When they brought out dogs to track it, the dogs refused the trail. I can't recall if silver was issued in that instance or not; it's in a couple of my books, and all over the internet.

"The Morbach Monster
Anonymous
Have you ever heard of the Morbach Monster?
I first learned of the legend while I was stationed at Hahn Airforce Base, Germany. Morbach was a munitions site just outside of the villiage of Wittlich.

Supposedly Wittlich is the last town where a werewolf was killed. There is a shrine just outside of town where a candle always burns. Legend has it that if the candle ever goes out the werewolf will return.

One night a group of security policemen were on the way to their post at Morbach, when they noticed that the candle was out at the shrine, and all joked about the monster.

Later that night alarms were received from a fence-line sensor. When the security policemen investigated the call one of them saw a huge "dog-like" animal stand up on its back legs, look at him, and jump over the 7 1/2 foot chain-link fence. A military working dog was brought to the area where the creature was last seen, and the dog went nuts, not wanting anything to do with tracking the creature.

This occured around 1988.

There have always been "ghost" stories dreamed up by bored security policemen, but this is one I have heard over and over again. Thought you might find it interesting. "

very true. it does. that movie was good but if its true beware the dog soldiers

that's an awesome story neomoon! Thanks for sharing that. I haven't heard that one but there a lot of stories online about German Werewolf units. I think it was actually mentioned in one of Linda Godfrey's books that when soldiers were fighting some german units they thought the Nazis actually had glowing red eyes and the heads of wolves or something to that effect. War can do things to you I'm sure

German General: "So you are und an American from Wisconsin, ja? Und vhy do you want to join our German army?"

Beast of Bray Road: "Roooowr!"

German General: "Very well und sign ere und ere."

Beast of Bray Road: "Growwl!"
