The Beast of Bray Road - Bojangles - 08-04-2008
The Beast of Bray Road (or the Bray Road Beast) is a cryptozoological creature first reported in the 1980s on a rural road outside of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. The same label has been applied well beyond the initial location, to any unknown creature from southern Wisconsin or northern Illinois that is described as having similar characteristics to those reported in the initial set of sightings.
Bray Road itself is a quiet country road near the community of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. The rash of claimed sightings in the late 1980s and early 1990s prompted a local newspaper, the Walworth County Week, to assign reporter Linda Godfrey to cover the story. Godfrey initially was skeptical, but later became convinced of the sincerity of the witnesses. Her series of articles later became a book entitled "The Beast of Bray Road : Trailing Wisconsin's Werewolf".
The Beast of Bray Road is described by purported witnesses in several ways:
* A hairy biped resembling Bigfoot.
* An unusually large and intelligent wolf-like creature apt to walk on its hind legs, right up to 7 feet, on all fours 2-4 feet, and weighing 400-700 lbs.
* A bear-like creature.
Although the Beast of Bray Road has not been seen to transform from a human into a wolf in most of the sightings, it has been labeled a werewolf in newspaper articles.

Considering they found a coelocanth, thought to be extinct since prehistoric times, in 1938, anything is possible. We are still finding new species of animals daily in the rain forests and deep ocean regions. You would think we wouldn't have missed any big animals, like bigfoot, but the world is an awfully large place with lots of area to hide in. Cryptozoology is the study of these animals. Think of what would happen if Bigfoot came up and said "Hi!" to someone. :eek: Okay, science lesson over. :esnicker:
