Beast of Bray Road

The Beast of Bray Road is a legendary cryptid reported primarily in the rural areas near Elkhorn, Wisconsin, particularly along the quiet stretch of Bray Road.

Witnesses consistently describe a massive, muscular creature standing between six and seven feet tall, covered in thick gray or black fur, and possessing a face that resembles a wolf or a large dog.

This bloodthirsty creature was said to swoop silently from the sky, snatching livestock and humans for its prey.
