20 Years of Beastliness

December 31, 2011 by Linda Godfrey

Believe it or not, Thursday was the 20th anniversary of my original news story on the creature I dubbed The Beast of Bray Road. Little did I know what it would lead to! And yes, although similar creatures are reported to me regularly from all over the US, the Beast is still spotted on Bray Road. The most recent credible report was from a middle-aged couple who saw it cross the road near Hwy NN and then easily hop a fence, all on two legs. They said its shaggy fur “flowed” in the wind.

My first book on the topic, “The Beast of Bray Road,” is now out of print but can now be had on Kindle (used book copies are quite pricey!) That was published in 2003, and fall 2012 will see my 5th book dealing with unknown, upright wolf-like creatures “Real Wolfmen – True Encounters in Modern America” from Tarcher/Penguin. No one is more surprised than I am at the creature’s longevity. 

Will there be more? That depends entirely on whether enough new cases come to me or if some truly amazing evidence comes to light. I am starting to wonder if the mystery will ever be solved, but I do intend to keep investigating. 

The year changes tomorrow as I enter my 21st decade of creature-seeking, and the hunt begins anew…

    I’ve lived in SE rural WI for over half a century, and grew up along the edge of a wildlife preserve with the woods and marsh out behind our house. I’ve heard stories about similar beasts through my life, but never encountered one. Back in the early 1980s, we had a farm in Jefferson Co; during this time, some sort of beast (not a bear, cougar, etc.) was reported to be attacking livestock. But like so many of these stories, they just seem to die out, with no conclusion. I think that’s the problem — no conclusions, no solid evidence, and yet it does appear that there is SOMETHING out of the ordinary lurking around out there. It doesn’t make sense. Since it is reported to have a strong odor, it seems to me that dogs would have been used to track it (them?) down, but…

    Mark S. only told his wife and son, Joe. Joe told me after he saw stories about the Beast of Bray Road on TV and wondered if they were the same thing.

    Dear Linda,
    Did you ever hear a reason from anyone why Mark Schackelman, Jefferson Wi 1936 told his story?
    I’m curious if he seeked out someone or he told someone he knew..etc
    Any info would be great.

    Well, I am consoled by the first book now on kindle … so I can have it with me anywhere!

    …and signed them too! I’m in the book business, (Dark Hollow Books at abebooks), books signed by the author are always more valuable.

    Thanks Bill! I only wish I had known prices would go that way so I could have hoarded a few copies!


  9. on March 9, 2012 at 8:49 am Bill Morrison

    Pricey is right Linda! I just checked abebooks and the 2 copies listed are $59 and $64 – large trade paperbacks. Naturally I have a pristine copy that I will never part with (along with HUNTING THE AMERICAN WEREWOLF and MICHIGAN DOGMAN). Can’t wait for REAL WOLFMEN.

    Keep on investigating and writing for another 20 years Linda!!

    I would love to accompany you Linda! I’ve been researching and obsessing about this creature since I heard about.
