Something Else?

Wisconsin

Is
Wisconsin a hotbed for werewolf sightings? Or maybe dog-like bigfoot? When
several witnesses describe similar creatures seen in the same area, one has to
wonder. A review of some historic
“werewolf’ sightings in that state give some frightening details.
In
1936, Mark Shcackelman was driving one evening in southeastern Wisconsin when
he saw a figure digging in an Indian mound. He claims to have seen a creature
covered in hair, and well over six feet tall with both dog-like and ape-like
features. He described it as having pointed, erect ears. But he gave an
interesting detail: He said the creatures hands had shriveled thumbs and
forefingers along with three fully formed fingers.
Schackelman
returned to the area the next evening only to see the creature again. He said
it was was making “neo-human” sounds described as three syllable growling.
Little did he know that there would be reports of similar creatures in other
parts of the state in later years.
In
an evening in 1991, also in southeastern Wisconsin, an unnamed woman felt a
bump in the road like she’d hit something large. She stopped her car and got
out to check the damages and looked off into the distance only to see a dark,
hairy creature with a muscular chest running towards her. In a panic, she got
back into her car and tried to get away when she claims the creature jumped
onto her trunk. As she sped away, the creature finally fell off as she said the
trunk was too wet for the creature to keep a grip. She returned to the scene
later with a friend only to see a large, dark form rising from the side of the
road.
In
1989, Lorianne Endrizzi was driving just a half mile from the scene of the
above encounter when she thought she saw someone kneeling on his haunches on
the side of the road. She slowed down to get a better look and the creature
stared back at her from no more than six feet across the width of her car. It
had grayish-brown hair, fangs, and pointed ears.
“His
face was long and had a snout like a wolf,” she told a local reporter. 'The
arms were really a kind of strange; jointed like a man or woman would be,"
she explained. "He was holding his hands with his palms upward. The arms
were muscular 'like a man who had worked out a little bit." She went on to
describe a creature with red-glowing eyes with its back legs behind it like it
was kneeling. She had no idea what the creature might be until she later saw a
werewolf in a book in the local library.
The sighting only lasted maybe 45 seconds.
Near
this same time in the same area, Scott Bray, a local dairy farmer claimed to
have seen a “strange-looking dog” beside his pasture. He said it was much
larger than a German Shepherd, had a hairy tail, and pointed ears, with
grayish-black wiry hair. He said the creature had a massive, strong-looking
chest. He claimed he found enormous footprints in the dirt near the area which
were four to five inches in diameter.
Whatever
these creatures were described by these witnesses, it certainly points to the
idea that “werewolves” may have roamed the areas of southern Wisconsin for many
years.******DF
