Earlier we reported on the weirdness that surrounds the place called Cannock Chase. For many years this area has been associated with big cats, weird creatures, unknown manlike races and UFO’s.

Could a recent discovery be evidence that a big mammal does stalk the area?

In July this year golfers Ray Bright and Danny Adams photographed a huge pawprint they discovered at a nearby golf club. This coupled with numerous reports of sightings have only served to deepen the mystery.

Recently the Chase Post published an article showing a cast of a large pawprint. The print spans over four inches and seems to back up these reported sightings.

Chase Post: Cannock beast; paw print evidence?

Bray Road is a quiet country road near the community of Elkhirm, Wisconsin. Nothing much ever happened there, that is until the late 1980′s and early 1990′s. Reports of strange encounters with a unknown beast began to emerge.

The story received media attention when Linda Godfrey, a writer and cartoonist for a weekly newspaper called The Week, started collecting eyewitness testimonies and writing about them. Articles also appeared in Strange magazine. Sightings have been reported in a much wider geographical area, even as far away as Milwaukee.

Godfrey has written a book on the sightings, The Beast of Bray Road: Tailing Wisconsin’s Werewolf, published by Prairie Oak Press in 2003.

However the story of the beast goes back much further. One of the earliest recorded encounters happened in 1936. Mark Schackelman was a night watchman at a Catholic convent, St. Colleta, near Jefferson, Wisconsin.

One night, about midnight, while doing his rounds, he noticed something standing on top of a Native American burial mound.Looking closer he saw that the creature was clawing at the burial mound, as if it wanted to get in. He shouted out and started to move towards it. The creature looked at him startled and turned and fled into the darkness.

The following night at about the same time, Mark was againnear the mound. Once more he saw the creature clawing at the gravesite. This time he crept closer, making sure to keep quiet. Suddenly the creature stopped what it was doing and looked around. Seeing Mark, it stood up and faced him.
