S6E231 - The Beast of Bray Road

About this episode

This episode explores the long-running reports of a large, upright, hair-covered figure seen along Bray Road in Wisconsin.

A deep dive into one of America’s most persistent modern rural mysteries, this episode of *Strange Places* explores the long-running reports from Bray Road in Wisconsin, where witnesses across decades describe encounters with a large, upright, hair-covered figure moving along the edge of farmland and forest. From early scattered accounts to the surge of sightings in the late 1980s and 1990s, and continuing into modern reports, the pattern refuses to fade. Eyewitness testimony, disputed physical traces, and conflicting interpretations have all kept the case alive, while no single explanation fully accounts for every detail. This episode examines the origins of the phenomenon, the consistency of the descriptions, the skeptics who attribute it to misidentified wildlife, and the possibility that something still remains unresolved in the rural dark along Bray Road. ---------------- Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III ----------------- This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience. -----------------
