Episode 54: The Beast of Bray Road Part 1 - Werewolf Panic!

The small town of Elkhorn, Wisconsin holds a wild secret. According to local legend, a werewolf stalks their back roads, terrorizing motorists and feeding on the carcasses of dead animals. This creature, described as a massive, bipedal humanoid with a dog’s head, has been linked to all kinds of weirdness, from Satanic cults to religious beliefs to native Sasquatch populations. Spawning an entire subset of research, these “dogmen” are the disgraced nephew of cryptozoology: a story that just won’t die, and one which many think weakens their entire stance on unknown animals.
