I’m not on Facebook, because, well, I’m just not hip that way. The loss is mine, though, because if I were on Facebook, then I could sign up for a Halloween-eve expedition to search for Beast of Bray Road.
WalworthCountyToday.com reports on the search: a hunt from 9 p.m. Oct. 30 through 3 a.m. Oct. 31, 2010 to find the elusive creature. The story includes a link to the Facebook sign-up page.
Local author and crypto-zoologist Linda Godfrey wrote about the beast in 1991, in Tracking Down the Beast of Bray Road. Godfrey’s story included eyewitness descriptions, like this one:
He was brownish-gray … and he had big teeth and fangs. And he looked at me. He turned his head to look at me.
It was about the size of an average man, 5-foot-7 maybe, about 150 pounds. It was holding the thing it was eating palms up, with the real long claws and the pointed ears. He had a big long nose and a long chin, like this on this picture (she pointed to a drawing of a “werewolf” from a library book).
The search sounds like a fun time.
Best wishes, intrepid volunteers.
