Jefferson County

I literally have 40 more stories collected throughout time.

This one's going to take place in Jefferson County, Wisconsin in 1936.

Long before the Beast of Bray Road became a household name in the 1990s.

Jefferson County, Wisconsin already had whispers of upright canine predators.

In the mid-1930s, the area around the city of Jefferson was heavily agrarian, defined with rolling glacial drumlines, dense oak trees, extensive marshlands, and the Bark River woods.

great depression had slowed industrial growth forcing locals to rely heavily on hunting and trapping to supply extra income and food the local culture was deeply rooted in german and scandinavian folklore which includes old world tales of the werewolf brought by the 19th century immigrants the historic 1936 account was brought to the light decades later by tireless archival research by linda godfrey who combed through old dairy journal records located in local historical society papers and interviews with descendants of witnesses.
