The Beast of Bray Road is highly unlikely.


I had been up to Lake Geneva WI area last week which is where Bray Road is around and it occurred to me how unlikely the Beast of Bray Rd would be. For those who aren't familiar with the Lake Geneva area, it is a popular resort city which folks from the Chicago and Milwaukee areas visit and has a population of over 7,000 people. A couple miles north of Lake Geneva is a city called Elkhorn which has a population similar to Lake Geneva. Milwaukee is about an hour NE of the Lake Geneva-Elkhorn area and has a metro area of 1,739,497. Directly east about 20 miles or so is the Racine-Kenosha area with a metro area of approximately 200,000. The point is if look the radius of nearly 120 miles you are looking at a population that is nearly 2 million people. And that is not counting the Chicago metro area (9,785,747 people) which a part of Southern Wisconsin is in. So to have this large about of people and the need to have housing developments, infrastructure, and industry, made much of the area lose the natural resources in the area which would have made it harder for these creatures to survive with lack of appropriate food and shelter for these creatures to survive considering that there about 400-800 lbs. unless like the bears in New Jersey they would be going into residential areas to find garbage and so to eat. But that hasn't happened that at least we know of. Also you would think that with the population in this particular area you would think there would be more sightings of these creatures than that have been reported. If there was any areas that would be more suited for these creatures would be more like North Wisconsin past Green Bay that doesn't have as strong a metro area like SE Wisconsin has. Maybe if it were 150 or even 100 years ago I could possibly realistically see this creature living in the region. But in the last 50 years ago with the population boom in the Midwest it just realistically it couldn't happen. So that's why it's unlikely it would survive it the areas that's it been reported sighted in the American Werewolf episode. Especially in the Kenosha area were it is a much more urban area than the Lake Geneva-Elkhorn area.

BTW, I don't doubt the sincerity of the people who sighted the creature. Whether it was the couple, the cute girl with her two friends, the artist or anyone else featured, I'm sure they saw something that they believed to be the dogman. But as with so many other instances it probably was misidentification or just mass hysteria of people simply seeing what they wanted to see. It seems to boil down to that fact!


CHICAGO ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you. There must be a lot of druggies living in Wisconsin!!!

Justice for Caylee Anthony! Death penalty for Casey Anthony!

There's druggies all over they place. Like at Point Pleasant WV in the mid to late 60s. You know they were growing and smoking the good stuff there. How else could you explain the Mothman???!!!

CHICAGO ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right on about Bray Road!!

Yes there are a ton of "druggies", "potheads" and plain old drunks around that part of Wisconsin, well around all parts of Wisconsin!! Even if a mythical creature like that existed it would be absolutly impossible to hide from the civilization in that area.
