The Beast of Bray Road
01:21:48|On this week's paranormal episode, we dive into a cryptid that haunts the backroads of rural Wisconsin. First sighted in 1936, the beast has appeared to townsfolk in the dim and dark, often seen lurking on the side of the road eating carrion. It's most often described as a huge creature that appears to be something of a cross between a man and a wolf. editor of our spotify ad: https://www.fiverr.com/johrie sources: https://www.milwaukeemag.com/the-legend-of-the-beast-of-bray-road/https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Beast_of_Bray_Roadhttps://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/paranormal/creatures-and-monsters/the-beast-of-bray-road.htmlhttps://nicolewolverton.com/2023/10/monster-of-the-month-the-beast-of-bray-road/https://www.legendsofamerica.com/beast-of-bray-road/https://allthatsinteresting.com/beast-of-bray-roadhttps://www.sixt.com/magazine/tips/beast-of-bray-road-wisconsin-legend/https://hangar1publishing.com/blogs/cryptids/the-beast-of-bray-road?srsltid=AfmBOopA3PphUKdnIwur-P8SvgnN2bl7QC2Xb-Fw1KbaeaV6zbLiYK5Nhttps://www.americanghostwalks.com/blog/2021/12/25/296-the-beast-of-bray-road-returns-the-30th-anniversary-with-linda-godfreytheme song by Riley H. on Fiverr !help honor Ms Shirley by supporting her organization Beauty 2 the Streetz: https://b2ts.org/get-involved/gofundme to support Keith Porter's daughters: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-franceolas-granddaughters-future?attribution_id=sl:7ac675f7-6e79-4f21-b419-f0aee97ad4d7&lang=en_US&ts=1768018709&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp17_ta&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=native_optionspetition to end immigration raids by ICE: https://action.aclu.org/send-message/stop-ices-attack-our-communitiescharities to check out:The Loveland Foundation https://thelovelandfoundation.org/For the Gworls https://www.forthegworls.com/homeRAINN https://rainn.org/Doctors Without Borders/MSF https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/Save the Children https://www.savethechildren.org/social media:instagram.com/wevealwaysbeenweirdtiktok @wevealwaysbeenweirdtwitter x.com/wabwpodemail us! wevealwaysbeenweird@gmail.comlove you!The Alabama Solution, a Look at Alabama's Corrupt Prison System
