Art begins the show by setting the stage with his signature greeting, then introduces the evening’s topic, werewolves, with guest Linda Godfrey. Linda, an expert on strange creatures, clarifies that she doesn’t believe in Hollywood-style werewolves, which undergo physical transformations. Instead, she discusses encounters with beings that resemble werewolves but lack human characteristics. These creatures, often described as large, upright canines, exhibit eerie behaviors, such as chasing people only to vanish at the last moment. Linda also draws parallels between werewolf sightings and the legendary Chupacabra, noting differences in physical features and behaviors.
The conversation shifts to the Beast of Bray Road, a creature reported in Wisconsin that led Linda to investigate the phenomenon. She recounts her early encounters with locals who described seeing this beast, which, though wolf-like, behaved unlike any known animal. These reports, which Linda initially found hard to believe, came from credible witnesses across various walks of life. She highlights the creature’s bizarre behavior, including standing on hind legs and exhibiting what seemed like a sneer or leer, which deeply unnerved those who saw it.
Art and Linda also explore the possibility that these creatures may be more than just physical beings. Linda shares her view that they might have a dual existence, appearing in our world as corporeal entities but capable of returning to a “spirit world” or another dimension. This theory aligns with Native American beliefs about such creatures and explains their elusiveness and resistance to capture or harm by humans. The discussion touches on various reports of people encountering these creatures, often describing them as exuding a sense of pure evil, especially when they have red eyes—a feature that particularly frightens Art.
As the show progresses, the conversation delves into how these creatures manage to stay hidden despite the expansion of human civilization. Linda notes that, unlike other elusive animals like mountain lions, these beings rarely, if ever, appear on trail cameras. This leads to speculation about their intelligence and possible supernatural abilities. The discussion concludes with an exploration of the phenomenon of footprints appearing out of nowhere, further suggesting the creatures’ otherworldly nature.
