(Show Printer-friendly Version)

YEAR: 2005

SEASON: Winter

MONTH: January

STATE: Wisconsin

COUNTY: Jackson County

LOCATION DETAILS: Black River Falls is off Interstate 94. Turn off to Hwy 54. Drive east on 54 for 6 miles then turn left on Hwy K. Hatfield is about 6 miles. The sighting was about half way there.

NEAREST TOWN: Hatfield

NEAREST ROAD: Hwy K

OBSERVED: I work up to 2 a.m. in the morning. I drive home on Hwy K that goes threw some good wooded area near Hatfield WI. Anyway there are some sharp turns and you can't drive too fast on this Highway. As I was coming down the road I saw a dark figure half in the road crossing into the other lane. My head lights had hit about half way up it's body. I first thought it could be a deer, but deers are light brown and this was a dark brown. It was walking upright. On two legs. As my van was getting closer the head lights was moving up it's body I could see more that it was walking. Now it was in the ditch and went into the tree line. As I said it was 2:15 at night and I was alone. I wasn't going to stop or slow down.

ALSO NOTICED: None

OTHER WITNESSES: No

OTHER STORIES: I told my kids the next day, and they said they hear stories at school about out at Wazee Lake. Which is outside of Black River Falls WI.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: 2:15 a.m.

There was snow on the ground

ENVIRONMENT: Lots of trees on both sides of road.


Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Stan Courtney:

I spoke with the witness by phone.

He stated that the animal was at least seven feet tall and walking upright. It was in a definite hurry to get out of the road and into the woods. He was unable to see any facial features and the arms were held close to its side.
