Ah-hoooo! Werewolves of Wisconsin: Why an Elkhorn legend refuses to die
Daily Herald – 29 October, 2026
A fascinating look at the Beast of Bray Road, a legendary werewolf-like creature reportedly sighted in Wisconsin since 1936.
Reports of a strange, wolf-like creature roaming Bray Road in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, have circulated for decades. Witnesses describe a towering, hairy beast with pointed ears, sharp claws and an unsettling ability to walk on two legs.
The legend gained considerable attention during the late 1980s and early 1990s, when journalist and cryptozoologist Linda Godfrey began investigating sightings and collecting eyewitness accounts.
Today, the Beast of Bray Road is an established part of local folklore, attracting cryptid enthusiasts and Halloween visitors alike. Some believe it is an undiscovered animal, while others remain convinced something supernatural is lurking in the countryside.
After almost 90 years, the mystery continues. So, is Wisconsin home to a werewolf? You decide!

Five Spooky Odd News Mysteries for Halloween
United Press International (UPI) · 28 October 2026
From mysterious objects washing up on beaches to disappearing islands, 2026 has delivered some decidedly strange headlines.
With Halloween approaching, UPI has rounded up five unusual mysteries making headlines this year. And while not all involve the supernatural, they’re certainly enough to make you look twice!
Among the stories is a mysterious metal sphere discovered on a Queensland beach. Authorities investigated the unusual object before identifying it as space debris from a foreign rocket’s fuel system.
Other strange happenings include a floating island that appeared to move across a Canadian reservoir, bizarre cat-shaped figures discovered in Florida, mysterious droppings left by a mountain lion and an unidentified metal cylinder washed ashore after stormy weather.
Not every mystery involves ghosts and ghouls. Sometimes, the real world is every bit as strange as the supernatural!

WITCHES OF PENDLE HILL: GHOST HUNTERS EXPECT A BUSY HALLOWEEN
Lancashire, England · 29 October 2026
Daily Star
Pendle Hill has long been associated with witchcraft, folklore and some of England’s darkest history. Now, ghost hunters believe the infamous landmark could be particularly active this Halloween.
Paranormal investigator Robert Pulme has reportedly noticed an increase in accounts of unusual experiences around the area in recent weeks.
The hill is closely associated with the infamous 1612 Pendle witch trials, in which twelve people were accused of witchcraft and nine were hanged.
Visitors have described feeling uneasy while climbing the hill, while local folklore includes stories of phantom monks and strange sensations. Could the area’s dark history be contributing to its reputation, or is there something else going on?
One thing’s certain: Pendle Hill has quite a story to tell.

A GHOSTLY ROOMMATE? NEW ORLEANS MANSION COMES WITH A RESIDENT SPIRIT
New Orleans, Louisiana · 26 October 2026 Only In Your State
Fancy booking a holiday with a resident ghost? A historic mansion in New Orleans’ Garden District is attracting attention for its allegedly haunted third-floor bedroom.
The Parks-Bowman Mansion is said to have a rather unusual resident: the spirit of a young girl wearing a yellow dress, believed by the owners to have died in the 1890s.
The hosts say neighbours began telling them about the girl not long after they moved into the property in 2005. Reports of sightings have continued over the years, usually around the upper porch and hallway.
Apparently, she’s considered a rather gentle presence, although not everyone has been fortunate enough to see her.
The mansion has even featured in Airbnb’s collection of supposedly haunted stays.
Would you spend a night in a bedroom with a ghostly roommate? Personally, I’d want to know whether she pays her share of the accommodation!

SHADOW FIGURE CAUGHT ON CAMERA IN 270-YEAR-OLD FARMHOUSE?
Cheshire, England · 28 October 2026
Coast to Coast AM
Our final story takes us to a centuries-old farmhouse in Cheshire, where a paranormal investigator believes she may have captured something rather unsettling.
Lottie Pschenyckyj visited the property with a friend after hearing reports that it was haunted. During their investigation, the pair reportedly heard loud bangs and other unexplained noises.
But it was only when reviewing the footage afterwards that Lottie noticed what appeared to be a shadowy figure moving away from them.
She also believes footsteps can be heard when the recording is slowed down.
Naturally, sceptics have suggested that the mysterious figure could simply be an unusual play of light and shadow.
So, ghostly visitor or camera trick? We’ll leave that one for you to decide.
