Strange Phenomenon

Tales of a half-man half-wolf transforming beneath a full moon to stalk the innocent have preyed on our fear and awe of the wild for centuries. Wisconsin is not usually thought of in relation to werewolf folklore, but in the small town of Elkhorn strange reports of a humanoid wolf spurred a global media sensation. To the locals' shock, headlines coming from the region proclaimed to tell the story of, “The Terror of the Wisconsin Wolfman.”

Much like the spirit it derives its name from, the anomalies contained within this fenced off farm appear to shape shift from UFOs to dangerous unknown animals and everything in between. Starting as a dark family secret, the land has had many uses — including the site of a hidden government research center and the location for a hit television series. To this day, researchers continue to examine the area hoping to unlock answers contained within.
