Episode 10 Midwest Lycanthropy (or just Vin Diesel in the woods)
You don’t need to dig deep in the Midwest to run across tales about unusual encounters with canines. But the Goblin Squad really fell in love with one street loyal monster…The Beast of Bray Road! This Wisconsin Werewolf made headlines in the early 90s thanks to some intriguing local reporting. Before the community of Elkhorn knew it, they were national news. Join us as we analyze, debate, and cackle over yet another cryptid with rippling paranormal muscles. Spooky eye shine? Sure. Monster that is definitely not a German shepherd, but maybe the size of a normal man, but possibly a mutant-wolf-coyote-werewolf? Yes. An amazing time hanging out with Brooke and Sarah while you plot your entry into the Goblin Scouts? Absolutely. We know we say this about every episode, but really…this might be our fav episode yet.
Also…any other goblins out there think it would be cool to rock a Bab’s Bray Road Tavern (est. 1991) shirt in honor of our favorite eyewitness?
