Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
Along a quiet farm road outside Elkhorn, from the late 1980s into the 1990s, people kept reporting the same thing: a large, upright, wolf-like animal, seen at close range, often in headlights, by witnesses who had nothing to gain by saying so. A local reporter, Linda Godfrey, took the accounts seriously enough to document them properly, and the name stuck. There is no physical evidence, and the honest reading is misidentified bears, big dogs or coyotes in poor light. The reports themselves, though, are real, careful and worth reading.
Bray Road, near Elkhorn (Walworth County). Source: Real, carefully documented sightings; no physical evidence. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
