Is the Beast of Bray Road calling Illinois home now? This Northern Illinois resident's bizarre encounter is raising questions, and eyebrows.

What Is a Cryptid?

I have a weird fascination with bizarre cryptid stories, but I would 100 percent lose it if I ever saw one in real life.

For those that don't know, a cryptid is an animal or being that people claim exists, but science has never proven is real.

Here's a video featuring some of Illinois's most famous cyptids...

While Illinois may claim creepy cryptids like the Chicago Mothman and Big Muddy Monster, one of Wisconsin's most famous cryptids, (besides The Hodag), is the Beast of Bray Road...but is the Beast venturing into Illinois now?

Was the Beast of Bray Road Spotted in Illinois?

The Phantoms and Monsters: Pulse of the Paranormal website recently posted a comment they received about a run-in someone had with an "upright human-like canine monster towering 3-4 feet taller than my 54-inch (give or take 2-3 inches) tall horse fence" in northern Illinois. (YIKES!!)

Here's the description of what they saw:

I saw the animalistic glowing eyes when I flashed my headlamp in its direction, and a "human-like" figure, as It followed me to the north separated by an electric fence, my firearm drawn, aimed, and unlocked. I didn't have a need to hurt it, so I just gave it space and privacy, as I retreated undoubtedly, fearful, intimidated, confused, and full of wonder, as I still questioned WTF on Earth it was that I was looking at.

Was this the Beast of Bray Road roaming south of the Wisconsin border, or was it something else? We may never know the truth.
