Beth Kjersti, a resident of Madison, contacted the Singular Fortean Society lately to describe her encounter with two unusual wolf-like creatures.
Approximately a decade ago, on a Sunday morning in the spring or summer, around 2:30 a.m., Beth was driving home from work through the Midvale Heights area in Madison.
At the time, she was employed as a “shot-girl” at a bar in nearby Sun Prairie, but she emphasized that neither she nor her co-workers had been drinking or overtired.
“I was on a residential street just blocks from my house when I spotted two enormous wolf-like animals darting across the road in front of me; I was shocked and slammed on the brakes, but they were gone before I could get a decent look,” she told investigator Tobias Wayland.
Honestly, this recollection has stuck with me more than any other animal crossing the road because their appearance was so peculiar. It resembled two dogs standing side by side (similar to how sled dogs are attached), but they were GIANT—bigger than a wolf and more like a bear—solid white/silver in color, but their features were missing. It resembled a silhouette and a shadow.

It resembled a projection that rapidly swept across the street from right to left. I do not recall them touching the ground. They moved irregularly. It was like a glitch in reality, or as if they suddenly emerged from another realm and spilled into the roadway in front of me.
It made no sense, but it didn’t frighten me; I was just astonished that I almost hit them, but I wasn’t terrified since, even if I had, they were probably just an apparition. And since I believe in these things nonetheless, I just said “that was strange” and headed home.
There were no other vehicles present, and the incident lasted approximately three to five seconds. There are no other lights on or unusual weather. There is no forest nearby, nor is there any other reason for two enormous wolves to be prowling the area. It resembled an instantaneous projection.
She continued by describing the creatures in greater detail, stating that they were “comparable to a poor child’s picture of a large wolf. A lion-sized individual with exaggerated, lumpy features.”
“It resembled a blur or smudge, as if the child drew its form and then brushed his fingers over it “She stated, “However, I recall my head shouting ‘WOLF!’ before I understood it wasn’t a wolf since it was as large as a lion.”
Beth was merely temporarily shocked by her experience, not really terrified.
She stated, “It was a genuinely bizarre ‘huh?’ experience, after which I went home and to bed.”

Beth’s supplied map of the region. “The X indicates where I was living at the time, and the star indicates approximately where I saw the image. I cannot recall if it occurred before or after Tocara Lane. Presidential Lane is not a particularly long or rural lane, so the presence of two enormous wolves made little sense to me. They were simply not moving normally. They rushed too quickly across the street and into the shadows “She stated,
Beth’s experience is reminiscent of two encounters with odd creatures in Beloit, Wisconsin.
The most recent of these occurred in 2019 outside of Rockton, Illinois.
In this instance, a guy and his wife were traveling home at 11 p.m. on August 8, 2019 when they observed an animal they could not identify.
“[My wife] observed light-reflecting eyes and concluded it was a typical animal” (opossum or raccoon). I noticed movement and thought it was a deer because its front legs were longer than those of a canine “The gentleman stated. “Then, as it crossed in front of us on the road, we recognized it was not a deer. Or any other plainly identifiable species. I grew up in rural locations and am familiar with a variety of country animals. It was neither a coyote nor a fox. It had a round head and a flat face, with neither a nose nor a muzzle. It had no discernible ears, or they were quite close to its head. In the car’s headlights, the color was practically mud-red in a dark brown hue. It had a long, slender tail that curled underneath as it loped down the road. It walked in a manner that could only be compared to that of an ape or bear, as if walking on all fours was faster yet unnecessary. My wife and I compared its movement to that of a gibbon. It left a strange impact on us both, as we cannot agree on what kind of creature it could be.”

Greek Mythology Chimera, having a lion’s head and a goat’s body.
This report describes a chimera that is disturbingly similar to something a wife and her husband apparently saw near Beloit, Wisconsin in 2013. This sighting occurred only eight miles to the north of the last one.
According to the wife’s account on the incident in 2013:
It moved with cat-like grace and a long, flicking tail. It did not resemble a cat, except for the head. It was dark, but not black, with a mixture of brindled, dark browns and black. The dog-like fur had a glossy sheen and was short. It had a gigantic head in the shape of a triangle, and its eyes were enormous and green. The head appeared to be so sturdy that a baseball bat would shatter if it were struck. It had no nose like a dog or bear, since it was flat like a cat. It had a triangular torso and extremely powerful legs that dipped like a bulldog’s. The rear end consisted of a smaller triangle with legs that separated like a German Shepherd. This was a large, muscular creature. I estimate that the top of its head would have reached my chin, about four feet. Approximately equal in length to the body was the tail.
The earlier witness added, “What was puzzling was that the creature moved like a cat yet did not resemble a cat.” “I had the impression the entire time that it was aware of our presence and considered the scenario humorous. Additionally, the longer one viewed it, the more difficult it became to see. Like its edges were blurring. It sat down in a cat-like ‘C’ position approximately 30 feet from the road. It was staring at us, and I was doing the same. The longer I saw it, however, the image almost appeared pixelated.”
The most recent witness expressed a similar sensation of extreme weirdness throughout his encounter.
“Even as I write this, my mind is still attempting to figure out what the peculiar feeling was. The entire encounter lasted only a few seconds “he said.
As for Beth, she was unaware of the other sightings in southern Wisconsin, although she conceded they resembled her own.
“The pixelation reference piqued my interest,” she remarked. Yes, it was comparable but not identical to that.
