Two teen friends are walking through an abandoned military base when they start to notice that they are being shadowed by an unknown entity. An upright wolf eventually manifests, terrifying the pair.

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

“My sighting happened in early 1980s. I was 13-years-old. Sunny, Fall afternoon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Havenwoods, which is on a military base. Back then you could get into the woods. There was a BMX track out there.

Me and my best friend went out there looking for our friends. My bike had a flat tire, so we walked out there. As we got closer to the track, we could hear our friends. When we got to it everyone was gone. So we started to walk back the way we came. As we walked you could hear something walking with us in the woods. We yelled out, ‘Who’s out here?’ No answer. So we continue walking.

Now, it was in front of us, walking on the trail. But we see nothing. Yell again, ‘Who’s out there?’ NO answer again. Kept walking. Now, on other side of us, you can hear and sense something walking with us, but invisible to the eye. Now, I’m afraid. We turn back around, starting to walk back towards the track and, again, in front of this direction the same thing. I’m really frightened. I knew the railroad tracks were to my left, so I said to my buddy, ‘Let’s go the tracks and get the hell out of here!’

I turn and ten feet from me is standing, on its hind legs next to a tree, is a creature I have never seen! 8 to 10 feet tall, very dark, well-built wolf. It’s staring at us with its mouth open, like I’m its prey! I froze. I thought I screamed, but nothing came out. It felt like 5 minutes, BUT was only seconds. We were frozen. This thing looked through my soul. I couldn’t move. I regained some bit of composure and we ran like the wind to a business outside the woods. Hammering on the glass door which was locked. It was a Sunday afternoon, they were closed. Ran like the wind home through a creek.

I told old my mom, but she told me I had seen a dog or someone was trying to scare us. The thing is, in every direction we turned, it was walking with us! Unseen! Until it wanted to be seen. It was a sunny afternoon.

I believe in the supernatural ever since then. I’ve been in those woods plenty of times after that, never seen anything again. Granted, it took me years to go back out there. Back in the day there was a prisoner of war camp there (1940s) and a missile site (1950s – 60s). I know there are a lot tunnels out there, but the government filled in and flooded them. So I guess there would be plenty of places for this thing to live underground.

Anybody else in the area have an experience like mine? This thing was invisible tracking us until it wanted to be seen. I feel lucky to have lived through that. To me the closest thing to what it looked like was the werewolf on ‘American Werewolf in London’ film.” TK
