The forgotten ghost town of Meridean sits on the Chippewa River west of Eau Claire. Not only is the area thought to be haunted by the siren-like ghost of Mary Dean, it also seems like a favorite prowling grounds of hellhounds. According to local legend, nearly 60 years ago a parked truck was found down at the boat landing of Meridean. It was believed that two young kids who had gone down to the area and parked their vehicle were brutally torn apart by some fierce wild beast. When police looked inside the vehicle, they discovered blood splattered all over the interior, but the bodies of the victims were missing. Further analysis uncovered clumps of hair from some unidentified animal, and the bodies of the youngsters were never found.
The next man to make a report was a big burly biker, the exact type of guy who wouldn’t be scared by anything. He stated that he and a couple of his friends decided to take their bikes out to see the ghost of Mary Dean. On their arrival, the bikers were able to see that the Dogs appeared to be nearly transparent – the group could almost see right through them. The second thing that freaked them out was the fact that the group exited the area at a quick pace, but the Hellhounds had no problem keeping up with them, no matter how fast they went.With a gruesome-looking Hellhound running right next to him, the man kicked out his foot and attempted to hit the ferocious Dog. Much to his surprise, his foot simply went right through the Creature. This aggressive action seemed to work, because after the kick, the Dogs simply disappeared into the night. Fearing that the Dogs were out to harm them, the bikers quickly decided to scurry out of the area as fast as they could.
Within a few hundred yards of the boathouse is another report made to Michael Bachman. A Motorist Spots ‘Dogman’ in Wisconsin. 2020 - A man driving through the Eu Claire region in Wisconsin, spotted an unidentified animal he says he looked like a two-legged wolf. David M., a Canadian businessman who provided a last name but requested to be kept anonymous, told Cryptozoology News on Monday that he was driving along Interstate 94 the night of Oct. 1 when he came upon the alleged creature. “I was hoping to make it to the casino in the dells and stay there,” he says. “As I drove along, I noticed a figure moving towards the right side of the road.”
David described it as a black 6 to 7 feet tall creature and “fuzzy and shaggy in appearance”. “It was standing upright, slightly leaned forward.” He added that he could not figure out a head or upper limbs because it was “a quick glance”, but that there was one thing about the animal that really captured his attention. “Its legs. They were slender and backwards from that of a human… and were dog-like in anatomy with long sloped cannon bones. The cannons were sloped nearly 45 degrees and very long, about 3 feet.” The strange biped, he says, walked with a “very peculiar gait”. “It was sort of bobbing up and down, but athletic.” Then, he recalls, the “figure” took about three steps and was out of sight.
“I did not see it cross in front of me as when it came into view was just as it came into my headlights range. It was not running or moving with haste, just bobbing along in a brisk walk. I will never forget the strange gait, and the way the legs looked. It looked like it could run very fast if it had to or wanted to.” The Canadian businessman says he is sure that it was not human or an animal he had ever seen before. “Not a deer, bear, cow, elk, horse, or any other animal. The closest animal comparison I could make would be a black panther with shaggier coat, slender, walking upright and with longer legs… or like some sort of hairy centaur.”
And Dave, who claims he had always thought Bigfoots and “other cryptids” were hoaxes, says skepticism has quickly dissipated and now believes he could have been looking at the Wisconsin Wolfman. “I am from Ontario and had never been through Wisconsin before in my life. I had not heard of any Wisconsin werewolf or anything of the sort before this. Have now looked at some of the photos around online and a few appear very similar, but what I saw seemed a bit more lanky,” he said.
He provided a sketch of the Creature he saw.

The Highway 37, Red Eyed Beast - In 2001, A woman who was a bit shaken up by her very odd late-night experience. On what seemed like just another drive home, the woman was making her way south down Highway 37 when something odd caught her eye. Instinctively, she slowed down to grab a glimpse of what she initially thought was an extremely large Dog. As her vehicle slowed, the real shape of the Creature emerged. Crouching off to the side of the road was a large, heavily-muscled Creature whose size was similar to a large Bear, yet its shape was more like that of a Dog, Wolf, or Panther. The Creature was on all fours and cast an intimidating presence with its shimmering black skin. The woman didn’t dwell too long on the Creature’s shape because something else had shifted her attention. What the woman saw next would give her nightmares. It was approximately 11:30pm, which meant that the country sky was extremely dark. This fact made it even easier for the woman to notice that the mysterious Creature lurking on the side of the road had glowing Red Eyes that brightly pierced through the dark of night. The woman was now highly frightened, yet at the same time she felt almost mesmerized by the creature’s blazing gaze. The glowing red that showcased the eyes also seemed to be emanating from the beast’s mouth as well. The frightened woman hit the gas and torn off toward home.
Don't Travel on U.S. Highway 53, Beware of the Eau Claire Beast - The next witness to the beast was an employee of an Eau Claire TV station who worked a late shift and left work around 11pm each night. The woman was heading home south out of town on U.S. Highway 53 when her headlights flashed against the outline of some creature positioned on the side of the road. Slowing down to avoid any possibly collision, the woman was amazed to see a very large Panther-like Creature off in the gully. The woman thought that it had to be a Bear, yet it was so muscular, the body type didn’t quite fit. Perhaps the woman’s headlights startled the beast, because it quickly darted for the safety of the brush. Initially the woman thought little of her encounter; it wasn’t until she arrived home that the bizarreness of it set in, and she decided to report her experience.
Reports of the unknown creature date back over 100 years. In March 1908, the La Crosse Tribune ran an article titled “Beast Causes Terror.” The article reported that a “wild beast” had been terrorizing residents in Eau Claire County. Adding additional fear to an already watchful community were the complaints from local farmers who claimed that some night-stalking creature had devoured their sheep and calves. On several occasions farmers would awake to find that some of their livestock had been torn to shreds by a vicious predator. While bloody animal carcasses were one thing, matters got even more disturbing when the story broke that the creature had quietly stalked behind a farmer’s young son as he was making his way home. Luckily no human victims were reported during the scare, and slowly over the years the terror of the beast somewhat subsided, that is until recent sightings revived the legend.
