On the Hunt for Cryptids: What Lurks in the Cream City?
Ah, Milwaukee. Home to delicious cheese curds, the ever-flowing Milwaukee River, and... maybe a mythical monster or two? That's right, folks, beneath the veneer of breweries and baseball diamonds, whispers of mysterious creatures pique the curiosity of even the most jaded urban explorer. But what exactly bumps through the night in Brewtown?
The Great Lake Serpent: Loch Ness's Lesser Known Cousin?
Lake Michigan, a vast and sometimes temperamental body of water, has its fair share of folklore. Some claim to have glimpsed a serpentine behemoth slithering through the waves. Is it Nessie's long-lost Great Lakes relative? Probably not, but it makes for a good story (and maybe a catchy jingle for a new summer sausage).
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
The Bray Road Beast: Werewolf on the Loose... or Just a Misunderstood Mutt?
Just a howl away from Milwaukee (okay, maybe a good car ride away) lies the infamous Bray Road. Legend whispers of a hairy bipedal creature with a taste for the finer things in life, like livestock. Is it a werewolf? Maybe! Or perhaps a particularly large and misunderstood coyote with a serious case of the Mondays.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.

The Hodag: A Tall Tale with Short Legs
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.

While not technically a Milwaukee resident, the Hodag deserves an honorable mention. This fearsome beast, dreamt up in the northwoods of Wisconsin, boasts a mishmash of terrifying features: a frog's head, an elephant's grin, and a dinosaur's back. Don't worry, the Hodag was eventually exposed as a hoax, but it serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best cryptids are the ones we invent ourselves.
So You Think You've Seen a Cryptid in Milwaukee?

FAQ: How to Spot a Cryptid in Milwaukee
