the manbat of wisconsin part 3 of our halloween series

dear readers

welcome to our third and final part of our 3 part halloween series, we end it with a creepy sighting of a man-bat in wisconsin.


This sighting happened Tuesday, Sept. 26 to a 53-year old LaCrosse man who prefers to be known only by his Cherokee name, Wohali, and the man's 25-year old son.
on Briggs Road near LaCrosse between 9:15 and 9:30 pm. The creature almost flew into their windshield, was an estimated 6-7 feet tall, sported batlike, leathery wings with a span of 10-12 feet, long claws on its feet and "hands" and a snarling expression on the face. They both somehow felt it was angry it had been seen.

"When we turned onto Briggs Road," wrote Wohali in his hand-written account, "our little 4-wheel drive truck's headlights caught (in mid-air) a bat-like, man-like creature (we almost smacked it with our windshield) that was six or seven feet tall with abouta ten or twelve foot wingspan."

The large muzzle featured rows of sharp teeth, and the creature "screamed" at them before sailing straight up into the air. The encounter made both men physically ill, sick to their stomachs and vomiting the rest of the night. Wohali stated that he did not know whether the creature had been on the road and then bounced up at them, or if it had been flying at the time it came at their car. He was sure the thing was a physical, actual creature, he said, but like nothing he had ever seen before.

Their reaction to this sighting? Immediate illness. In seconds, both became physically ill, and the son, who was driving, swerved and then pulled the truck over into the ditch so he could vomit. The son, who wishes his identity kept private, vomited six or seven times. Wohali retched, as well, and both remained sick for an entire week. The son was so frightened by the encounter that he refuses to discuss it. But Wohali told me he feels it's important for people to "know what is out there," and wants the story to be told..

The drawing above includes more details than he actually saw during the few seconds of the encounter, he said, but "the face was hard to see clearly because the mouth and teeth were so prominent. It looked hungry.""Sorry about the cartoonish drawing," he wrote, "but it was so unreal that all I really remember is what you see."

Wohali further described it as having "distended ribs, long sort of human legs with claws, huge bat-like wings with 'arms' sort of attached, I remember the teeth and the scream we heard was terrifying."

Wohali added, "I've been living in this valley all my life and have seen some strange things, after all the Mississippi Upper Wildlife Refuge is the largest in the country and right out my back door. It hides lots of strange creatures. But I've NEVER seen anything like this. Rent the movie Bram Stoker, Dracula, the Dracula creature looks like it or better yet like the one in Van Helsing." this is not the first sighting in wisconsin, reptile men sightings and werewolves have been sighted, but i'm reminded of a flying creature sighting in vietnaim. this is sighting occured during Vietnam War. Although the eyewitness reports involving this incident are thin, they are compeling. According to the reports, in 1969, somewhere in South Vietnam, three U.S. marines - while on guard duty near Da Nang - bore witness to an incredible sight.

The three soldiers claimed that three, unclothed, hair covered, feminine figures (all of whom were approximately 5-feet in height) flew past their post in the dead of night. The marines claimed that they could hear the leathery flapping of their membranous, ebony wings, as the fur covered females soared above. What these creatures were or are is anyone's guess, and so far as our research team can tell, no other accounts of these creatures were reported during the Vietnam War".

could these sightings be related? are the vietnam flyers and the manbat of wisconsin?
so this halloween look out and look up becuase you nevr know what you'll see...

love and peace,

Alex the patient hunter gets the prey Stallwitz
