Location:

Ла-Кросс, WI

United States

A 52-year-old man, known only by his Cherokee name "Wohali," and his 25-year-old son were driving along Briggs Road when the headlights of their four-wheel-drive truck saw a bat-like creature six or seven feet tall (1.8-2.1 m) tall, with a wingspan of ten or twelve feet (3-3. 6 m) that almost flew into their windshield.

The driver swerved and stopped the truck on the side of the road in a ditch, both men immediately felt physically ill and began to vomit. The creature had leathery wings, long claws on its paws and arms, and a snarling expression on its face.

Both witnesses somehow sensed that the creature was angry at being seen. It had a large snout with rows of sharp teeth, and the creature "screamed" at them before flying straight into the air.

Both men were sick for the rest of the night.
