Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Medick travels to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, to investigate the "Beast of Bray Road." Since the 1980s, residents of the area have reported sightings of a hairy, wolflike creature with glowing red eyes — leaving residents terrified.Resident Lee Hampel is not afraid to take on the beast. A math and computer science teacher who owns a farm along the road, Hampel has spent 13 years collecting evidence of the beast. Hampel said he’s seen the beast three times, describing the five-toed, seven-pad tracks he’s cast. He says photos show a 7-foot creature, and roadkill left out on his property has vanished or turned up mutilated, while trail-camera images show a "black mist" and flashing orbs. Hampel believes the beast may be tied to UFOs. "I have eyewitnesses, but I also have evidence. I have facts. I have data," Hampel says.Follow Meagan:https://x.com/Producer_Meaganinstagram.com/ProducerMeagantiktok.com/ProducerMeagan#BeastofBrayRoad #cryptid #mystery CREDITS:Host: Meagan MedickExecutive Producers: Andy Gipson, Meagan Medick, Cam DowningProducer: Will TomasiField Producer: Juliette JohnsonPhotographer: Cameron Downing, Zachary LawlerDirector/Editor: Cameron DowningNewsNation`s Unreported with Meagan Medick is built on the idea that some of the most important stories are the ones that don`t make the headlines.
