The record — long form

Bray Road is the beastly — the 'werewolf' that's the label's form, the 'Godfrey wrote' that's the reporter's name. The '1991' is the surfaced — the 'newspaper' that's the coverage's start, the 'skeptical first' that's the writer's stance. The 'seven feet' is the stood — the 'hind legs' that's the walk's odd, the 'red eyes' that's the face's glow.

The 'cornfields' is the coursed — the 'daylight' that's the sightings' odd, the 'deer chase' that's the beast's prey. The 'cars scratched' is the touched — the 'claw marks' that's the evidence's form, the 'thump' that's the contact's sound. Bray Road is the filmed — the '2005' that's the movie's year, the 'Dogman kin' that's the legend's family.

The file keeps Bray Road: the beast's label, the '91 surfacing, the stood height, and the scratched cars.

Bray Road is the archive's Wisconsin file — the cornfield's upright wolf.
