Did Witness Encounter the BULL VALLEY MONSTER in Woodstock, Illinois?

A Woodstock, Illinois man is walking to his friend's home at night when he is stalked and later observes a tall humanoid figure with the head of a wolf. He believes it was the 'Bull Valley Monster.'

I received the following account:

"At the time of this incident, in the summer of 2017, I lived in Woodstock, Illinois, a suburb northwest of Chicago. I was about half an hour away from the Wisconsin border. This cryptid has been called different names since the late 60s. It was known as the 'Bull Valley Monster' on the Illinois side. I recall my uncle speaking about it when I was 12 and he seemed nervous even talking about it, but he never saw it. The general public probably knows it (or them) as the 'Beast of Bray Road.'

At the time I worked a night shift so on my days off I was a night owl. That night a friend had invited me over. It was nearly 11 at night. I crossed the highway and got on this bike trail near the train tracks. To the left of me was this large field and on my right train tracks and the highway. After I got to the point where some trees covered the field I got this weird feeling. All of a sudden I heard movement in the trees, thought it was a deer perhaps because 'it' was moving the smaller trees as it moved forward. My first instinct was to give it some room to pass until I heard this growl and my thought was 'Uh oh, a badger.' Then a second later it hit me that this was at least as large as a deer and moving large tree branches, not a badger. Then it growled about ten times louder.

Now it was moving my way faster and breaking branches. I immediately turned and ran across the train track and onto the highway not even looking to see if any cars were coming. Once I hit the other side of the street I didn't stop running for about fifty feet and turned my head and saw about three cars coming. I looked across the road and could see a crouching humanoid shape with a wolf head profile. There was a hint of bright red eyes seen in the darkness. It was at least 7 feet tall hiding between 2 train cars watching me. It seemed to be scared to be seen. I ran and did not stop running for about 3 blocks. Did not stop till I reached this well-lit area where there was this cluster of factories and a closed auto store. Even then I did not feel safe till I reached the old downtown area. There was a 24-hour gas station and a few open bars. I slowed my pace and walked a block to my friend's house. All the time I was trying to absorb what had happened.

It was a bipedal animal that had probably stalked me long before it charged me. But I will say that I 'sensed' it. That was the weirdest thing, the sense of uneasiness that preceded it. That and the loud growl that was very inhuman.

Anyway, I got to my friend's house and he had his front door open. He asked if I was alright. I just pushed past him and grabbed 2 beers from the case we had not finished the night before and said, "Man, sit down. You're not going to believe this." We spent the rest of that night talking about my encounter. We were throwing out all these theories about what it could actually be and if it might be able to walk through dimensions and that is why no corpses of these things are ever found. This was something that was "unclassifiable." D
