In her books, author Linda Godfrey thoroughly details an incident that occurred in 2006 when a father and son witnessed a human-size winged creature during a nighttime drive. The encounter left them mentally shaken and physically ill.
"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."

The reports on this site are presumably fiction, using random Wisconsin place names in the stories listed there. Even so, you might get a kick out of reading them.
"A beheaded man was spotted giving a directed trip of Cliffwood Bluff to a troop of phantoms late in the night. There have been further accounts concerning this ghost in the vicinity. Locals who have perceived this ghost allege this ghost gets pleasure from startling folks who have the nerve to upset the quiet in La Crosse."

In her books, author Linda Godfrey details the sighting of a reptilian terror that was reported on the banks of the Black River in the mid 1990's by a father and son.
"They saw what they described as a "lizard man," covered in brownish scales and very reptilian-looking. It did not have its mouth open or arms extended Around the same time, a state DNR warden and separately, a group of highway workers saw what they described as a "reptile man" on Hwy. 13 near Medford. It also possessed wings and was able to fly out of their view (see Hunting the American Werewolf, p. 240-245) As I noted in "Hunting," the Medford spot was very near the Black River which winds up from LaCrosse!"
