Stories about werewolves are most often devoted to the distant past, when people were too superstitious and perceived the world from a mystical point of view … However, the events that will be described below are unfolding today. Six years ago, in the vicinity of the English town of Stafford, there were rumors of strange creatures similar to dogs or wolves.
On April 26, 2007, the local Stafford Post reported, "The appearance of a werewolf-like creature near the outskirts of Stafford prompted a group of paranormal researchers from Midland to come to our area." What happened? Many locals talked about how near the German War Cemetery, located next to the Camp Road leading from Stafford to Cannock, they met a creature that looked like a wolf, but moved on its hind legs.
According to some, noticing that he was being watched, the beast hid in the nearby bushes. Since then, the local press has been constantly writing about "Stafford werewolves". “A flock of dungeon creatures appears in the Cannock area to hunt,” reports the Chase Post. “They look a lot like werewolves or yeti. Perhaps they are responsible for the disappearance of pets, they probably eat them. " One of the researchers of the paranormal suggested that these are representatives of a long-extinct ancient species that lived on earth in the Stone Age …
One of the residents believes that mysterious creatures live underground. He allegedly saw them climbing out of abandoned wells to hunt deer. Indeed, the area around Cannock has been mined for centuries, leaving wells leading to abandoned mines.
It is also true that in recent years many domestic animals, mainly dogs, have disappeared in these places. “It is enough to ask anyone who walks their pet near the German War Cemetery about this,” writes the Stafford Post.
Leigh Brickley, author of the Cannock County Paranormal blog, says in one of his notes: "… Three teenagers who stopped to smoke in a parking lot near Brockton (a place that is considered the entrance to Cannock County), told about a horrifying sight: Fortunately, from a distance of 20 meters, the creature did not notice them and soon ran away, but the sight made an indelible impression on the teenagers."
Do you think this happens only in England? About ten years ago, amazing events took place in the Poltava region. In September 2003, a wolf unexpectedly attacked a cow herd and dragged away a young bull … In two months, the bloodthirsty wolf killed more than 20 pigs. He came to the farms at night when people were asleep. Traps and traps did not help: the beast seemed to guess in advance where they were installed, and bypassed them. The foresters only threw up their hands - where is the animal hiding, because the forest around is small, sparse, they combed it a hundred times, but they never found the robber …
Only one early winter morning in front of the hunters a silhouette flashed, rather than a wolf, but a monster covered with thick hair … And then people began to disappear … The villagers organized voluntary self-defense units that patrolled the neighborhood. In the end, the police were involved. It turned out that all the incidents took place within the same zone - near the old abandoned farm, nicknamed Kabanyim. A group of eleven people - policemen and forestry workers - went there to hunt for him.

In a dilapidated wooden house, a hole was dug in the earthen floor - a glacier. There they found an empty wolf den. Next to the pit lay a pile of clothes and a pair of Salamander shoes. Everything is almost new. Who could have owned these things? - the visitors were perplexed. They set up an ambush, in the hope that the wolf would come "home." He came only at dawn, when people had already lost hope. In front of the hunters, the animal ran across the field. It was huge, with shaggy hair of a reddish hue. Moved strangely, as if dancing.
Before reaching the farm, the animal rolled over its head - and suddenly everyone saw in its place a completely naked man! "Werewolf!" - one of the men shouted and fired - obviously, the nerves were lost. The bullet hit the stranger in the side. He fell to the ground and … turned into a wolf again! The beast hobbled away and was soon out of sight.
Confused people did not catch up with him. When they caught themselves and rushed to the place where the shot overtook this creature, they saw blood stains and traces of bare feet on the snow. They suddenly broke off, and then the prints of wolf paws stretched … Since then, no one in this area has heard of the wolf-man.
