Werewolf of Denbigh

 

There's a well known legend about a werewolf from the town of Denbigh in Wales. It happened during a full red moon night in 1790. Denbigh is in North Wales. Throughout the region, people were nervous as they believed the moon turning red was a bad sign. On that night there was a stagecoach travelling on a road between Denbigh and Wrexham when the moon above was showing to be an eerie bloodred colour. The stagecoach was then attacked by a huge wolflike beast. It was described as having jet black fur and being of the same size as a horse. The beast killed one of the two coach horses while the other broke free and escaped. 

The following year, a farmer had a terrifying encounter with the strange huge black wolflike beast. He found enormous wolflike tracks in the snow that was much bigger than usual, so he followed the trail. He came upon a gruesome scene of blood drenched snow of dozens of mutilated farm animals. He was horrified to witness a very large black wolf killing his dog, that saw him and decided to chase. The farmer ran to the nearest barn and locked himself in, but the large wolf crashed against the door so heavily that he was afraid it would break the door down. It stopped banging for a moment, and then looked into the window to look for the terrified farmer. 

The farmer was hiding under a table armed only with a pitchfork, but he was able to see the huge wolf clearly through the window. It was standing up on it's hind legs like a man, and then looked closely up against the window. It had humanlike features, and its eyes were a blue colour and there was something intelligent about the creature. Already it was foaming at the mouth. Soon the wolf entity left the window and killed more livestock. Later on after learning about what happened to the farmer, the local church organised a hunting party. Villagers were armed with muskets and pitchforks. However, after a long freezing night looking for the creature, they found only it's tracks in the snow. 

Everything went quiet in Denbigh, until the 20th century when reports of a large black wolf killing animals started. A newspaper reported a dangerous huge black furred predator from as recent as 1992. Eye witnesses thought it was a bear, while others speculate it's the return of the werewolf of Denbigh.
