Kentucky Wolfman

Since 1944 folks in rural Kentucky have been reporting sightings of a gigantic wolf like creature that walks upright. This bipedal animal seems to making appearances in several areas of the state. One man described it as looking like a cross between a bear and a gorilla. The sightings seem to come mostly from the flatlands of the state and the eastern mountainous region. Some have described it as having a white or grayish looking coat. It's height seems to be that of an average man according to these reports and of the same proportion. It's hands (?)have long claws and the feet are somewhat like a humans but configured more like a canine. It seems to be very aggressive. In 1944 a boy reported being attacked by this fearsome creature. The boy said he had been fishing and a silver gray wolf like creature came out of the woods and went after the fish he had previously caught. The boy was reported to have been treated for deep cuts from an animal attack and shock. Another report came in 1972. A hunter reported in the hospital that he was attacked from behind by something. He had deep claw marks on his back and legs. He said he did not get a good look at the creature but described what he did see as white or light gray with long fingernails or claws. He said he might have been killed if he had not fallen on the ground and lain very still making the creature think he was dead. There have been several attempts to hunt and kill or capture the creature but it seems to be very elusive and can easily escape those that pursue it. It seems to possess above average canine intelligence. In the 1980s two lawmen were investigating a sighting in the Ashland Cemetery and were cornered by this animal. They said it came within thirty feet of them and paced back and forth growling until it got bored and retreated back into the cemetery. In 2001 a couple were driving down a deserted road in Greenup County. They reported the beast came running down the road toward them. Instead of avoiding the vehicles, it just jumped right over them and went on it's way. In 2005 a man went outside to investigate a strange noise and saw what he thought was a child but realized soon that the three foot tall being was covered in hair and had a snout like a dog. When it saw the man watching it, it made a hasty retreat. This year the team from Mountain Monsters went to Hazleton Kentucky to investigate a very recent sighting. A man out hunting in the woods obtained video footage of the creature walking in the tree line at a distance. The footage showed an upright biped animal a good six or seven feet tall, walking through the woods and disappearing into the tree line. During their visit to Hazleton, other people came forth with accounts of finding tracks. These tracks were larger than an average man's hand and were canine. From the tracks the creature was judged to be in the three hundred fifty pound range! The team set up a steel drop trap and baited it with a live goat to try to capture the animal. Because it possessed an uncanny ability of eluding capture, they found tracks all around the traps triggering mechanism and the goat was not touched. If all accounts are accurate is there a pack or community of them? Perhaps one day solid proof will be obtained and they will cease to be a cryptid and w
