Do werewolves exist?
Ohio may not have the long and storied history of werewolf/Dogman sightings that have plagued nearby states like Michigan and Wisconsin for example, but she has had her fair share. There are several werewolf-related urban legends in the Buckeye state. Are the stories real, or just the overactive imaginations of a few bored or frightened individuals? Who’s to say for certain? But here are a couple of my favorite tales. You decide for yourself…
In central Ohio, near Columbus, on August 27, 2005, a truck driver identifying himself only as Scott called into the Coast to Coast radio show and told host, Ian Punnett, of his strange werewolf sighting. Scott said that while driving his rig one night, his truck’s headlights illuminated something chilling. What he saw appeared to be some kind of large beast crouched on the side of the road and eating a deer. He described it as looking like a cross between “an ape with a dog’s head” and the werewolf creature from the horror film Van Helsing.
And here’s a more recent one … in the fall of 2013, in northeastern Ohio (Hmm, up near the fictional Lunar Falls region of the state), near a town called Norton, there are tales of sightings involving multiple creatures. Sightings so chilling they even had the local wildlife running scared. According to the story, while driving home from work in the evening, the witness, identified only as Andrew in the account, abruptly stopped his car when two deer suddenly raced across the road and into a corn field. A split second later, three huge creatures leapt across the road and into the field after them. Andrew described the creatures as being somewhere between 6’6” and 7’ tall. “They were bipedal, very muscular, and fast. Lightning fast … Whatever these were, they weren’t Bigfoot. I can’t describe how they moved, but they didn’t move like a person.”

Lunar Falls, OH. Population 3,722. On the surface, it’s an unassuming, sleepy little backwater, full of friendly townsfolk, farmers and other hard-working blue-collar people just trying to make an honest living. A town teaming with local charm and hospitality. The type of place where most everyone knows most everyone else. Funny then, that there should be so many secrets in this sweet little hamlet.
Secrets like who is the mysterious Lily Faraday, and why did she really kill herself? And what’s with the incredibly sexy, enigmatic town sheriff, Gabriel Masters, and is he really stalking beautiful veterinarian, Dr. Carly Tipton? What exactly are the Moon Hunters, and should we be afraid of them? And those are just a few of the many secrets and lies lurking around every corner of Lunar Falls.
Have you ever felt like the person you smile and say hello to every single day is hiding something behind those kind eyes? Ever wondered if there might be something to all those “creature” sightings people whisper about?
