One location of werewolf sightings is in Henrico County Virginia of a werewolf that has come to be known as the Werewolf of Henrico County. The story of the werewolf of Henrico County has taken on something of urban legend status…it’s hard to find true first-hand accounts – every thing heard about this particular werewolf seems to be something that a friend said. When you finally are able to get through the excitement and whispers, accounts of the werewolf sightings describe a greyish white creature covered in fur that stands upright and “has the face of an animal”.
These werewolf sightings seem to be clustered in Henrico County Virginia in and around the Confederate Hills Recreation Center. It is unclear how often the werewolf appears or what its appearances coincide with.
Possible explanations for these werewolf sightings include a hoax by a local – the sightings are after all in and around a recreation center – it is not unplausible to think that a local teen has pulled out his halloween costume and is trying to pull a prank on the local community. There are those however that deny that it is a prank.
Another plausible explanation to the sightings that has been offered which seems to be more likely is that what is being seen is actually a bigfoot, since the area is also a huge spot for bigfoot sightings. If this is true, this would not be the first time a bigfoot has been mistaken for a werewolf. From a distance, both bigfoot and werewolves can look pretty similar. In the darkness, a huge upright creature covered in fur looking vaguely human could be mistaken as either. Unless you have a close-up encounter, it could be very difficult to determine which creature it in fact is.
A final possible explanation for the sightings is that this is in fact a real werewolf. It does however seem unlikely that this is the case given the location of the sightings – a recreation center. Rec centers are hubs of activity, and this particular one sits out in the open. Most werewolves would steer clear of such areas as the chances of being spotted and identified are extremely high.

So i am in Illinois and there arent werewolf sightings out here but my mom did tell me that we she was a kid that out on her grandmas farm and there was an old family grave yard out there and every night somehting would dig out of the grave and she said that she saw it one night and that it stood up right and it was as white as snow and she said it looked like what she would picture a werewolf as looking like. what do you think?
Your grandma is right well i do believe.but im afraid that i must use logic to Is there wolves where you live Kenzie?
Actually, there have been about 5 recorded strange man/wolf sightings in Illinois after 2002 alone My mother, aunt, and Grandmother make up 3 of the 5 sightings. And though I doubt you take the word of a stranger on the internet, I know my family and they wouldn’t make up a story like this. They are pritty insistent that the thing they saw was something they have never seen before in their lives. My aunt said it ran on 2 legs and was eating roadkill like a raccoon.
all 3 of them are in “hunting the american werewolf” – a book you can google if you wanna read more about the sightings.
Werewolves indeed do eat road-kill if there is no other resource. Werewolves are highly known as being visious and cruel! NOT TRUE. Thanks to movies. Indians started the curse. A blackkfoot indian used the power of the wolf to make him stronger but turned him into a beast. He had a love. Married young with 2 kids he learned to deal with the curse but to always run away during transformation. He snuck out during a full moon. His wife followed him. She noticed the changes he was going through trying to run away but he got to her and bit her. She was infected witht the disease. Never to be seen again! Werewolves now have changed so very much of the years. Blending into the human population. Learning and controling their trasformations. I say this because i am a ”Pack” werewolves have been in my family for century’s began in germany making there way to the u.s. Many of the packs remain but many have fanished. Many of which that we live in henrico county virginia. Living in our own enviroment.
There are alot Werewolves in Virgina! And i do believe they have orginated from Germany and other such places. I can say because, my Moms side of the family has remaining faint traces of the infection or “gene” I tend to involve myself with Were’s, their much more tolerable and all-around much better than anyother human i’ve met, but you do meet a mean one every once in awhile… But i have to say yay Ms. Lacey Pack! ^^ thumbs up for the German tribes!!
I know of certain regions of the country where they tend to gather, The Rockies is one place, north eastern region, they dont really seem to be in the Great Plains.. the exsist more in the Northern region
