Features

Towards the end of the Cold War, some American servicemen stationed in rural Germany reported a terrifying encounter with a werewolf. CRISPIN ANDREWS travelled to the brooding fairytale forests of the Hunsruck in search of the truth about the Morbach Monster...

36 The Accidental Werewolf Chronicler
In the winter of 1991, the first stories of a werewolf stalking the area around Elkhorn, Wisconsin, reached the local newspaper and the life of one staffer was changed forever. TEA KRULOS meets Linda S Godfrey, recorder of America's modern manwolves.
