The United States has been invaded - if the dozens of eyewitnesses are to be believe - by upright, canine creatures that look like the traditional werewolves and act as if they own our woods, fields, and highways.

More Description
The United States has been invaded - if the dozens of eyewitnesses are to be believe - by upright, canine creatures that look like the traditional werewolves and act as if they own our woods, fields, and highways.
What's hiding in the woods? Researcher, author, and reporter Linda S. Godfrey has been tracking sightings of upright canids since the early 1990s, when she wrote about the first reported sightings of the Wisconsin creature she dubbed the 'Beast of Bray Road.'
In her continuing quest, Godfrey has undertaken the only large-scale cataloguing and investigation of reports of modern sightings of unknown, upright canids. In Real Wolfmen, she presents the most compelling cases from the modern history of these sightings, along with a through exploration of their habits, habitats, and the possible origins of these creatures.
First-person accounts from Godfrey's witnesses, who have encountered these creatures everywhere from outside their car windows to face-to-face in their own backyards, each describe human-size canines who are able to walk upright, interact fearlessly with humans, and, sometimes, suddenly and mysteriously disappear. Godfrey's research takes her across the country, investigating noted cases of canine creature sightings like North Dakota's 'Hide and Seek' Dogman, the Farm Stalker of losco County, Michigan, the Creature of Emuckfaw Creek, Alabama, and dozens more.
Are these creatures ingenious frauds? Demons? Brings from a parallel realm? Or the next stage in animal evolution? Whatever their nature, Godfrey gives us plenty of evidence that 'werewolves' are not just a horror-movie fancy.
'A riveting work or amazing scope and depth. You'll be hooked from the first page.' Rosemary Ellen Guiley, author of The Encyclopedia of Vampires and Werewolves
