8 Mythical Creatures Recently Spotted In Real Life

4. Werewolves - Stoke, England (2006)

One man (conveniently without any recording equipment) sighting a mythical beast and pleading with everyone to believe them is one thing. The UK Highways Agency getting a series of reports, over a number of years, about a Werewolf dodging cars attempting to cross a main road between two patches of forrest is quite another.

In Stoke, a small city in England's Midlands, cases dating as far back as 1975 and as recently as 2006, have seen motorists making panicked phonecalls regarding a half-man half-wolf creature near the 10A junction of the M6 motorway.

Most recently, a man in the Stoke Sentinel described only as "Martin", gave a vivid description of a tall, black "wolf-like creature on two legs" which bounded across the road, narrowly missing his car before disappearing into the forest by the roadside. Calls have since been made for more camera equipment to be placed on this stretch, to verify the stories and shed light on the creature.
