The Shropshire Werewolf

Secret Shropshire

Available for over a year

The tall, muscular creature said to have stalked the Shropshire Union Canal since the 19th century and in recent years, a string of unexplained animal attacks have only deepened the mystery. Witnesses describe huge, glowing eyes and a fur covered figure that moves upright and silently along the water’s edge, pacing the towpath as if it knows it’s being watched. So if you were thinking of taking a late night stroll along the canal, you might want to think again.
