The legend of the werewolf of
Northumberland began the year 1800s, during that time German have said to
settle on the land. One of the very
first settlers was the Paul family who works in a farm. While their father tend the land and manage
their crops, it was the job of May Paul to take care of the sheep. Not far from their small farm lives a gray-haired
hermit. Though the old man is not known
to socialize to other people, he started to develop a liking to the child. He never approached the 12 year old May Paul,
but he would sit outside of her ranch and watched her in delight.
Also that time, the Northumberland is
known to be infested with wolves. The
wolves would usually attack the local farms and kill sheep, goat, rabbit
etc. But ironically, the wolves never
approached the home of the Paul or even their farm. Not one but an old gray wolf who looks at the
farm of the Paul family but never attack them.
One night a hunter passed by around the area and saw the lone gray
wolf. He aimed his firearms and shot the
wolf. The wolf cried in pain that echoed
all over the farm. The wolf flees to the
woods and escaped. The hunter decided to
retreat and not to follow a large wolf into the woods on a dark knight. He returned on the same spot to search for the
wolf next day.
When he arrived at the scene, he found a
trail of blood which led him to the cabin of the old hermit. He opened the door of the cabin and saw the
old man lying on the ground, dead from the wound that was caused by a
gunshot. The hunter noticed that the
wound is in the same spot right where he aimed at the wolf.
There were rumours that the old man is a
wolfman who attacks the town during daylight and led a pack of werewolves at
night. But these rumours were not
confirmed. Shortly after his death, a
grey wolf would constantly be seen outside the farm of the Paul family chasing
other wolf that would try to attack the livestock of the family. The wolf eventually disappeared after the
stray wolves have been exterminated.
