Then he sat back and waited for the wolf to arrive, certain he would have an easy kill. Beautiful wolf picture! A vengeful flood washed over the small town several years later, and as legend has it, they were placed on the Post Office lawn to dry out (because why not?). For todays Mythical Monday, I stumbled over a a fireside taleabout a town in West Virginia that was plagued by a mysterious white wolf. According to legend, the ghost-like creatures slip from the darkness on nights illuminated by a full moon. This gave me chills , Thanks for reading, Mishka. At its greatest extent, the wolf ranged across almost all of Eurasia and North America and deep into the Indian subcontinent. Later, a salvage yard features some amazing finds. And another sensible one, watching from a distance, LOL. The legend was further sensationalized in 1975 by the publication of the John Keel novel "The Mothman Prophecies."
