WEREWOLVES ARE REAL!!! the 2017 livestock massacre that the state blamed on coyotes.I’m a Wildlife Removal Specialist. What I Found In The Shawnee National Forest Wasn’t An Animal. In November 2017, I was hired to investigate a series of brutal livestock killings on three farms bordering the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois. The state authorities blamed coyotes. They were wrong. As a professional wildlife removal specialist with 15 years of experience, I know what predators can do. I know the bite patterns of wolves, bears, and mountain lions. But the tracks I found in the mud were nine inches long, pressed deep into the earth, and the strength required to drag a 300-pound steer through a barbed-wire fence without breaking stride is biologically impossible for any known native species.This is the true account of what happened during those long nights in the hollows of the Shawnee. It involves thermal optics, trail camera evidence that defies explanation, and a creature that the locals call the “Ridge Runner”—a bipedal predator that has hunted these woods since the settlers first arrived. What started as a job to protect cattle turned into a fight for survival against an intelligent, ancient apex predator that doesn't just kill to eat. It kills to send a message.If you enjoy true scary stories, deep woods horror, and encounters with the unexplained, listen closely. Because some things in the forest don't want to be found, and they definitely don't want to be filmed.We narrate the most terrifying true stories from the outdoors, including Park Ranger encounters, deep woods mysteries, and inexplicable events from the most remote corners of the world.
