S02-E07 - Werewolves in the UK

A shape moves in the bushes beside a cemetery.A cyclist sees yellow eyes staring from the undergrowth.And on Cannock Chase, witnesses describe something too large, too strange, and too human to be an ordinary animal.In this episode of Haunted UK Podcast, Steve explores one of the most unsettling corners of British folklore and modern paranormal testimony: werewolf sightings in the UK.The episode begins in the West Midlands, where a group of teenagers claimed to see a six-foot, wolf-like creature moving near a cemetery wall before it chased them through the gravestones. Years later, in the same area, a young man cycling home along a disused railway line encountered something with yellow eyes, a low growl, and the ability to run on all fours before rising onto two legs.The trail then moves to Cannock Chase, a landscape already rich with ghost stories, UFO sightings, strange creatures, and dark local legend. Witnesses there have reported huge dog-like animals stalking the tree line, standing upright, and disappearing into the forest. The episode also explores accounts from the Staffordshire Moorlands, where a driver came face to face with a wolf-like creature on a rural road.Alongside these sightings, Steve examines the strange case of Bill Ramsey, the Southend man whose violent episodes, reported animalistic behaviour, and later involvement with Ed and Lorraine Warren made him one of Britain’s most unusual alleged werewolf cases.Dark, folkloric, and deeply atmospheric, this episode blends creature sightings, British woodland legend, clinical lycanthropy, possession claims, eyewitness testimony, and the unsettling possibility that some old monsters may not belong entirely to the past.Enjoyed the episode?
