'Werewolf' fear of wives

Hounslow on Friday, Feb 23

Terrified families fear a werewolf who terrorised their estate on full moons has moved to Hounslow.

Petrified mums claim the 'beast', who strangles dogs with his bare hands, is on the prowl in the borough after quitting his Staines hideout.

One housewife says the snarling wolfman squirted blood from a gaping wound over her kitchen wall after bursting into her flat.

A horrified neighbour claims the panting fiend stalked up and down on all fours attacking anybody in his path.

Growling

And a 31-year-old mum-of-three says she had to fight the growling wolfman off with a broom after he forced his way into her apartment in nearby Stanwell.

Sandra Harris said: "My eight-year-old girl has nightmares about the man.

"He is a werewolf. He goes berserk after becoming possessed every full moon.

"Everyone here is terrified of him - he is like a wild animal, snarling and clenching his fists."

Howling

And friend Paula Clements admitted: "He has incredible strength. He forced me to my knees in pain just by grabbing hold of an arm.

"One minute he is a gentle giant and the next he is a howling beast".

Now families, who claim they haven't seen the werewolf since he fled his hideout, fear he has moved to Hounslow.

One mum, too frightened to be named, said: "He has upped and left. He planned escaping to Hounslow where he can settle down as nobody knows him.

"Thank God our reign of terror is over. I pity his next victims.

Historians claim the last wolf in England stalked Hounslow Heath in the 1880s.
