Greetings
Welcome to our little corner of the web. This site is devoted to ONE of the HELLHUNTERS projects investigating the unknown and the unusual. Our team spends time on assorted adventures , everything from looking for Lost treasures , exploring swamps looking for werewolves , prospecting for gold , investigating civil war secret societies , assorted paranormal investigations ...if is is interesting and unusual we probably have a hand in it ..but if you have found this page you are probably looking for Werewolf stuff ....We are good with that ! Come on in Explore a bit ..Check out our Map of Alabama sightings...and if you have any questions drop us an email ...we are always glad to talk .
When you try to explain that you are a “ werewolf hunter” most people look at you like you are stark raving mad. We are OK with that . If you want to take that description at face value , dismiss it as crazy and go about your way by all means feel free. For those who want to take a closer look at what we do we offer this explanation .
The idea of the existence of shape shifters has been a part of the human psyche for so long it seems as if it has always been around . The tale in Greek Mythology of Lycaon , The King of Arcadia , Thiess of Kaltenbrun , known as the Livonain Werewolf , the Werewolf trials of Estonia , Peter Stubb , Henry Gardinn ….all were said to transform into a wolf ...Note that I said wolf NOT wolf-man.
The importance of that distinction is thus. With all of the history and well known legends of werewolves changing into a wolf NOT a wolf-man for some reason when the Acadian French settled in the American south the legend of Loup Garou being a “ wolf-man” started to overtake the legend of a Loup Garou transforming into a wolf . This was many years before makeup artist Jack Peirce turned Lon Chaney into what the world now pictures as a “ werewolf” in 1941s “ The Wolf Man” .
To this day sightings of the “ Loup Garou” or “ Rougarou " continue throughout the south. Our suggestion is the thing that has been spotted over the last several hundred years is some form of cryptid ..nothing supernatural simply an unknown animal .
The sightings of the “Skunk ape “, “Honey Island Swamp monster “, and the “Alabama White thang “ are all very close in description to a Loup Garou . The Bigfoot sightings as seen in the northwest describe a much larger but less aggressive animal. We simply suggest that the beast people have been spotting was mistaken for a werewolf and the legends changed a bit Very much like the way peoples image of a chuppacabra changed from a blood sucking lizard like monster into a mangy Coyote over the last 20 years.
What we hunt is a legend and make no mistake our witnesses are usually VERY frightened of it,
The thing is reported to be vicious . Our position is that this is a flesh and blood critter , NOT some “ mythical beast” Yep..I admit it.. We are Cryptozoology researchers not just “ drunken redneck werewolf hunters with guns “ . We study search and rescue style team tracking , Forensics , and evidence collection Our research is always ongoing ..we go into this with a open mind. Our object is to see what we find. not prove or disprove , just collect evidence and follow the rabbithole . We just happen to be armed to the teeth , loaded down with moonshine and having a damn good time doing what we do....
