Lobizón (January 2005, La Playosa, Cordoba, Argentina)
Since early January numerous residents of this community in Cordoba have reported the presence of a bizarre creature they call a “Lobizón” (wolfman). The intruder has attempted to enter local residents while at the same time emitting blood curling howls. It generally targets homes where there are no men around; it attempts to enter the home through the rear open patio area. Thankfully so far he has no been able to gain access to any of the residences where women and children have been alone there to confront him. Several women have described the entity as very tall, hairy, thin, and very agile, with blood shot eyes and wearing all black clothing. Police has failed to locate the mysterious intruder.
“Generally speaking, it attacks dwellings in which no men are known to live, or happen to be away for various causes. It tries to break in through back yards and alleyways, knowing that only women or children happen to be present. Fortunately it has been unable to break into homes because the doors were locked” - Ana, one of the women attacked by the Lobizón to the Cordoba newspaper La Mañana.
As of another report also made in 2005, residents of Barrio San Lorenzo remain frightened and agitated by the apparitions of the ghostly character dubbed "Rooftop Madman" (Loco de los Techos). Given prevailing state of nervous tension, two psychologists began working with the population through the health assistance center located in the area. This psychiatric help has seemingly not gotten rid of the creature, for stories were still rife in the streets of Argentina. An elderly man told a local news outlet by the name of El Litoral that he had seen the invader in the hallways of his own home. Furthermore, a woman dwelling in the 4000 block of Entre Rios Street claims that she saw the being standing at the top of an old pine tree. Apparently, her 11-year old son fainted upon the sight of the monster.
This case is extremely similar to that of the Victorian Spring-Heeled Jack - an entity capable of making supernaturally large leaps and who was also usually seen wearing all black clothing. Jack's eyes were described as burning like red fire. Another parallel case is that of the 'Monkey Man' of New Delhi - which was responsible for an outbreak of mass hysteria, panic and at least one death in 2001. This creature was described as hairy, semi-cybernetic and capable of unnatural agility. Just like Jack - and likely this Lobizón - the Monkey Man vanished without a trace after causing total chaos. I am calling cases of these sorts of entities 'phantom attackers'.

Werewolf (July 2017*, Norwich, England)
A driver on the way back from the cinema in Norwich encountered a large black wolf eating a carcass along the A1067. The creature was described as standing around a metre at the withers, with yellow eyes and black matted hair. The driver slowed and the wolf briefly looked up before continuing to eat. The witness continued home, shaken. Later, according to a documentation made on a dogman investigation website, a paranormal investigator and a friend (who was a lifelong alien contactee and associated with Rendlesham Forest) investigated the area using various psychic ‘sensing’ techniques, and ended up seeing something resembling a North American coyote with a disproportionately large head. The animal was between 4-5ft tall and apparently walked upright for the entire encounter. Seeing as these people have very little credible evidence to support their bizarre claims, I give more validity to the previous encounter - which has been documented in other places rather than just the comments of a forum.

Werewolf (Flixton, England, 940-1970s)
Flixton is a small village that sits on the Southeastern
edge of the Vale of Pickering, about five miles south of Scarborough on the
North Yorkshire coast. Although Flixton is a bleak and desolate landscape
nowadays, it would have been wild and remote in the 10th century - and the
first report of the eponymous werewolf only serves to enforce this idea.
There is a chance that the Flixton Werewolf story goes back
further than this, but the lycanthrope situation was so dire in the year 940
that a roadside hostel was constructed in Flixton solely for the purpose of
protecting travellers from the beast. The werewolf supposedly attacked sheep
and local people as well as travellers. Food was scarce in the cruel Northern
British Winter, and the beast dug up and devoured freshly buried corpses.
Anyone who went out after dark was at risk of being attacked. These attacks
became quite infamous in Flixton and the villages around it, but reports
stopped for a while before the monster resurfaced around 1150. Interestingly,
there was speculation around the time of the first wave of attacks that the
werewolf was connected to a local magician, who either used the monster for his
own gains or was a shapeshifter himself. In 1150, what could be assumed to be
the same creature devoured a local shepherd and a young girl, as well as
attacking farm animals. This werewolf walked upright and smelt awful, and had a
long tail and ferocious-looking eyes which were described as glowing in the dark.
As a continuation of the trend, the werewolf vanished without a trace for 600
years, before once again manifesting in 1800 when a carriage travelling to York
was attacked just outside Flixton, when a huge wolf-like creature first mauled
the driver and then the occupants of the carriage. One of these travellers
reported shot the creature, but the beast was unharmed. Although there were
still wolves in Britain at this time, they were very rare and would have had to
be extremely desperate to attack a carriage full of people. Finally, local reports
appeared in the 1970s that relayed the tale of a truck that was attacked when a
canine beast jumped onto the front and tried to smash its way through the
windscreen.
Another point of interest is that Flixton is situated on the
site of Star Carr – a Neolithic lake village dating back to the end of the last
ice age. This makes the place extremely ancient and thus a perfect location for
esoteric legends to take root. Although officially confirmed reports of the
Flixton Werewolf only date back a thousand years, who knows what strange
creatures featured in the stories of people way back in the mists of time.
