'Werewolves' have been reported in England for centuries. Image Credit: Pixabay / Viergacht According to author and former Berkshire policeman Brian Langston, PC Tom Walters and PC Lucy Palmer had been out on patrol in the early hours one morning in November 2000 when the incident happened.

The pair had been in their patrol car at Windsor Leisure Pool in Stovell Road when their headlights illuminated what they described as an "enormous wolf-like beast."

"It looked too big to be a dog and seemed irritated we had disturbed it," said Palmer.

"It had an odd gait and walked towards the river where it vanished."

It was later discovered that a similar creature had also been sighted 10 years beforehand by another police officer - PC Gail Emptage - who had been on late-night burglary patrol.While cycling along the side of the river, she had caught site of what she initially assumed to be a "large shaggy dog" but which quickly turned out to be some sort of large wolf.

"It was so big that my first thought was that it must be a St Bernard," she said.

"As it loped across the road just 20 feet ahead of me, it was clearly illuminated by the street lighting and I could see it had the appearance of a huge wolf. "

"There was no doubt in my mind it was solid and real."

She even described it as having an "air of arrogance and almost human intelligence" with eyes that "glowed with an intense yellow-green luminosity."

"[It was] nothing like any dog I had ever seen," she said.
