'WERE DOG' or ROUGAROU Encountered Near Franklinton, Louisiana

"Its hair/fur color was dirty white that covered most of the body. It was human-like in the upper torso. I’m not sure about the bottom half. The head was wolf-like and large with a dirty white mane."

I received the following account:

"Hello, Lon. I came across your site after searching for a creature I saw in the spring of 2016 in Southeast Louisiana near Franklinton. My son (12 years old at the time) and I were traveling on back highways at about 10 PM. We started going around this curve to the right and another car was coming opposite direction, so I dimmed my headlights.

That's when I saw it. This thing was about 8 feet tall, standing on the right side of the road. It was looking at the other car, and as it passed, it turned to look our way and crouched down into a sprinter's starting stance. Its hair/fur color was dirty white that covered most of the body. It was human-like in the upper torso. I’m not sure about the bottom half. The head was wolf-like and large with a dirty white mane that was thick and running down its back.

The encounter only lasted about 10 seconds and I only focused on the top. It was the waist was quite thin with defined human-like musculature. It had its ears back like a cat. Its eyes were bright yellow. Its mouth was wide open and full of sharp teeth and long canines. My son claims it had inverted knees like a dog. I referred to it as a “Were Dog.” The fur color and other attributes match the description of the Rougarou, which I was familiar with from the tales told to me by my grandfather. But we saw it less than 10 miles (as the crow flies) from our home, and that’s a bit disconcerting.

There was a sighting of a similar upright creature a few years ago about 3 miles from where we had our encounter." H

NOTE: Very similar description to other supposed Rougarou sightings/encounters that I have received in the past. Lon
