My group decided our Pennsylvania Ghost Tale adventure would be based on the Werewolves of Pennsylvania. Wolves were once very prevalent in the area and many of the first settlers in Pennsylvania were from European decent, where werewolf tales were already prevalent. Many of the werewolf tales made their way to Pennsylvania due to the high wolf population. The tale we decided to focus on was about a werewolf in Schwaben Valley in Northumberland County in the 1800s. A young girl, May Paul, would spend her days tending to her family’s flock of sheep. A strange man began to hang around May and her sheep, which made many of the locals very uncomfortable. Rumors began to spread that the old man was a werewolf because May’s flock of sheep always remained safe from wolves due to her protection of the old man. Many of the other sheepherders in the area did not have this same luck, so her parents did drive the man away. The wolves began to attack even during the day, causing many of the locals to keep watch at night with their rifles. One night, a man saw an old wolf crossing the road, so he decided to shoot it. The wolf ran off into the woods, and when the man followed the trail of blood, he came across the old man who loved May. The man accounts for the very hairy body of the man and his razor sharp teeth, which led him to believe that the old man was without a doubt a werewolf. The man’s body was buried in an unmarked location, but his grave reads: “die Woolf man’s grob“.
