The Temple of Dagon

I figured it'd be a good addition to the site, a little news section for articles which seem like real-life occurances of something Lovecraft would have dreamt up. If anyone finds anything, post it here, we'll see if we can strong-arm Al into setting it up, maybe giving one of us the sorcerous powers needed to update it on the main page.

A Montana Wolf Mystery & the Fury it Breeds
By Hal Herring, 3-29-06

The creature, whatever it is, came out of Montana's own McCone County, wandering from the rough breaks of Timber Creek, just south of the Big Dry Arm of Fort Peck Reservoir, and the CM Russell Wildlife Refuge. Where it had wandered before that, Canada or North Dakota, nobody knows.

Since December, it has struck six herds of sheep belonging to stockmen in McCone and Garfield Counties, killing 36 ewes, and injuring 71, many of which will succumb to their wounds.

It leaves a track like a small wolf, or a dog, or a wolf-hybrid, but its killing habits are inefficient, nothing like the surgical lethality of a wolf taking meat from a herd of domestic sheep.

Coyotes, those that survive here in the gauntlet of traps and aerial gunnery and cyanide "getters," kill a lot of sheep every year, but nothing like this.

This creature is a traveler, and it is not always alone, though its companion leaves a smaller track still, adding to the mystery. . . . [More at above link]

Humans could not have encountered 'terror bird' (The most interesting thing about this is the bird itself, not whether or not come cavemen saw it)

In a comment on the story at the Caspar Star Tribune, one reader suggests that the creature might be this: http://www.fortunecity.com/roswell/sire ... hunka.html
