THE WOLF

No, this isn't the creature that we are all familiar with.    It was a disease and was also an animal that looked like a lizard.  It was the object of belief in 19th Century Wales.  It would attack women only, lodging itself in the victim's breast.  It was supposed to enter the woman's system when she drank contaminated water.  A piece in the magazine Bye-Gones dated 1876 speaks of a man who captured one.# of these creatures and exhibited its supposed bottled remains at Oswestry.
