If there is one thing I love as much as horror movies, it’s horror documentaries. One topic in horror documentaries that seems to be lacking is that of werewolves, but UK paranormal investigator Damon Simms is aiming to add a film on that very subject. Simms writes a column for the Stoke Sentinel titled ‘Supernatural Staffordshire’. When he is not writing he spends much of his time researching the unexplained mysteries and the myths that revolve around the area. One of the most interesting cases is that of the “Werewolf of Cannock Chase’, a creature that has had countless sighting in the county. Simms’ research on the werewolf is traced back the year 1975.

He began acting like a wild animal and even
