Gee, I don't think I'd seen a werewolf since I guess it was six, seven years I stopped taking her out. Frank Thornton, a 16 year-old Media High student who lives on Naaman's Creek Road in Chadd's Ford, is one of the leading authorities the werewolf. on Frank took me to the spot where he and two companions first saw it Friday night. It's on Beaver Valley Road, across Route 202. The road gues downhill and high trees cast dark shadows over it.

On the left the ground rises in a dense woods, with slivers of bark and decaying branches on the ground. The road. is an ideal spot for a fellow to dawdle with his doll. It's also perfect werewolf country. "You ought to see this when there's a full moon," said Frank, a thin, sandy-haired kid.

"See that path going up the hill. The moon shines right through there. It's real weird looking." Frank told how he, Brownie Evans of Conestoga Farms and Fred Ball of Boothwyn rode down there Friday night. They had stopped the car when Frank heard slow footsteps behind them. He looked out and saw a vague, white figure coming toward the car.

The boys didn't hang around to get its autograph. No Interviews, Please night a carload of kids came back to look for it. They They told friends about the creature and the saw it again and were for a second time wanting for courage to seek an interview. Sunday night, several carloads turned out. Four boys went into the woods.

One of them carried a hammer, Either somebody saw the creature or pretended he did, but the band came out of the woods in a hurry. Frank Thornton was cruising along the road waiting for them when suddenly the hammer, which one of the boys said he'd dropped, came whizzing past his car. "Now one of them could have thrown it," said Frank, "but they swear they didn't. They were still in the woods when it came flying out. But why would they throw it at my.

car, you know. I'm best with all of them and I don't think they'd do that. And the handle of the hammer had claw marks, or thing, on it." Werewolf Lovers' Delight Since then the area has been nightly patroled by werewolf lovers. Police have chased Frank Thornton away twice. Stories, many of them confessed frauds, have spread.

The werewolf has been heard to make grunting sounds, the werewolf leaves large footprints, the werewolf has a hook arm, the werewolf drinks straight scotch. Frank Thornton has become a crusader. "It irks me," he said, "to hear so many runiors about me. Everybody says I'm crazy and all. You oughta hear the stories down at school.

Everybody knows about it. there've been a 1000 people here since Friday night. "I really don't know what we saw.
