The Woolpit Wolf

This Suffolk village is thought to take its name from pits dug to trap wolves. The area is said to be the haunt of one such animal, caught and killed centuries ago. A farmer was once out looking for a lost calf and claimed to have seen it emerge from a hole in the ground. He rushed for his gun, but lost it in the moonlight. He then noticed that it had left no footprints and concluded that he had seen the phantom wolf.

For some reason, the ghostly wolf is only said to appear after a fall of snow.
