The Legend of the Pettigrew State Park Werewolf
Location: Pettigrew State Park, Creswell NC 27928
Located next to North Carolina's second-largest natural lake, Pettigrew State Park visitors have noticed something fur-miliar watching them from the woods. Werewolf? Dogman? Were-Jason because this place, with its multiple spooky stories, definitely has Camp Crystal Lake vibes? Let's dive in (but not into Lake Phelps, it's a bit shallow).

The Lore
Before we get too deep into this piece, I just want to say this was supposed to be a two-day research, write in a week, back in November thing. It's February...I actually had the research and my thoughts done in December but my ranting mouth got the better of me. I needed a break to share the lore with a clear mind. So if this reads less than together between the lore, facts, and my thoughts, well, the Lily wrote the ending then was in time out before writing the beginning. 💖
Pettigrew State Park is another Lore Lover suggestion, and one I am shocked I have not heard before as it's just right up the road from me (one day, I will visit, but it's about 3.5-4 hours one way). Pettigrew State Park and the surrounding area are said to be home to a canine cryptid. Werewolf or dogman seems to be the fuzzy critter on the loose and causing a bit of commotion (when I do finally visit, I promise to only give ear scratches with permission). In 2009, a couple visiting from out of state had an encounter with something large, furry, and canine in nature. And in 2019, a lady in nearby Beaufort County, NC was attacked by an unknown canine and unfortunately did not survive.
Side note: The nearby Somerset Place Plantation is accessible from park trails and is said to be haunted, and there is the Pettigrew Cemetery as well. I will be researching both, and yes, I already have minor thoughts...
The Lost Colony
In my research, I found a claim that the Lost Colony was taken out by a pack of wolfies (this is my loving term going forward for werewolves, dogmen, and canine cryptids in general). While I love to present to y'all the lore, we all know my feelings on the Lost Colony being lost or anything other than having migrated to the nearby tribe, you know, like the carvings said... So I ain't even and I don't care. If anything other than a lack of looking took out the ol' LC, then the Devil himself can show me because I will not believe it without hard evidence when they neglected to look for the colony in the first place.
Second side note, really a disclosure: I have already spoken a lot of thoughts on this personal experience we are about to discuss. I have written even more. I deleted a bunch, and eventually, I gave up because by the end, I was laughing too hard. I will try my best to be unbiased in my presentation of this piece of lore.
David and Lisa Leidy
In October 2009, David and Lisa Leidy had the most notable encounter with the canine cryptid that is said to roam Pettigrew State Park and the surrounding areas. The couple was from out of state and drove down to experience the unseasonably warm fall. They drove a pick-up truck hauling a camper on the back and were used to camping in various locations, from parking lots to state park spots. By the time they arrived at Creswell, the small town visitors must pass through just before reaching Pettigrew, it was already dark and the town was poorly lit. David pulls over to uncover his off-road lights before continuing through town.
They eventually drive past a group of people hanging out in the dark. As David and Lisa drive past, he hears one say "Good luck." This, of course, was unsettling to the couple, but they continued on to the park, eager to get settled in for the night.
Upon arriving at Pettigrew, David and Lisa realized that the location so close to the Outer Banks was a bit swampy, especially after what appeared to be recent rain, and they began to question their decision to camp, even overnight. They met a park ranger on his way home for the night. The way he said he was leaving but would be back at sunrise made them even more uneasy. The ranger was leaving with another camper who said they were not saying the night and were heading out themselves. Seeing the other camper leave, David and Lisa decided they had had enough creepy vibes and decided to leave with the others.
While they simply needed a parking lot to stay in, no one could blame the couple for venturing beyond the town of Creswell, the location of the first bad vibes. The couple headed east, towards the coast and their next destination, Roanoke Island. Around 1 AM, they saw a red wolf (or coyote) walking along the highway, and then a few minutes later, they hit something in the road. Unsure of what it was, David pulled over to see what they hit and if there was any damage to his truck or camper. As they had been uneasy all night, he took his .357 magnum to be safe while Lisa stayed in the truck.
David walks around the truck and camper before spotting damage done to the back of the camper. As he inspects it, he feels something watching, turns towards the sound, and sees a large canine creature in front of him. David notes the size of the creature, claiming it was around 7 feet tall when completely upright with teeth "glinting in the moonlight." The creature looks to David's side and David follows his eye line, where there is another creature lurking. David shoots at the creature in front of him, aiming for the head, but the creature moves and is hit in the chest instead and seems unfazed by the bullet. David rushes back to the truck, gets in, and they drive away. As they are fleeing, David looks in his mirrors and can see 2 or 4 canine creatures following them before they finally leave the couple alone.
David and Lisa make it to Roanoke Island, park in a grocery store parking lot, and stay the night. Either just before turning in or the next morning, they have an encounter with a local who claims to have seen them too, describing the main creature to a T. The couple continues their week-long stay without another cryptid run-in until the night before they leave. David claims he heard something outside his camper while they were staying on the mainland not far from their first encounter. The next morning, the owner of the property they were on shushes David when he starts to discuss it. The couple then hops in their truck and drives back home. As they leave the area, David swears one of them watches them leave. And just to clarify, David alone saw the creatures. Lisa was present and heard the gunshot but did not see the creatures in question.
Brenda Hamilton
This next piece of lore very much happened, we just don't know the exact circumstances. On February 15, 2019, in the community of Pantego located in Beaufort County, North Carolina (there is a Beaufort County, SC, so careful when mapping it), 77-year-old Brenda Hamilton was out walking when she was attacked by unknown canines. Unfortunately, she did not survive the attack. DNA testing was done on area dogs, but they were "unable to make a definitive determination as to what type of canine attacked Brenda Hamilton." Due to the nature of her attack, domestic dogs, wild canines (including wolves and coyotes), and canine cryptids have all been named as suspects in the attack.
The Facts
Human History Around Pettigrew
In the 1980s, a wildfire broke out in the area and Lake Phelps, the lake at Pettigrew, had to be flooded along with the surrounding area. This allowed dugout canoes from Indigenous peoples to surface and we now have an idea of when people were in the area. Per Atlas Obscura, "the Lake Phelps canoes were likely made by the Carolina Algonquin people who arrived in the region around 9500 to 8000 B.C. The Algonquin had been living in the area nearly 800 years before Europeans arrived." The Algonquins were the first known people to inhabit Roanoke Island and were the ones the English interacted with during their first attempts of colonizing Roanoke. I did try to find lore relating to a canine cryptid of some kind, but I did not see any. Additionally, the tribe either has impressive coverage (which would not be a surprise given the amount of time they were known to just be in North Carolina), or the tribe in Canada is named similarly (truth be told, I am not sure if Algonquin and Algonquian are the same nation as many sites use the words interchangeably and I was researching with pre-coffee, early morning brain.) But whether in Canada or the US, one thing seems to be certain, they were not worried about wolvies as I did not see any lore related to the Algonquin and canine cryptids.
Brenda Hamilton
While the exact canines responsible for Brenda Hamilton's death have not been caught, substantial DNA testing was done. Two domestic dogs were under suspicion but their behavior and demeanor did not fit with how dogs known to have attacked humans will typically behave. The DNA recovered was said to be of canine nature but could not be classified as either domestic or wild canine. The most likely culprit for wild canines is a coyote based on known behavior and population. They are all across the state and our neighboring state, Georgia, has approximately 250,000, which we can assume to be similar to North Carolina's figures. Per Google Maps, the distance from Pettigrew State Park to Beaufort County is just over an hour, depending on the route you take, by car. If you were to walk, like say an animal would, you are looking at just under 50 miles, a reasonable distance for a wild animal to travel in their life.
David and Lisa Leidy
OK, there aren't a lot of facts I can cover here without going into my thoughts, so let's just skip this part and I will address it all (at length) in a second.
The Lily Thoughts
I really loved looking into this location and am planning on researching the nearby Somerset Place plantation, Pettigrew Family Cemetery, and the history surrounding the two. I genuinely find this location very interesting, both as a whole and as individual hotspots for different supernatural events. But for now, we are going to focus on just the canine cryptid reports in the area.
Now I want to do a bit of disclaiming before we get to thinking out loud too much. Are werewolves real? I do not know. As far as cryptids go, they would be one of the better ones for hiding themselves in plain sight most of the moon cycle. If I know any, they have not revealed themselves to me, much to my sadness as I would keep their secret because I ain't no snitch. BUT for conversation purposes, we are going to look at things both ways as yes, there are canine cryptids, either as dogmen, werewolves, or even shapeshifters, and as no, they do not exist, and here's what people may be seeing. Clear as coffee, right? Now that that is out of the way, let's talk wolfies.
If it's not a cryptid, what are people seeing? If it is a cryptid, what kind are people seeing? Oh boy, do I have a thought train. Please come along but know, I will be making smart-ass comments as this is the rambling portion of the blog after all and I have a lot of thoughts. Like a lot. Like I already put out 20 minutes of me ranting about my issues with David and Lisa's story, but that's not even half of my ranting. I was recording more, but my thoughts went so long, I told myself on camera I needed to shut up and write. So, buckle up, and maybe grab another coffee, because *whew* lots of thoughts. (And these are the edited ones.)
David and Lisa. David. And. Lisa. DavidAndLisa. No matter how I say it, I have difficulty believing they saw anything. Or if they did see something, they wanted to tell their story but somehow threw everything into a blender first because things do not make sense. Bear with me. I will walk you through all my thoughts as best as possible. But it may be jumbled.
Ok so, just so we are all clear on when the story took place, according to the Dogman Encounters episode, it happened in October 2009. Leading up to October, the hurricane season was quiet, I simply note this because of the coastal area affecting wildlife and travel after storms. David and Lisa were traveling with their truck and camper, he was a seasoned camper, and they decided to visit Pettigrew State Park for the night.
Now, I would like to point out, I am using the versions of their story told on Dogman Encounters and These Woods are Haunted/Terror in the Woods (primarily Dogman Encounters just to keep my thoughts mostly contained and because it's more of David telling the whole tell from start to finish without visual interruptions and in a way that feels more fluid, but also, listening to these on repeat to get the information, it just adds fuel to my verbal fire, and I am trying to limit myself for those not wanting to read all that fire). If there are other versions told by either of them out there, they either line up with one of these or they prove my point by being different and therefore harder to believe.
So, we're with D&L. Driving through Creswell around either dusk or pitch black night. So 5 PM or 5:01 PM. That's a lie, it would have been before the time change. 6 PM or 6:01 PM. My humor is because this is long and I don't want to sound too "wolfie" myself in this rambling rant. Again, I have almost a full hour (possibly over) of me ranting about their story and I wasn't done. But they roll into the town and see a group of people standing around on a property. It was supposedly 15 dudes per David. And, supposedly, as they were driving by, one said "Good luck" to them. Now, my beef with this comes in several patties. First of all, the 15 men and "Good luck" were told to us by David on Dogman Encounters, a podcast-style show, ie less dramatized for visual effect. This is important later. So the more dramatized version only had them driving by 4 men (on a second watch, they didn't say how many, but they showed 4). And no one spoke. You'd think the program relying on visualization would want the increased numbers and creepy greeting. Now granted, they may have been doing 25mph, which can be standard in small towns. And maybe their window was down. But David said, "said." They didn't yell it. Shout it. Boom it. They said it. Phrasing kinda matters here to me, I need to know volume levels. Also, it's the evening, I will assume it may have even been a Friday as most people don't decide on a Tuesday night "Let's road trip!" I mean, I do for Buc-ee's, but I also research ghosts, sanity might play a role... But I digress, it was October, Halloween season, baby! That is the best time of year to hang out with your boys, throw back a few cold ones, and enjoy the fact the mosquitos already went to bed (it's North Carolina, y'all, they don't go back to hell until December, not to mention it was mentioned that it was warmer than usual). Their story also heavily implies a stare-down. WTF? Why? Why was either group staring so hard at the other? Dudes getting drunk in their yard, OK, I get why they would stare as a truck with their brights on drive by (David said they stopped to uncover the off-road lights to use), but D&L? It's not what was said but how it was said. You know? It doesn't sit. But let's move on because this is long.
Next, D&L are at the park. Remember, friends—they have a camper, so all they need is a place to park, nothing more, they can set up anywhere! (This really is important later, I'm not just being a smartass.) They are also seasoned campers. On the Dogman Encounters podcast, David actually talks about how he used to go camping in a tent before he met Lisa, and when they started camping together, he got the camper. Straight up, that is really cute and sweet that he didn't want to make her camp in a tent, on the ground. I will note a cute couple moment. So, it is safe to say they are familiar with how state parks operate. Even if they are slightly different from state to state, you can expect some similarities. That being said, I would like to note that in North Carolina, state parks close at night. The Rangers go home. If there is a gate, you get locked in. Now, I will say this was 2009 and we are in 2024. I will also say this has been a thing long before 2009 as someone who had a lot of friends with nature boyfriends in my late teens and early 20s. But NC parks close at night, generally around dusk. Pettigrew State Park currently closes at 8 PM in October. (This is important later.) So they roll up after dark (which I did look up sunset times for the park in October 2009) and the Ranger is getting ready to leave, so we will say it's between 7-8 PM. They either saw the campsite first and then the Ranger pulled up to them on his way out, or they saw him at the entrance and decided not to stay because another camper was breaking down and leaving (they didn't ask why, he could have been just leaving after staying and waited until the last second to leave). It was told both ways. But that isn't what bothers me. What bothers me is D&L found it odd the Ranger was leaving and would be back in the morning when the park opened back up. The park closes at night, why wouldn't the Ranger go home and why did they find it odd that he did? Also, they decided not to stay possibly because it had been raining recently, but they have a camper so all they need is enough space to park (by their own account). Cool. If they were really worried about getting stuck, they sure didn't emphasize it at all. So they decide to head out with the Ranger and find a place to park for the night.
...after they left the park they could have parked at, they looked for a new place to go...park. Now I get not wanting to park in Creswell if the whole 4 or 15 dude incident happened as "described," so one might expect them to go to the next nearest town. Or the next. Or...the...next. My point is, they drove through a few little towns (and specifically through Columbia which isn't just a tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it place, it is a legit town where 64 and 94 meet and they would have seen it as well as a bunch of signs for it) to get anywhere near Roanoke Island just for a place to park for the night. There is another way they could have gone that hangs a left (west) at Creswell, then loops back around heading east, going further south before heading north again, but 1) they would have passed through/by even more small towns, like a lot more, and would have taken soooooo much longer and way too much gas that it doesn't even make sense.
But we make it to "the sighting" and per David, it's around 1 AM. Now, the park closes at 8, even if they were there until 11 PM, Roanoke Island is only 56 minutes away per Google Maps... Were they driving at 15 miles per hour? Abducted by aliens? Walking to Roanoke Island? (F*CK, this is a hard one not to be too much with.)
But they make it to just before Roanoke Island. We know this because David specifically says they saw a pupper that looked similar to a red wolf (more than likely a coyote, if it wasn't a red wolf) near Manns Harbor and then drove for 10 more minutes (I am guessing they took the Manns Harbor Bridge and not the Virginia Dare Memorial Bridge based on how much time passes). They hit something. He stops, grabs his gun, and checks it out. That is when he has his experience. Now, for all my nitpicky ways in terms of story-telling, I will just say that the thing that bothers me most about his encounter is the change in animals seen. Was it 2 or 4? The stories conflict. But also, some details were told EXACTLY the same. Exact wording and pauses. Does that mean scripted? Overtold? Like the way he said the teeth were "glinting in the moonlight" didn't change. I know, you are going to say "BuT yOu SaId..." Yeah, I know what I said—I wanted matching stories, but too matching isn't any more real-sounding than completely different. I am trusting my gut on this. Just stick with me for a bit longer, I'm almost there. I will go ahead and say that I harped on Lisa pretty hard on camera and on streams about Facebooking while her man was checking to see what they hit and not paying attention, so I will say, I made an error in my ranting, she did hear the gunshot, but she was also on her phone while he was checking to see what they hit at 1 AM. Also, he gets back in the truck all spooked and she doesn't look around in the side mirror or anything? HOW did she not see them running alongside? By David's own admission, they could be seen in the side mirrors. Look next time, woman! OK, I lied, more than one thing bothers me, but that's it. (I lied again, it also bothers me David admits to taking a headshot but missed. Don't go for the head if you don't know what you are aiming at. What if it was a person or a red wolf (also illegal to kill)? Shoot to wound, not kill. And I will not be discussing it further.)
To round out this story, they stay in the area for a week and on the final night, they are on the mainland near the island, camping at a business on Old Ferry Dock Road. Funny how well he remembers the road name, but that's just me being twitchy. Also funny how close it was to the "incident" and claims he hears something at night but blah, blah, blah, they STAYED FOR A WEEK?? They were so freaked out they couldn't stay at a campground for one night, but could stay in the area where legit shit went down for a week? No. No. No. I do not buy it. Especially not when paired with him meeting someone else who claimed to see the same exact dogman either right after or the morning after the sighting. And then the day after sighting #2, yes, insert jokes here, the business owner dude just knew what he was going to say and made a "shh" gesture? Oh please. No. DO. NOT. BELIEVE. Dogman, come bite me if I am wrong, but this whole story is just that. A story. Oh, and he stopped just as they were leaving the area and swears he saw one watching them leave. Ok, boo. 😂 I can't. Y'all have already read too much of my ranting and this just kicks off more and we have other thoughts to get to.
Did they go camping in OBX? Sure. Did they hit something, possibly a dog, fox, coyote, wolf or even person? Sure. Was it a canine cryptid? Highly doubtful. Their whole story reads too much like an urban legend that never happened. I'm not even mad that this only links with Pettigrew State Park because they were going to initially stay there because I do think the area in question for this story is easy enough for a wild canine or bear to roam.
So with that being said, let's move on to that side of my thoughts and I shall be less of a salty dog...
We do know something canine in nature appears to be the cause of Brenda Hamilton's death in 2019. It is disappointing that we do not have more than that, because if there is/was a canine attacking people or pets, that animal(s) needs to be found. All "what could do this" thoughts and theories aside, it is tragic someone lost their life in such a way. The immediate jump to "a werewolf or dogman did it" is not necessary as there are more logical and real possibilities. That being said, werewolves should be in the clear as the moon was only 78.19% illuminated and still waxing (not yet full).
We also know that black bears are nearby. Like roughly 50 miles by trail (per Google Maps) from Pettigrew to the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula, which has the highest density of black bears in the world. Not just the US or North Carolina, the whole world. It is possible these fuzzy babies roam a bit looking for their dinners or mates. We know from researching The Legend of Sica Hollow State Park that black bears average 3-5 feet high on all fours and 5-7 feet tall when on their hind legs. If and when people think they are seeing a large canine cryptid, they could be seeing a black bear.
Coyotes are also in the area. In fact, having heard the ghost story for the nearby Somerset Place haunting and having not yet done any additional research, I am willing to bet either coyotes or foxes are the culprits for the screaming heard in the middle of the night. During recent coyote hunts, multiple black coyotes were found. Known as "devil dogs," 3 out of 149 seems high for a rare coyote, but I am not going to let that take me down another thought train of increased devil dog numbers. Just yet...
The red wolves were hunted to near extinction by the 1980s and the surviving population was moved with only 100 wolves left. I am curious why the move and not "STOP HUNTING THE RED WOLVES!!!" and "NOT EVERYTHING IS A COYOTE!!!" but it is the US. Sadly, the red wolf population has continued to shrink, especially as people tend to confuse them with coyotes and shoot them. They also have been breeding with coyotes, which has thinned the number of pure wolves. Please note that it is illegal to kill a red wolf and every death is investigated. Do not shoot the wolves!!!
These wolves, coyotes, coywolves, black coyotes, and black bears could very easily be what people are seeing. Various canines (and bears) to werewolves seem like simple, mistaken identities, case closed.
...Except there are stories dating back from before the red wolves were moved to the state. Before the coyote population grew. Stories of dogmen in the mountains. North Carolina mountains. Who could say if they didn't migrate to the coast for some reason over the years? And what about those dear, not so sweet, devil dogs? 3 out of 149, or roughly 2% of the hunt, but the population percentage is really closer to 5.9%. Take that number and multiply it by the estimated amount of coyotes in NC (again, 250,000 is Georgia's estimate and it is considered a good one for NC) and we potentially have 14,750 devil dogs in North Carolina. They are bigger than regular coyotes too, adding an extra level of "WTF is that growling at me?" to the mix. Sure, it's just a "pet name" for a rare trait and not a name for something we don't have another name for. Or maybe when the Devil went down to Georgia, he let Spot off the leash in North Carolina...
Until next time, Lore Lovers, stay spooky💖
