The True Story Behind the New Orleans Werewolf
In this gripping episode of Wake Up with Miya, we’re joined by Roy Stubblefield—a man whose terrifying 1981 encounter with a werewolf in New Orleans continues to defy explanation. His story, once dramatized on the Travel Channel’s These Woods Are Haunted (Season 3, Episode 3), is told here in full for the very first time—unedited, raw, and chillingly authentic.
Roy recounts that fateful July night in 1981 when he came face-to-face with a creature that shouldn’t exist. The towering beast, part man and part wolf, emerged from the darkness near the edge of the bayou—its glowing red eyes locking onto him before it unleashed a growl that seemed to shake the trees. Every instinct screamed to run, but Roy’s sense of disbelief rooted him to the spot.
The Encounter That Changed Everything
In this first part of our two-part series, Roy walks us through the events leading up to that night, describing the eerie sounds, the sudden drop in temperature, and the primal fear that overtook him. His story isn’t a campfire tale—it’s a firsthand account of a cryptid encounter that still haunts him to this day.
We discuss how his story has been misrepresented in television adaptations and why it’s so important for witnesses like Roy to tell their truth without filters. His courage in coming forward sheds light on a phenomenon many dismiss but too many have experienced to ignore—the Dogman or Werewolf of Louisiana, a creature deeply rooted in both folklore and eyewitness reports.
This episode explores the thin veil between myth and reality, between what science allows and what the human experience demands we acknowledge. Whether this entity is physical, interdimensional, or spiritual, one thing is certain: Roy’s encounter leaves a mark on anyone who hears it.
Stay tuned for part two of this series, where we go deeper into the evidence, aftermath, and theories surrounding what really stalked the Louisiana swamps that summer night.
Into the Shadows of the Unknown

His story of the New Orleans werewolf isn’t just about fear—it’s about the power of survival, memory, and facing what lies beyond human understanding.
