There’s a legend they That’s where the Lone Wolf Ranch got its name Velma read from her guidebook This area was full of wolves when the ranch was founded a hundred years ago used to tell around the campfire when I came here as a kid Fred said During a full moon one night a hundred years ago a giant wolf appeared and drove all the other wolves away So the owners made a statue of the giant wolf to protect them for all time Some people believe the giant wolf was really a wolfman Velma added And that his spirit is still trapped inside the statue to keep the ranch safe Shaggy said Like it sounds kinda creepy to me 5
Believe me Fred said there’s nothing Then what’s that Daphne asked as she creepy about this place pointed out the window Fred stopped the van short as a scary looking man stepped in front of them He had a craggy face and wild hair sticking out in all directions He carried what looked like a big hammer
