Alaska, America’s final frontier, much of the great Northern land is still unexplored. Who knows what could be waiting to be discovered? There are a lot of stories ranging from ghosts on sled trails to cursed mines and abandoned towns, but one stands out as something unique. A monster that exists from beyond our time. It was thought to be long dead, or maybe it’s an ancestor, or maybe it is dead. Natives believe it to be an evil spirit with supernatural powers known as Waheela. Others call it the saber wolf.



Some say it’s as big as a bear and weighs 600lbs. The beast has claws like knives and thick black fur. Supposedly, it is related to the ancient dire wolf that was said to have died off some 12,000 years ago. The main problem with that is they grew to about 150lbs, the big ones got to 200lbs. Today’s wolves and dogs aren’t even related to dire wolves, but are descendents of another wolf species.



This particular wolf’s is more in line with an other prehistoric wolf that was thought to have gone extinct, the bear wolf. This so-called Saber Wolf was originally a legend of a place called Nahanni Valley, the valley of the headless men. This location in Canada got its name from the numerous accounts of headless corpses found in the area. Throughout that time, a large, furry wolf creature was spotted in the area. Locals said the creature would claim its victims by tearing the head from the body.



Many years later the beast seemingly vanished, but this came with sightings of a similar monster elsewhere, in the Northern wastes of Alaska.



The snow was heavy and thick on the north wind as the mechanic was sent out to service a station in the barren lands of Alaska. The blizzard was no trouble, the company vehicles were suited for it. But they weren’t built to handle monsters.



The snow turned the world around the man grey, nothing was visible. The truck was no longer on a road, but a snow-covered path leading across the flat ground to the electric station. The man pulled to the side of the road to wait out the storm.



Not long after, the man could spot a dark, grey figure on all fours about 30ft in front of the truck. He thought nothing of it as he was in the middle of the wilderness and there was bound to be animals lurking. He laid across the truck’s bench seat and tried to nap to pass the time.



The wind hollowed harsh against the side of the big truck, rocking the machine side to side. Then the truck shook a little too hard as the roof made a crumpling sound. The man sat up instantly to see the roof had been indented. The snow and wind raged, so he decided he best not leave the vehicle to see the cause at that moment.



Seconds later he was thankful he didn’t exit the vehicle, as a large, black wolf-like creature lurched from the roof of the truck to in front of the vehicle. It had large muscular hind legs and a bushy black haired tail. The creature turned to look back and the headlights shone a bright green glint across its eyes. The wolf gave a menacing snarl and bared its huge, sharp fangs. Then, the monster sprinted into the storm and quickly disappeared in the snow, leaving the man thinking he wouldn’t leave the truck cab for anything until the storm passed, for fear that thing could be anywhere in the storm watching, waiting for him with its four-inch fangs ready to sink into his throat. The fangs of an ancient creature, Saber Wolf.
