- The 1972 article calls it a werewolf, not the later “Butter Street Monster”; its exact encounter date is not given.
Field notes
The page labels source material with dates, page numbers, headlines, and reporter attribution, then distinguishes the original newspaper’s “werewolf” wording from the later name used for the legend. It also keeps the two 1965 monster reports in a regional-context section rather than treating them as evidence about the Butter Street encounter. The exact date of that encounter is not supplied.
