The skull was recorded by the historian Filip Ganev, when he was in Novo Selo to study and write books in the area of ​​the Balkan War before. The farmer showed Ganev a skull in a strange box. It looks like the wolf of a wolf but is larger and has characteristics that are only found in primates.

However, the origin of the skull and its mysteries still attract the attention of many people.

Ganev said the werewolf is a popular image in the Balkan folklore. The legends in many regions here recount that people born are capable of changing the shape to become a wolf, especially the newly born children have more hair. Many other places believe that the dead carry a felony or associate with the devil will be reborn as a werewolf.

Also according to legend, werewolves are eliminated by exorcism performed by monks, by beheading and burning the body. It is thought that the werewolf was killed on Saturday because it was the day they lay resting in the grave and could be easily captured.

Trayche Draganov is very proud of his findings, he is very comfortable leaving people interested in reviewing. Many people in the village advised him to bury it in the soil.

"They said that I would be reborn as a werewolf because fate had given me a werewolf's skull," Draganov said.
