Okay, so my home town has/had its own werewolf. In fact back when it was first seen and caused a big ruckus the area it was frequenting was very close to not only where my dad lives now but also my mom (they actually live withing walking distance of each other even though neither knows where the other lives- and sister and I refuse to tell them). It was years ago when the werewolf sightings made the news but over the years the occasional stories of new encounters have made the rounds.
My home town is definitely not in the mountains but actually in what is known as "The Big Thicket". Reports of all sorts of cryptids has been consistent over the years with many sightings of werewolves, dogmen, Sasquatch, black panthers (which I have actually seen myself), UFOs (that I've had close up experience with myself), etc. It is also a hotbed of paranormal activity and in past incarnations of RN I have related a little bit of my own experiences. I have come to believe over the years that the entire area is a "thin spot" where the veil between dimensions is much easier to penetrate.
I believe the Appalachians is also a "thin spot". Though the terrain is completely different from where I was raised there are similarities between them. Lots of woods, fresh running water, lots of game, lots of Native American tribes in the areas and histories of much violence and death. And witches, always the witches.
Here in Kentucky we have our own werewolf and dogman stories, stories of "rake" sightings, lots of Sasquatch encounters, many mass animal killings such as you spoke of that have never been convincingly explained, even "Sheepsquatch". I actually even saw werewolf footage a lady got on her phone while walking her dog about an hour from here a few years back, an older, "no bullshit" kind of lady (it made the news). I myself have found massive paw prints a few times during some of our hikes in the woods- make the hair stand up on the back of your neck kind of massive because we were waaaay out in the woods with nobody around to help if shit went sideways.
I guess the point I'm getting to is that these people with their "fakelore" for clicks just want to make money, I don't think they're trying to muddy the waters- they're just greedy. If they put in a little more effort they might find something really weird to share with the world but that would require actual work and more time and energy than they are willing to spend. Monetization of social media is a bane on society!

As an American it's your responsibility to have your own strategic duck stockpile. You can't expect the government to do it for you.
