Gibson.com recently posted a story describing how a 13-year-old Norwegian boy was saved from a wolf attack by playing a MEGADETH song on his phone. More details have emerged and it turns out the boy actually prevented the attack by playing a tune by CREED.
Walter Eikrem, who lives in the town of Rakkestad, was walking home from school when four wolves entered his path. Eikrem was listening to Creed’s Overcome and he decided to remove his headphones and turn the volume up to try and keep the wolves away, according to NME.com.
He said that the animals “didn’t really get scared, they just turned around and simply trotted away.”
Although wolf attacks are not common in Norway, the animals are often spotted in the countryside. Eikrem remembered some advice he had learned previously about how to survive a wolf encounter.
“The worst thing you can do is run away because doing so just invites the wolves to chase you down,” he said.
