Updated: CREED Song Saves Norwegian Boy From Wolves

January 20, 2011

According to Spiegel Online, a 13-year-old Norwegian boy avoided being attacked by wolves by playing a song by CREED on his mobile phone. (Note: It was previously erroneously reported that the track in question was from the band MEGADETH.)

Four wolves, who appeared before the boy when he was returning home from school, were scared away by the noise coming from the boy's mobile phone, the Zvuki.ru music web portal reported on Thursday.

"At first, I thought it might have been the neighbor's dogs," Walter Eikrem later told TV2, Norway's largest commercial broadcaster.

"I was afraid they would attack me," Walter told the Norwegian tabloid VG, describing the incident, which took place on Monday.

"The worst thing you can do is run away because doing so just invites the wolves to chase you down," Walter told TV2. "But I was so afraid that I couldn't even run away if I'd wanted to."

Eikrem said he was able to drive away the wolves by playing the song "Overcome" by CREED. "They didn't really get scared," Walter said. "They just turned around and simply trotted away."
