COLUMBUS – Columbus police were sent to an apartment on West Fifth Avenue early Thursday after a caller reported that a woman was claiming she is a witch and that her brother is a werewolf, according to police dispatch radio traffic.

The call went out at about 1:43 a.m. Oct. 29 on Columbus police dispatch radio. “She’s claiming she’s a witch and her brother is a werewolf,” a dispatcher said. Other brief radio traffic followed, including the words “We were just there,” but the audio was too unclear to tell who said it or what it referred to. CrimeRadar, which posted the audio, listed the call as a medical emergency.

The dispatch audio did not say why the call was made or what officers found. No injuries or arrests were mentioned on the radio, and no names were given. The Columbus Division of Police had not released any information about the call as of Thursday evening.
