IN THIS EPISODE: The idea of the werewolf has been with us for a long time \u2013 the first mention of a werewolf that we know of is over two thousand years ago. We\u2019ll look at the origins of the werewolf, look at whether they are actually real, and if so, how one goes about becoming one, and some of the cures believed to release the man from the beast. Of course, it\u2019s not always the Wolf-Man\u2026 sometimes it\u2019s the Wolf-Woman. We\u2019ll look at the most fearsome lady werewolves throughout history! I\u2019ll tell you about the trials and punishments of those convicted of being werewolves \u2013 many probably wish they\u2019d have confessed to being witches instead! Plus, what if I was to tell you that werewolves truly ARE real \u2013 and that a small village has been terrorized by them for decades \u2013 right up to modern day? There is convincing evidence to back up my claim! All of this and more werewolfism can be found in this episode! *** (Originally aired September 30, 2020)
