History of the Werewolf

The Mystery Lounge

From ancient myths to the movie theaters, the legend of the werewolf has taken on many forms — some terrifying, some downright hilarious. In this episode, we take a look at the history of werewolves: where the legend began, why people once believed in real wolf-men, and how the story evolved from medieval superstition to full moon movie icon.

We’ll explore strange historical “werewolf trials,” unpack how the myth spread across Europe, and see how folklore has changed over the years.

Grab your silver and join us in the lounge as we ask: why have humans always been so fascinated with turning into wolves?

Questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you.
