    ​@@jefffinkbonner9551Man walked with dinosaurs.. plenty of documentaries out there loaded with evidence. The name dinosaur was coined in 1840 but before then they were called dragon's. We have actual proof with that T-Rex thighbone that was found with tissue and blood DNA that for sure didn't hang around for millions or billion's of year's. Do a little digging and you'll come to only one conclusion. They've been lying. They claim to age the bones by the geological columns but that's incorrect as well because they've found trees standing up through supposed ages of time which no one knows of millions of years old trees and the one's they find upside down certainly calls their methods into question. Sea shells found at the tops of some of the highest mountains points to a big time flood taking into account that tribes all over the world all have flood stories.

    Since they have a remedy to "Cure" Lycanthropy, has anyone tried it on a human with rabies? I am sure rabies were a common issue back in the Roman times, since... let's face it hygiene wasn't up to modern standards... I mean.. they wipe their ass with a sponge on a stick... an actual SHIT STICK. I digress... Rats would be an issue, and so would rabies. I wonder if this description could actually be looked into, in order to see if it has actual medical value?

Spray your friends and suspicious looking people with bottled coyote piss because I hear that kind of thing will force the dog man out from hiding. If the person vomits from the rich coyote flavor they are not lycontropes but if they don't continue spraying until they show their true form.

    Me and a friend saw one in Pearland TX around 10 years ago around 4-5 AM. We both were frozen, the air had this pressure and bloodlust as it walked on 4s down the street w a dog in its mouth. It passed just a few feet in front of us and we dared not make a sound. The beast went into the woods/field behind the houses. The beast was bigger than my 2000 Honda Civic & now that I think about it there is a lone house/cottage back there where me and my sister used to pick blackberries.. I'm just glad I wasn't alone in seeing it.

    1. Seasonal wolf pelt costumes of that culture embellished with talltales from travellers from the steppe's shores, neighbouring them, to Athens 2. Some sort of wasting disease that makes sleep-walking more likely 3. Some neighbors that really hated poor tortured Peter Stubbe decided to get rid of him by making up bullshit about him being a witch and watching him transform, by taking advantage of (a) man-eating wol(f/ves) in the area, that were starving that season for whatever reason (which often leads to that historically, when a member of the pack in their desperation discovers they can take down human children and petite women, when they are usually afraid of Humans, by nature originally, because how tall we stand; canines mostly judge size vertically only, when it comes to sizing others up)...or it was just all made up coming along the way from "the continent". 4. I've actually studying the very fascinating case of the Beast of Gevaudan on multiple occassions, and there is actually records that give much much more information than the account read here. I suggest anyone who may read this check it out for yourself, but honestly: It seems very likely to me that if the beast was not some sort of deformed wolf or dog, it was even more likely some form of African predatory mammal, that either escaped or was released, after being brought to France by ship, the folks of that backwater part of France had never seen before. Especially if you take into account the description of the strange (to those who killed it and later observed the kill atleast) animal that was killed by some men, and then the killings stopped, sounding VERY similar to certain known African animals. Almost no one at the time claimed it to be anything but an unknown beast (which did, though, lead many of them to consider it demonic in origin, but not a werewolf). 5. Dude just had some kind of paranoid psychosis, very exacerbated (or perhaps even brought on entirely) by getting fucked up on the shit he was indulging in.

    The second story is based on the effects of people with rabies, as rabies does something that i cant remember to your throat and makes you instinctively avoid water. Apparently it hurts to drink water, and you suffer from extreme dehydration, as well as being more aggressive and lashing out because of said dehydration and rabies. People would see other people get sick and go crazy from wolf attacks, but we now know that a multitude of animals carry it.

    Med student here: #2 sounds a bit like what happens in untreated Diabetes Mellitus: the profound thirst and dehydration, which also leads to dry eyes and mouths, along with the wasting, and it significantly slows the healing process, so people having lots of cuts and bruises that wont heal sounds reasonable. Sleeping trouble also isn't an unusual symptom in this context. Odd to think that "werewolves" were just ancient, untreated diabetics.

    Although quite possible they were just diabetic (with ancients not understanding what we consider common day diseases), why were they specifically wondering around tombs and not wanting to come out during the day??? Genuine question.

    @@serinawoods-huntley1175 Not sure about the wandering around tombs thing (this might've been a bit of dramatic flair added by the author?), having very dry eyes would make being in brightly lit places rather uncomfortable. If you're losing massive amounts of water via urination, and drinking more doesn't seem to solve the problem, and now your eyes hurt all the time, then thinking "I'll just avoid going outside at night" is a pretty reasonable response. Alternatively, maybe it was their attempt at mitigating the effects of diabetic retinopathy (essentially a condition where having very high blood sugar ends up damaging the blood vessels which supply the eye) Just a guess on my part, of course.

    The case of the Beast of Gévaudan is quite perplexing, but it is not unique. Accounts of attacks by "beasts"/cryptids/unidentified animals were not unique to France and that time period - there are lesser known cases all around Europe, as enumerated in the book "The man-eater of Gévaudan" (by Giovanni Todaro). And there is a quite increase of such accounts in the 18th century - I suspect that is not because they were more prevalant, but probably due to a higher development of the use of the press during this time period. I myself made a video about such accounts in my country of origin, one being very close to the time period of the Beast of Gévaudan.
