Legend of werewolves

The stories of werewolves appear across cultures, reflecting the complex relationship between people and wolves over generations.

American author Linda Godfrey is one of those who believe in werewolf legends, or a more gruesome version of werewolf. In the book The Real Wolves : The 300-page modern encounters in the US, she offers dozens of stories about witnesses seeing firsthand the hairy animals running on two legs. The scientific community is not convinced with these stories, but they concede that the subconscious person must be wary of wolves around the night.

'The idea of ​​pure werewolves is just a product of our imagination, but it is made up of a thousand-year-old culture of fear before wolves' , according to Michigan Institute of Technology expert Rolf Peterson, who has studied this wild animal for decades in the Royal Island National Park in the Great Lake in Michigan State. Mr. Peterson dismissed the possibility of a werewolf, but even so it did not make people like Godfrey falter. 'I received hundreds of reports over the years . and perhaps a few cases have seen the mysterious creature' , the author told NBC News.

Werewolves exist in many cultures around the world

Godfrey recalled how shocked he was when he first ventured into journalism in 1991, she wrote about witnesses witnessed by a wolf-like animal, about 1.8 meters tall and running on two feet chasing at Elkhorn, Wisconsin state. This animal is called the 'beast on Bray Road' . Although unexplained on a scientific basis, Godfrey still maintains that there is the existence of a wolf-like creature. Of course there are also cases of hoaxes, and the biggest hit is the Gable video, which shows a scene of a black shadow attacking the camera holder. Later, it was discovered that the culprit was the two men who played a fake imitation of the legend of Michigan.

Godfrey also acknowledged that some of the werewolf reports were the fantasies of the godly gods who saw wolves or bears standing on their hind legs. Or the black hairs of a beard are someone who is bored with the prosperity of the city and slips into the deep forest. However, she still insisted that there were real werewolves somewhere, but not the wolf-man-like form of the popular Twilight vampire franchise, or the mutant that made their bodies thick like wolves.

Peterson is one of the scientists that Godfrey contacted in the hunt for werewolves. Although there is no reason to believe the stories of this female author, Peterson said there were several reasons that helped the werewolf legend sprout.'The foundation of wolf fear in people is not without evidence. Wolves are the most difficult species for humans , 'Peterson said. For example, rabies, which is common in Europe during the school's heyday in favor of werewolves, began in the 16th century. People panicked when they saw a victim bitten by a wolf or dog. Add the basis for wolf chemistry legend. Or in the past, wolves often attacked shepherds .

Besides, there is still another side in the relationship between people and wolves. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors tamed the wolf as the best friend of humanity. With the complexity of such a wolves' love-hate relationship, it is no surprise that cultures around the world circulate werewolf myths, according to Peterson.
