Even a person with a simple heart, a person who does not forget to beg at night, will inevitably turn into a wolf on the night of the full moon when the aconitum is in full bloom.
Legends about werewolves have been around since ancient times.
For nearly half a century, werewolves have undoubtedly become one of the hottest topics in Western mystical culture.
This monster usually looks no different from ordinary people, but on the night of the full moon, it will turn into a werewolf, losing its rationality and morbid rage.
There are many modern film and television works that often mention vampires.
Connect with werewolves and see them as enemies of each other.
We often see scenes of vampires and werewolves fighting, such as Tales of the Night, Byrne the Werewolf, and so on. Sometimes we even imagine ourselves as one of them, able to be as strong, long-lived, and never age as they are.
It can be said that the image of the werewolf, like the vampire, has penetrated into our lives through mass media and popular culture.
So in this issue, we talk about the legend of the werewolf, one of the three great monsters in the West.
The origin of the werewolf legend is still difficult to trace, and there are many opinions and lack of recognized origins.
In order to deepen the relationship between the two, the movie "Legend of the Night" wrote such a background about the origin of werewolves. In ancient Europe, a plague broke out and people died one after another. One of them was named.
Thus, Alexander's commander, Covinus, also contracted the disease, but he was the only one who survived.
Alexander had three children, unfortunately, two of whom, Marcus and William, were bitten by bats and the other by wolves.
Only one is an ordinary person, two brothers mutated by the virus, one is the ancestor of the vampire, and the other is the ancestor of the werewolf.
Since then, werewolves and vampires have spread across Europe
But the above is only the original content of the movie, and the true origin of the werewolf is unknown.
Early stories about werewolves date back to 1216 AD. In October of that year, King John Lakeland of England was poisoned by a monk and eventually died.
It is said that this poison contains wolf poison, and those who eat it will turn into werewolves. Soon people would hear all sorts of howls coming from his grave, the terrible inhabitants.
Drag the body out and let it rot.
But it wasn't long before someone claimed to have seen the king turn into a werewolf wandering through the forest.
Over the next hundred years, rumors of werewolves grew so great that Sigismund, the leader of the Germanic dynasty of the Roman Empire in the 15th century, urged the Church to formally recognize the existence of werewolves at the Grand Council in 1414.
By the 16th century, the legend of the werewolf had spread throughout Europe, and the Holy See decided to launch an official investigation.
The investigation is not good. A survey actually found thousands of cold paranoia patients throughout Europe, the continent, the largest of which were French, Eastern European, Serbian, Polish, Simian and Hungarian werewolves legends were born in this context. The superstition that a werewolf could turn into a wolf can be traced back to the deep boudoir of the Middle Ages, learned about the early Middle Ages.
Europeans are no longer strangers to werewolves.
At the time, the Roman Inquisition considered the Tai, Christians, Witches, and Werewolves to be Y-Believers.
Among these pagan demons, werewolves are considered the most dangerous.
Because they used to be human, they especially hated other normal people. Their main prey and food is the people around them and their livestock.
Because werewolves are extremely ferocious, victims of their attacks often suffer severe bodily injuries.
Under the guidance of the official rule of the Church, the fear of werewolves developed into hysteria, and thousands of people were forced to confess their sins.
These perpetrators are usually sentenced to probation after pleading guilty.
In the 16th century, about 30,000 people in France alone were identified as werewolves or vampires and burned alive.
At the time, werewolves were thought to be easily recognizable. Their eyebrows are connected, their palms are.
And their personalities are very withdrawn, like hermits and the like.
It can be seen that the genetic patients with abnormal appearance in European society at that time, the albino patients who were particularly sensitive to sunlight, and some lost, abandoned, and adopted wild children all became victims of the cruel policies of the Church, and superstitions intensified.
By the end of the 17th century, word spread about werewolves, saying that werewolves would turn into zombies that attacked human blood after death.
For some time, there have been rumors of vampires and their victims in countries and regions such as Silesia, Bosnia, Simiya, Poland, Hungary, Modovia and Russia.
In this regard, in the Greek tradition of superstition, the harmless living corpse became a bloodthirsty demon.
However, this panic is only caused by rumors that have never appeared in history except for some wild histories, legends, and film and television novels.
No formal written record, in real life, can capture the true existence of the werewolf.
Therefore, opinions vary as to whether there are werewolves in real life.
Some say werewolves are just wolf children.
There are many legends about wolf children all over the world.
Some babies are abandoned in the forest and may be raised by wild animals, eventually losing their humanity and becoming wild animals.
This is the case with the famous boy Kamala
Some people think that werewolves may be a phenomenon of atavism.
The phenomenon of atavism refers to the genetic phenomenon of certain organisms that occasionally appear certain characteristics of their ancestors.
For example, the hind limbs of dipteran insects usually degenerate into balance rods, but occasionally individuals with two pairs of wings appear.
Now humans occasionally see children with short tails and hairy people, such as the famous blind children, who are covered with trees.
From a distance, it looks like a tiger.

In addition, more people think that the so-called werewolf is actually a mental illness, sudden wolf insanity. People with this disease often fantasize that they are wolves, and there are not a few patients who have suffered from wolf-dementia in history. Of course, these are all speculations made by netizens based on werewolf stories, rumors and stories.
As for whether there really is a werewolf who can completely change from a human appearance to a wolf on the night of the full moon, it is not known due to the lack of empirical evidence.
In fact, there are myths and legends about humanized beasts in the cultures of all ethnic groups in the world, such as China, the fox demon written by the poet, Peru, the leopard man, the Indian, the tiger demon, and so on. These beasts are terrifying in the eyes of the locals.
As the French philosopher Rousseau said, if you want to prove whether it happened in history.
Hurting something requires proof of trustworthy people, in addition to the proof of oral legends. It is best to have reliable evidence, otherwise it is not easy to jump to conclusions.
Therefore, we should remain cautious. After all, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

In October 2006, Russia's Pravda newspaper published an explosive news story saying that relatives and friends in the police car had confirmed that his family belonged to the legendary werewolf family.
