Encounter with a Shewolf

There is a story from 1588 of a nobleman who had encountered a female werewolf. The story says the the nobleman saw a hunter he was acquainted with and asked him to report back with details of his hunt. The hunter went out and had a struggle with a wolf and cut off one of it's paws. When the hunter came back, he showed the nobleman the paw and they were appalled to find that it was, instead of a paw, a feminine hand with a ring on its finger. The nobleman thought the ring lloked like the one his wife has so he went to find her. She was in the kitchen covering her hand with a bandage because her hand had been cut off! She told her husband that she indeed was the wolf and she was burned to the stake a few days later.
