What do these creatures look like?

Werewolves aren't the most appealing looking creatures around. In fact, that's probably another reason why people are so afraid of them (for their killing and outrageous behaviors also). Werewolves are known to have bushy eyebrows in the form of a unibrow, long, sharp fingernails, a longer third finger on each hand, hair all over their body, and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. Many werewolves depicted on TV look similar to what's described. Werewolves are also supposed to have relation with a full moon-- whenever there is a full moon is when the wolves come out to attack.

Werewolf in Wisconsin

There have been sightings of werewolves in Wisconsin. In 1936, a man who was driving on a highway saw "a figures digging into an old Indian mound" (Taylor, 2002, par. 7). The figure was hairy and very tall. The man returned the next night t the same spot and heard the creature speak. Afterwards, the religious man prayed and then the creature disappeared. The creature was thought to be a werewolf because of its physical features.

Werewolf Attacks

Many people have heard of werewolves and seen different versions of attacks on movies and television shows. Werewolves are said to be almost superhuman when it comes to their senses making it perfect for attacking people at night. They have great night vision and an enhanced sense of smell so that stalking in the darkness even in a wooded area is no problem for them. This makes it very hard for victims to hide from them. According to legend, although werewolves have these heightened senses, when being attacked, if you use pure silver, you can harm the werewolf and be spared. They also have super-human strength which helps them to overpower their victims.

How to kill a werewolf(RB)

According to the legend there only only a handful of ways to kill one. One being a silver bullet. Apparently, they have this weakness just like vampires. The second way is to behead the werewolf. And finally the third is removal of the heart of brain(Monstrous). The first seems astoundingly hard to do the second and third methods but the first doesn't seem so bad. I don't think it's all that easy to behead a werewolf chasing you.

Where did Werewolves originate?

During the 15th and 17th centuries, Werewolves came about in wooded towns of Europe. The townspeople fear of wolves coming out was more than imagined. Bones and body parts would be found in the mornings of families’ fields. No one knew what it exactly was: “The first recorded Werewolf sighting took place around the countryside of German town Cologne and Bedburg 1591”(Sk. Nur-Ul-Alam). When the town’s people tried to kill the Werewolf it did nothing. The Werewolf turned out to be a man who lived in the village. He was tried for murder and put on a torture wheel. The people of the town said the killers shadow resembled that of a wolf, so anyone who had a shadow like his were dubbed Werewolves.
