  • The Origins of Werewolves
    Jul 2 2025

    There's a full moon on the rise, and so Charles and Cassie have bolted the doors, stocked up on silver bullets, and armed themselves with any knowledge on Werewolves they can find. Going all the way back to the Paleolithic, they search for signs of wolf men hiding among cave people, Proto-Indo Europeans, Ancient Greeks and Romans, the Norse, and the Medieval Irish, before investigating the infamous Wolf Trials from the 15th century onwards.
