possible way of becoming a "Werewolf"

the only way to become a real werewolf is to drink the blood of a werewolf host.

Why would you even want to be a werewolf? Werewolves in the classic mythology are ravening killers, without mercy or consience.

i see. that is quite alright, do u study animal psych or human psych? I am a soft tissue specialist in canines and have been wanting to get into animal psych. Especially dogs! So interesting!

LOL jedimiller, I thought that was vampiers....
Aren't you supposed to just get bitten by a werewolf? As for the human transformation part.... try working behind a bar.... I see people transform into animals every Thursday and Friday night!!

Well, in the classical sense of the word, a werewolf is probably the most apparent manifestation of physical power that humans have been able to come up with.

Combine that with near-immortality, and it's not surprising that people would be willing to trade their morality for being one of the most powerful beings on the planet.

People are capable of far worse things than simply being ravenous killers, friend.

A little while ago* i made a point of researching several different subject areas to a point of which i had a basic understanding of the concepts of each individual specialised field.

Among those individual fields was psychology - and i prefer to view animal and human psychology as one and the same, albeit human psychology being quite a bit more complex what with each of the different schools.

I'm aware of the fact i have short-comings, and in all honesty i'm a bit disappointed with myself that i stopped being so meticulous about everything, but like i said - i learned to take joy in the simpler things in life.




*Okay, it was years ago.

No actually ravening killer is pretty much at the top of the list of bad things. My humble opinion, of course.

Trade ones humanity for immortal bloodlusting murder? Gee, what a cool trade off...not.

Anyhoo...being a werewolf at the mercy of the full moon, and ones psychopathic urges just isn't for me. Others may hope otherwise, and in the words of a wise person "careful what you wish for, you might just get it."

Oh, okay - so serial killers estimate where exactly on your scale of menace?

Sorry, i was a little patronising there.

My point is that there are people out of there capable of greater evil than just simply going out and killing every person they see - after all, we have people like Hitler as an example.

He made killing people an occupation.

Doesn't a serial murderer qualify as a ravening killer? If not, my bad...I'd put 'em right close together on my list of bad things.

Though I'm not really sure how we got from were wolves to serial killers? Unless someone, back in the day, was a serial killer and disposed of his/her victims in the woods and when they were discovered gnawed upon by wolves, the folks made a mistaken assumption, and blamed a human-wolf hybrid aka werewolf.

Sorry, saw the second post after I made this one. We both seem a little testy, and considering the topic, that's a bit unwarrented. My apologies.

Excellent point, in the end we are just animals aren't we!

Humans are capable of a lot worse things than killing people.... for example: torturing and THEN killing someone.

Perhaps your idea of a ravening killer is different from mine, or your idea of a serial killer is different perhaps.

My idea of a serial killer is a human who has a predator psychosis who stalks a target for days, maybe even weeks before moving in for the kill.

I won't even utter some of the things serial killers have done in the past.

My idea of a ravening killer is a human who is totally and utterly insane (possibly has smoked crack consistently for a few years), and believes that his next door neighbour is a space alien who is controlling every aspect of his life - the kind of guy who one day snaps and "Goes Postal".

A Werewolf, in my understanding of the classical sense of the word - is a Human with the mind and a few shared characteristics of a wolf.

An animal, in otherwords.

It just so happens that this particular animal is capable of a human's cruelty.

*blushes*

I think you may be right, AT. I think I was working more from a definition of a spree killer, which to my mind would fit the werewolf explanation much better.

Sorry 'bout that. My mistake.

It's been a long day, and this good little boy needs his sleep, so I'm grabbin' my little bink and off I go. G'night, and watch out for things that go bump in the night...

I don't know if someone mention it before. The bellow article says all you need to know about werewolfs.

en.wikipedia.org...

Just read it. If i had this in the middle ages, people would throw anything they had on their hands at me (maybe even burn me) and i would have to kill animals in order to survive.

I remember a book called moon madness that report a way of bathing in a public fountain it started with and listed more things u had to go through.sorry just some stupid info.

You forgot the Halloween Costume =)

Not true. I studied the occult and witchcraft. It can alter your state of mind and cause weird and strange occurances. One thing it has never done is altered someones apperance. Witchcraft occult even possesion can not change your dna it can not change the atoms and molecules in your body. You may think you're a wearwolf but you will never physical change into one.

IMO I don't bielive in wehrewolves...
But whatever floats your boat!
I bielive in deformed animals, but thats just me

As for the photo, that can't be a werewolf, because it's obviously not night-time. You need a full moon for a werewolf, no?

I guess that depends, I mean Teenwolf only needed to get mad, he even played some basketball. All during the daytime.

But here's the best evidence you'll get for any sort of shapeshifting werewolf/dogman.

The "Gable Case" Supposedly only the video was recovered, and the people(who you used to see in the full version at the beginning of the film) never seen alive again.

www.youtube.com...

Now it's known as "The Legend", someone bought it out, the guy who supposedly found the tape i guess., you can't even find the full video on you tube anymore. It was discussed on these boards a couple times.

Looks like a gorilla at first but then looks like some sort of dog type beast when it begins to run toward the camera person, (cause you see what appears to be a distinct tail plus I don't think there's gorillas roaming around in Michigan), the person even puts the camera in the mouth of the beast to try and defend themselves, you can see semi large canines, but not long ones like a Gorilla has. My conclusion was that it's possibly a wolverine, or a bear, anyhow, heres some very clear footage of the end of the film, when the beast actually charges the camera person. Watch the entire thing, he even slows it down, you'll see the tail I'm tailking about. Unless it's a trained Gorilla, and it's all a hoax, and the tail is just a branch or trick of light.



Someone might be able to dig up the entire video on you tube, I didn't search that long, or maybe on google video. You can buy the entire video on the official Legend website, sorry i don't have a link.

It's pretty cool footage though. I just wish I could find the "entire" thing. It starts out with a person chopping wood, some snowmobileing, then a drive through the countryside, to where they spot the beast.

Like i said i think it's either a wolverine, or a very large dog, that just ran at his owner when he called him, and when he pouned on him (think how dino used to maul Fred, on the Flinstones), and the guy put the camera in it's mouth, then dropped it to the ground. Makeing for a good hoax. But it really looks like a gorilla when it's just sitting there, maybe it's a bear? Heck I don't know.

But why would you wanna become a werewolf anyway?

Did you ever see American Werewolf in London? Did you see how painful that transformation is??? No thank you
