Once again Halloween is here to haunt us with its stories and myths. One of my favourite ones is that of werewolves. What's behind their legend? The BBC casts some light with this factual video which will surely interest you enough to leave a comment below.
On Sunday night I will be alone at home, does anyone feel like coming to have dinner with me? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is really surprising. It's a strange kind of madness. MIguel Angel 1ºNI.
ReplyDeleteI´ll never accept an invitation from a man so different in a dark night in halloween from werewolf, I´ll be afraid with him
ReplyDeleteReality or fiction?
ReplyDeleteWould you accept an invitation from a stranger?
I wouldn´t, do you?
We don´t know what young man wanted, but i´m sure that it wasn´t happened it...
ReplyDeleteThis video is terrifying, but I think the werewolves don´t exist, like the psychiatrist says, it´s a upset mind.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I've never heard about this psychological disorder, but I've always believed that Michael J. Fox was a real werewolf!! Take a look to a video called
ReplyDelete"Teen Wolf Trailer" in YouTube. Cool! Isn't

My mother always told me "Be careful with strange people".She was right but I never thought we could find on the street a werewolf.This is too.

I was in an job meeting with a werewolf just the last week, that's what I thought, to many hair in his finger. I was lucky, he didn't look hungry.

Accepting an invitation from a stranger isn't a good idea!!!! But, werewolves only exist in our minds.

In my humble opinion, the narrator of the video is quite peculiar and he seems to be the werewolf here...

It is the first time I've heard to talk of this pathology, it would be interesting for me to know a real case and to study it in depth :)
ReplyDeleteI´m agree with all who think that you never must accept an invitation of a stranger to his home, of course. However it must be very interesting to discover what happens in the mind of those patients who have psicotic ilusion and believe they really became transform into wolves.
ReplyDeleteIt´s incredible what a sick mind can come to belive and do.
ReplyDeleteReally, I´m more afraid of the british Iker Jiménez. I wouldn´t like to meet him in the middle of the night and that he say me with that suspicious voice: GOOD NIGHT!!!
ReplyDeleteThe pathology is strange but there´re so strange things that another more...
Anyway, be careful with a hary man in nights of full moon...

"I become bad, and I want to bite, I want to drink blood, I want to eat flesh."
ReplyDelete"After observing him for three months, I__________ many different test, I diagnosed him licantropy pathology."
I hope not to meet any werewolf, but if a stranger, with big and hairy hands speaks to me, I will run....

In the sixteenth century there was ____________ werewolves trials.
ReplyDeleteI´ve got to know this man when I first arrived in prison, and when I began to interview him it became clear that he was not like a normal prisoner. When I interviewed him I was surprised because it was the first time I had in front of me someone who described the symptoms of transformation into werewolf.
ReplyDeleteI don´t like the stories about werewolf but I think there is a legeng very old and may have a meaning.I will never accept an appoinment as well.
ReplyDeleteI think some upset minds believe in they are anormal appareances, but it is just this, upset minds. I love hearing mistery legends of misunderstood people, but I don't believe most of it.
ReplyDeleteIn the 16th century there were dozens of werewolf trials. But the French city of Bordeaux, once the site of such a trial in 1603 was also the setting for a much more recent case. In 1989 a terrible sequence of events brought the werewolf myth out of the history books and onto the streets. A 28-year-old man invited a stranger into his home to share a meal with him. Suddenly the young man launched a vicious and unprovoked attack on his guest beating him to death with his bare hands. The killer was quickly caught and jailed. It seemed like an ordinary act of random violence. It was only when he was seen by prison psychiatrist Michel Benezech that the whole chilling story emerged.
ReplyDelete“I got to know this man when he first arrived in prison, and when I began to interview him it became clear that he wasn’t like a normal prisoner. When I interviewed him I was surprised because it was the first time I had in front of me someone who described the symptoms of the transformation into a werewolf. He said to me I feel that my teeth are growing longer and I have a feeling that my skin is not my own, but that of a wolf or a werewolf. I become bad and I want to bite. I want to drink blood, I want to eat flesh. When he told me about his violent crimes, he described them in detail. He never expressed the least bit of remorse. On the contrary, he was positively jubilant. After observing him for a few months and running many different tests, I diagnosed him with lycanthropy.”
“Lycanthropy is a medical term used to describe patients that psychiatrists and doctors see, and the patients appear to be suffering from a psychotic delusion where they believe that they become transformed into wolves. And it’s a genuine belief. These patients are not pretending to become werewolves”.
