Obsessed with The Palmers

According to legend, a werewolf is a man who turns into a wolf at night and devours animals, people, or corpses but returns to human form by day. Some werewolves change shape at will; others, in whom the condition is hereditary or acquired by having been bitten by a werewolf, change shape involuntarily, under the influence of a full moon. If he is wounded in wolf form, the wounds will show in his human form and may lead to his detection. Belief in werewolves is found throughout the world. In French folklore, the werewolf is called loup-garou.  On this episode of Obsessed with the Palmers, Caitlin and Clay investigate on the truth behind the myth of these hairy beasts!   Obsessed with the Palmers podcast is brought to you by Brave Paws!
