How did werewolve storys get their origion?
The first recorded Werewolf sighting took place around the countryside of German town Colongne and Bedburg in 1591. An age-old pamphlet describes those shivering moments vividly. Few people cornered a large wolf and set their dogs upon it. They started to pierce it with sharp sticks and spears. Surprisingly the ferocious wolf did not run away or tried to protect itself, rather it stood up and turned out to be a middle-aged man he was Peter Stubbe from the same village

Where did werewolves come from?
There are a lot of myths about werewolves and where they came from. here is one of them: "During middle ages, especially from 15th to 17th century, Europe was under the dark shadow of ignorance and superstitions. Towns were underdeveloped and people lived near woods. The fear of wolves was like a nightmare. Their attacks were so frequent and atrocious in nature that people even feared to travel from one place to another. Every morning, countryside people would find half-eaten human limbs scattered on their fields.

What are the origins of werewolves?
One "origin" is: During the 15th - 17th Century, Europe was full of suspicion, the fear of wolves was like a nightmare, Their attacks were so frequent that people even feared to travel from one place to another. Every morning, countryside people would find half-eaten human limbs scattered on their fields.

They started to pierce at it with sharp sticks. Surprisingly the large wolf did not run away or tried to protect itself, rather it stood up and turned out to be a middle-aged man. He was Peter Stubbe from the same village. Peter Stubbe was put on a torture wheel where he confessed sixteen murders including two pregnant women and thirteen children. Another "origin" is: In Greek mythology it also testifies the existence of werewolves. Their God Zeus once disguised himself as a traveler and looked for hospitality to the court of vicious Arcadian King Lycaon. The King recognized the God and tried to kill him by serving him human flesh. God Zeus caught the terrible trick and did not eat. Outraged, Zeus condemned Lycaon to spend rest of his life as a wolf. Most probably this mythology originated the Greek word "Lycanthrope" . Lycanthropy comes from the Greek lykoi: "wolf" and anthropos: "man".
When was the werewolf made up?
The concept of the werewolf goes back to the oral tradition, that is before there was a trustworthy writing system to record everything. It definitely goes back to the early bronze age at least. Even these early people were aware of psychosis or the creature within.

Whether you decide that they are real or not is up to you, but most werewolf sightings are probably just normal wolves, in most cases. It is not a "seeing-is-believing" sort thing. I think many people do believe in them but more people don't. Most cases of werewolves are merely myths or plain fiction or fantasy books. But hey, myself and the majority of the rest of the world may be wrong. And I don't mean that in a patronizing way.The first recorded Werewolf sighting took place around the countryside of German town Colongne and Bedburg in 1591.

The first agreed recorded "werewolf" was also a ghoul, or vampire, after death; after this particular legend, however, they were separated into two creatures.In that legend, the definition of a 'werewolf' was very vague; it basically involved eating the flesh of the long dead.Another legend from Roman/Greek mythology tells about how King Lycan killed his son and made a soup out of him, then fed it to hungry beggars, trying to see which one was a god. Zeus stepped out of his disguise and cursed King Lycan and his family and descendants to roam forever as wolves. This is where we get the word Lycanthropy, which is the scientific term for the mental illness that made one a werewolf in later time periods.Also, in the north, in Norse legend, there were men who were called berserker, (Ber-sarkers, originally) who were thought to shape-shift into the form of bears, or wolves, depending on what kind of pelt they wore, during battles.The word Werewolf comes from the Latin, vir (V is pronounced as a w,) meaning man. Literally, man-wolf.In Native American culture, there is a myth from a tribe stating that they came from the wolves, thus making them technically werewolves. Also, if you had a spirit guide that took the form of a wolf, you may be thought to have the ability to turn into a wolf.
Where did the werewolf legend begin?
The werewolf legend probably has independent origins in a number of cultures, probably the result of incidences of violent psychosis. Consider the Windigo of North America. The earliest incidence of a man/wolf legend I'm aware of is the Legend of King Lycoan in Arcadia (ancient Greece) Arcadian was a city state of Aborigines that preceded the true Greeks. King Lycoan offered Human flesh for Zeus to eat. Zeus took offence and change Lycoan into a wolf.
Are werewolves really living among us?
No, there is no suchthing as a werewolf the legend has it that During middle ages, especially from 15th to 17th century, Europe was under the dark shadow of ignorance and superstitions. Towns were underdeveloped and people lived near woods. The fear of wolves was like a nightmare. Their attacks were so frequent and atrocious in nature that people even feared to travel from one place to another. Every morning, countryside people would find half-eaten human limbs scattered on their fields. The first recorded Werewolf sighting took place around the countryside of German town Colongne and Bedburg in 1591. An age-old pamphlet describes those shivering moments vividly. Few people cornered a large wolf and set their dogs upon it. They started to pierce it with sharp sticks and spears. Surprisingly the ferocious wolf did not run away or tried to protect itself, rather it stood up and turned out to be a middle-aged man he was Peter Stubbe from the same village. Stubbe was put on a torture wheel where he confessed sixteen murders including two pregnant women and thirteen children. The history behind his downfall was rather bizarre. He had started to practice sorcery when he was only 12 and was so obsessed with it that even tried to make a pact with the Devil. Wearing a magic girdle he started to attack his enemies, real or imaginary. After several months, he would take the guise of a wolf and continued with his evil acts with more brutality. In the wolf form he used to tear up victims' throats and suck warm blood from veins. Gradually his thirst for blood grew and he roamed around fields in search of prey. The savagery of his crimes was beyond imagination. The trial record motioned few of them. Once two men and a woman were walking along a road that went through the forest Stubbe used to hide in. He called one of them into the forest. When the man did not return for a long time the second one followed his trail and also disappeared into the forest. When both the man didn't return for a long time the woman ran for her life. Later, two mangled male corpses were recovered from the forest, but the woman's body never reappeared. It was believed that Stubbe had devoured it all. Young girls playing together or milking the cows in the fields were his frequent victims. He used to chase them like a hound, catch the slowest one, rape and kill her. Then he would drink hot blood and eat tender flesh from her body. However; the most gruesome sin he committed was upon his own son. He took him to a nearby forest, cracked the poor child's skull open and ate brain from it. No punishment could match the magnitude of Stubbe's crime. His flesh was pulled off with red-hot pincer, his arms and legs were broken and he was finally decapitated. His carcass was burned to ashes. The Magistrate of Bedburg built a grim monument remembering the ghastly incident. Workmen put the torture wheel atop a tall pole with Stubbe's head above it structured with the likeliness of a wolf. Sixteen pieces of yard long wood cuts were hung from the rim of the wheel commemorating poor souls of the victims. The words of Stubbe's trial and execution spread across the lands in no time. His brutality, atrocity and savagery were beyond human comprehension and was readily related with the behavior of a wolf. People started to believe that such individuals with the shadow of wolves were living among them. They named them Werewolves.
