Encounters with the Good People

124 - When is a Werewolf, not a Werewolf?


Listen Later

The word ‘Werewolf’ conjures a fairly consistent image in our minds. An image sown long ago and fertilized regularly by film, tv, storybooks, comic books, role playing games, even video games. But, as with the stereotypical image of a fairy looking like a Tinkerbell creature, we must constantly remind ourselves that the Good People, are not like these fictional characters. They are real, they are unpredictable and they may appear before us in many forms: some of these creatures could even take a human-hybrid form.

In this episode we take a close look at two extraordinary reports of creatures, part-human, part-wolf and discover that they may have had entirely reasonable reasons for terrifying the Humans they encountered.

One of the things I love most about Encounters with the Good People is hearing of your own experiences, sightings or encounters and it always feels such a privilege too. To share our personal experiences is a wonderful way of better understanding the Good People: who or what they are, where they dwell and what their behaviour can tell us about what they might think of us.

In this episode we hear 4 incredible encounters sent in from listeners or viewers of Encounters with the Good People. I also invite you to share your own experience of a sighting or encounter with the Good People at my new email address: [email protected]
