The Whispering Woods - Real Life Ghost Stories
Society & Culture:Documentary
Throughout European folklore, the werewolf is a prevalent concept that has taken on many variations. These interpretations share a common thread: a Christian interpretation of European folklore that evolved during the medieval period. As colonialism took hold in the New World during the early modern era, werewolf beliefs also spread. The belief in werewolves and witches developed concurrently during the Late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The trial of supposed werewolves emerged in Switzerland, particularly in the Valais and Vaud regions, in the early 15th century, eventually spreading throughout Europe in the 16th century. The trials reached their peak in the 17th century before eventually subsiding by the 18th century.
