What if you became something monstrous—and remained human enough to remember everything?
This week on Hauntmates, Jeffrey and Mallory trace the roots of werewolf folklore through medieval tales of stolen skins, cursed bodies, and betrayal. From Bisclavret’s stolen clothing to the wolves of Ossory and Melion’s enchanted ring, these stories imagine people trapped in animal bodies, with someone else holding their only way home.
Then we step into the present with unsettling reports of upright canine figures near homes, woodland paths, and quiet backyards. We separate the old legends from modern, unverified Dogman claims while exploring the fear that connects them: something familiar becoming impossible to recognize.
