Before the silver bullets, before Hollywood howls, the legend of the werewolf was already lurking in our oldest myths. From ancient Mesopotamian curses to medieval witch trials, from Navajo skinwalkers to the Beast of Bray Road—this creature has stalked our nightmares for thousands of years. But what do these stories really say about us?
In this episode, we track the werewolf across time, culture, psychology, and pop culture—because the beast inside us never really goes away.
