WEREWOLF
PEOPLE LIVING IN THE SLAVIC COUNTRIES STRONGLY BELIEVE IN THE

A CURSE ON THE WEREWOLF AND THAT WHEN THERE IS A FULL MOON, PEOPLE
IMMEDIATELY LOCK THEIR HOUSES BECAUSE THE WEREWOLF IS COMING.

THE STORY OF THE WEREWOLF
THE ORIGINAL WEREWOLVES WERE WOLVES, NOT PEOPLE. THEY WERE FROM
TRANSYLVANIA. WHEN THEY BIT PEOPLE, THEY TURNED THEM INTO WEREWOLVE
AND THE NEW WEREWOLVES COULD BITE OTHER PEOPLE AND TURN THEM INTO
WEREWOLVES. WHENEVER THE FULL MOON COMES OUT, THE WEREWOLVES SEARCH
AROUND FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO BITE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. THEY ALSO
COMMIT OTHER KINDS OF DASTARDLY ACTS, LIKE BURNING DOWN HOUSES
WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN BED. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF FROM A
WEREWOLF IS BY SHOOTING HIM WITH A SILVER BULLET.

VAMPIRES CANNOT SEE THEIR IMAGE IN A MIRROR. THEY
MUST SLEEP IN A COFFIN WITH DIRT FROM THEIR HOMELAND.
THEY ARE AFRAID OF CROSSES AND EXCITED BY BLOOD.
TO KILL A VAMPIRE YOU MUST DRIVE A WOODEN STAKE
THROUGH HIS HEART WHILE HE IS SLEEPING IN
THE COFFIN.

(AS HE TOLD IT)
TO HIS COFFIN BEFORE DAWN-BREAK, THAT'S WHAT HE LIVES IN, YOU KNOW.
BUT WHAT I'M SAYING' IS THAT HE CAN STILL GET BACK AND DIE HIS EVIL
DEATH. SEE IF HE GETS BACK AND SOMEONE HAS GOT AWAY WITH HIS DIRT
HE IS DONE IN. YOU SEE HE LIVES IN DIRT FROM HIS HOMELAND AND
NO OTHER AND SO IF IT AIN'T THE RIGHT DIRT HE'S DONE FOR.

"SOUCOUNIANT" OR "VOLANT" ARE PEOPLE THAT TAKE OFF THEIR SKIN AND
GO SUCK ANIMALS' BLOOD. THEY HAVE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDERNEATH
THEIR ARMS AND THEY CAN FLY. IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO GET BACK
INTO THEIR SKIN, YOU ADD SOME SALT, GARLIC, LEMON, ETC. TO THE
SKIN WHICH IS USUALLY LEFT IN A BIG BUCKET. ANOTHER WAY TO STOP
THEM IS TO DRAW A CROSS WITH A KNIFE, AND AT THE INTERSECTION OF
THE TWO LINES YOU STAB THE KNIFE.
Submitter comment:
MOST OF THE TIMES, THE "SOUCOUNIANTS" ARE WOMEN. I REMEMBER MANY
YEARS AGO THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED THAT THEY CAUGHT ONE AND
THEY TOOK HER TO THE HOSPITAL.
