Because of my focus on science fiction and mysterious events, I knew about werewolves earlier, but I didn't expect this werewolf to really exist.

In fact, werewolves were regarded as a disease in the earliest days. Sigismund, the fifteenth-century Hungarian king and head of the Germanic dynasty of the later Holy Roman Empire, at the Council of Ecumenia in 1414, prompted the Church to officially recognize the existence of werewolves.

By the 16th century, the legend of the werewolf had spread throughout Europe, and the Holy See decided to launch an official investigation, and from 1520 to the middle of the 17th century, tens of thousands of cases of wolf delusions were detected in Europe, with the largest numbers being in France, as well as Serbia, Bohemia, and Hungary in Eastern Europe.

The legend of the werewolf was born in this context, and the superstition that the werewolf had the appearance of a human but could turn into a wolf dates back to the medieval mythology.

By the beginning of the Middle Ages, Europeans were no strangers to werewolves. The Roman Inquisition at the time considered Jews, Protestants, witches, and werewolves to be pagans.

Among these pagan devils, werewolves are considered to be the most dangerous, because they were once humans, so they especially hate other normal humans, and their main prey and food are the humans around them and their domestic animals.

Due to the ferocity of werewolves, victims of their attacks are often severely mutilated. Guided by the official verdict of the Church, the fear of the monster of the werewolf grew to the point of hysteria: thousands of people were beaten into confessions of their crimes

"Sinners" are usually sentenced to be burned at the stake after pleading guilty. In the sixteenth century, in France alone, about 30,000 people were identified as werewolves or vampires and burned alive.

At the time, werewolves were considered easy to recognize, with their eyebrows together, hairy palms, and their very withdrawn personalities, like a hermit, etc.

It can be seen that the European society at that time had suffered from genetic diseases with abnormal appearances, albinos who were particularly sensitive to sunlight, and some lost, abandoned and adopted wild children who had fallen victim to the brutal policies of the Church.

Superstition intensified, and by the end of the seventeenth century rumors of werewolves had become blood-sucking zombies.

For a time, rumors of vampires and their victims appeared in Silesia, Bohemia, Poland, Hungary, Moldovia, and Russia.

So far, in the traditional Greek superstition, it is harmless to people

The "living corpse" has become a bloodthirsty demon. At that time, the Europeans had not yet invented

The word "vampire", each country names this magical animal with its own unique words that can be thought of.

The vampire incident has also caused strong repercussions in various places, even in Paris in Western Europe.

The Courier of Elegance, a magazine that was very popular with the French court, was published in the October issue of 1694.

Until the end of the XVII century,

The name "vampire" is still not a conventional term, but superstition about vampires has become a social phenomenon in Eastern European countries.

However, this great panic was caused only by a few rumors, and no official written record was seen, and it was not until the beginning of the eighteenth century that a collection of documents appeared.

And the legend of this werewolf is just the beginning. (To be continued)
