John Douglas, one of the founding fathers of the profiling unit at the FBI posed a thought...What if werewolves and witches were how those from Europe and early America explained away the original serial killers? Instead of coming to terms with the atrocities that your neighbors performed, you instead blamed it on the occult or the supernatural?
We take a quarter pike, so very mini history dive into the long history of werewolfery and discuss two historical cases from the late 1500's and early 1600's that will have you give John Douglas statement some extra thought.
