from Lunatic Soup · host Megan Miller and Reyna Edmonds
This week we tear into the shadowy world of Irish werewolf legends. From the eerie stories of the Faoladh, said to be protectors rather than monsters, to the chilling accounts of Werewolves of Ossory, cursed to roam in wolf form, we unravel how werewolf lore across cultures may be more than just folklore. Why do so many regions share eerily similar stories of human-to-beast transformation? And who—or what—was Peter Stumpp, the man at the center of one of history’s most terrifying werewolf trials?
