Werewolf legends and werewolf facts, according to grandma

On the power of the moon: "For three days, the moon is full enough to boil the blood and make a man turn wolf. The sec­ond day the curse is at its strongest, and the higher the moon is in the sky, the more deadly the wolf."

On werewolf appetites: "In human form, they can eat any­thing humans eat, although they're partial to meat. In wolf form, they're driven to eat their weight in meat each night, and it must be the meat of a fresh kill."

On the mind of the werewolf: "The mind of a human infected with the werewolf curse doesn't always start off being evil, but the way I see it, a person turns evil real quick."

On werewolf redemption: "Ain't no such thing. No antidote, no remedy, no turning back. Only way to save a werewolf's soul is to end its misery, and hope the good Lord truly does have infinite mercy."

On the chances of surviving a werewolf: "We all have to die someday. Let's hope we die as humans."
