Exploring the Nature of Zombies and Werewolves

Zombies are generally understood as reanimated corpses rather than giant spiders, although the concept can vary. They typically represent people who have either died and are brought back to life or who are manipulated in some way, but other interpretations do exist. In contrast, the traditional notion of werewolves, where humans transform into wolves, lacks substantial evidence; however, cases of hypertrichosis—where individuals grow excessive hair—have historically led to such misconceptions. These unusual conditions may explain some historical accounts of werewolves, demonstrating how health issues can influence cultural folklore.
