The Haunting Presence of Folklore Creatures

Folklore creatures like ghosts, revenants, zombies, and werewolves often carry the essence of the areas they inhabit. Medieval werewolves, particularly in Ireland, were not always depicted as terrifying. According to medieval stories, there were families of genetic werewolves in Ireland who passed the curse down through generations. Some stories suggest werewolves pass on the curse to divest their family, thereby becoming a werewolf by being bitten. These werewolves could engage in conversations and were depicted as decent individuals in some accounts.
