Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be exploring stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....
On Todays dark Enigma we will be looking at one of my favorites and I hope one of yours, werewolves! That’s right my darlings, we’re talking all things werewolves, but as always, before we get to the meat of the subject we have a little business to take care of first… our drinking game. Please remember the drinking game is only for those of you that are at home or have nowhere to go to after the game. Please drink responsibly and take an UBER if you need to get home. I want all my heathens present and accounted for every week. So for tonight’s game, we can use a fantastic shot that I found on the intoxicologist called the Midnight Moon Layered Shot, it’s a fantastic recipe created by Cheri Laughlin which is ½ ounce Coffee Liqueur, ½ ounce Amaretto and ½ ounce Irish Cream. You place the coffee liqueur and amaretto in the bottom of a shot glass and create a floated layer by slowly pouring the Irish cream over the back of a spoon. If you love coffee and you love alcohol, then this is the drink for you. Now for the game part… how about every time I say werewolf it’ll be a single shot and when I say Lycanthrope that will be a double shot. Alright, we have our game loaded so let’s howl at the moon and talk about some werewolves!

First, we’re going to start with a little history first and then we’ll move into some myths and beliefs.. So let’s get this party started… Werewolves, also known as lycanthropes, are legendary shape-shifting humans. As the name suggests, the shape these creatures take on is that of a wolf. The history of the werewolf legend has sprung up independently or spread to virtually every area of the Earth. It is also one of the oldest legends of human monsters in recorded history. Where the legend originated can only be guessed by what humans have taken care to record. Their other name, lycanthrope, may also be a hint at the origin of this myth.
