This page is dedicated to the collection of odd bits of information about WereWolves or the beliefs about them. If you have more WereWolf junk to send me, mail slathe@ksu.ksu.edu

• There is, or was (It may or may not still exist), a WereWolf Research Center in New York, U.S.A. It was run by a Dr. Stephen Kaplan and supposedly studied "real WereWolves". There were some pages set up on the WWW (the links no longer work) about the WereWolf Research Center, and also at least one article was written about it in a reputable magazine. Dr. Kaplan is also supposedly a leading expert on "real vampires" and has written one or more books.

• In a Statistical Survey done in 1992, it was found that 80% of the Russian population believed in WereWolves. In this century the Russian government has sent their army into the woods with machine guns and orders to shoot any WereWolves they see.

• Recently a Werehippo was reported in the suburbs of a modern city in Africa. This Werehippo openly claimed to be a Werehippo, and a hippo was regularly seen relaxing in his yard, far from places wild hippos lived. He and the hippo were never seen at the same time, and he was never seen transforming. However, his neighbors tried hard to get the government to investigate, but the government declined, claiming that it would hurt the reputation of the government if it even looked into something that silly.
