I have a good friend who grew up in Northern Canada. He's Inuit, and told a few stories of his tribe to me. One such story sounds eerily similar to these stories.
One such story was a person who, by indirect account, said that he could transform into a wolf at night. He was threatening the community with that. The elder knew how to do so as well, but chose not to until this threat came.
The 2nd night after this intruder showed up, the elder transformed. During that night, a ferocious fight was heard. Next morning, the elder said that the deed was done, and the intruder who threatened the tribe was dead.
The people searched the area, and found a man mauled to death by a wolf.
- lostgame 5y agoThe cynic in me immediately wants to dismiss this story - but I do have to say that’s a pretty damn cool story, even if it’s not true. It makes me wonder, for sure; and that’s cool enough in and of itself for me.
- kazinator 5y agoThe story is entirely plausible. The man was mauled by an ordinary wolf by coincidence; everything else was just bullshit talk. Long ago, some man who had some dispute with a village and was mauled by a wolf, and the story was invented and embellished from there as it was handed down.

- Dylan16807 5y agoAm I missing something, or is the only similarity "man turns into animal"? Because there's absolutely nothing eerie about that single element showing up in multiple places.
