Do Werewolves Exist?

Reasons Why Werewolves don’t exist: Contrary to the belief that Native Americans have, that a man can change into an animal, people cannot turn into animals; it’s just not humanly possible. Therefore, there’s no way for a man to turn into a rabid wolf and start going around killing people. Additionally, the moon does not significantly influence how people act, despite what some may claim.

Reasons they could exist: We need to go back to the evolution chart. In a way, early pre-humans such as the Homo-Erectus and Neanderthals were more animal-like, so in a way, a werewolf was more possible. Also, there could be a genetic defect in a human to grow a tremendous amount of hair, so much that they look like a werewolf. While these defects are rare, there have been several known cases of this happening. Yes, this seems ridiculous, but again, these are just two theories as to how werewolves could exist.

Do Zombies Exist?

Reasons Zombies exist: Well, first off, Zombies do exist, just not in the way we think they do. Zombies are real, and it’s a practice of African Voodoo in which a person is controlled and sometimes even buried to believe they are dead. For a more thorough and better analysis, check out a piece called Voodoo Zombies vs Flesh-Eating Zombies on Monsters of Midian’s website. She gives a great breakdown of the difference and how real one is from the other. 

Reasons Zombies don’t exist: If you read the link I sent you, then you’ll know why and what kind of zombies exist. So the bigger question is, do the zombies we perceive in movies and television exist? Yes and no. The truth is they exist, except they aren’t called zombies, they’re simply called “cannibals”. People who eat flesh are not zombies; they are just cannibals and either psychopaths or people from an ancient tribe in other countries who believe in eating other humans. “Zombie” has no relevance to flesh eaters in the real world, but somewhere down the road, perhaps George Romero, the father of the first zombie movie, himself decided to create a new type of zombie who is dead and eats flesh and brains. The only way such a zombie could exist is if the voodoo sorcerer who made the zombie told him to eat human flesh and brains, so by that standard, they could exist, although I don’t think they believe in doing that.
