Except when they're suffering an attack of the rare illness that turns them into crazed beasts, they look like any of your friends or neighbors, experts say. Dr. Werner Bokelman, an Austrian anthropologist who has studied werewolves for 30 years, has developed a test to help identify the werewolves among us. Werewolves have extra glands that emit nasty smells. Doctors in Denmark say that's a certain sign of the beast inside. Werewolves' arms, legs, and bodies are extremely hairy, especially the backs of their hands and the tops of their feet.
Experts say a long ring finger is a sure sign a person is a werewolf.
Werewolves have enormous appetites and like to sink their fangs into large, fleshy animals. It would take 100 chickens a week, for example, to satisfy the average werewolf. If so, you are living close to a werewolf. It takes a few hours for a werewolf to change from human to animal form. The first sign is a gradual darkening of the skin.
