Феномены	Wendigo Werewolf
Version type	Medical abnormalities

Mental disorder in canadian Indians: the sudden appearance of an inclination to cannibalism, the need for human meat. Detailed descriptions of the disease made in the 18th century, and the modern study of John. M. Cooper (Cooper) in 1933. Considered explanation for the phenomenon of wendigo (the legend of the canadian spirit-eater).

This behavior can be attributed to the induced damage, the spell, the effects of the sorcerer, the effects of demons and spirits, etc. from which the person "becomes" a werewolf or a vampire.
