Most werewolf legends are tales of curses, monsters, and terror lurking in the shadows. But what if one of history's most famous werewolves claimed to be a servant of God?

 

In this episode of Psycho Bob Says…, Psycho Bob the Cat sends Shakin Shaner down a fascinating rabbit hole into the strange case of Thiess of Kaltenbrun, an 80-year-old man who appeared before a court in Swedish Livonia in 1691 and openly declared himself a werewolf.

​

What followed was one of the most unusual supernatural testimonies ever recorded. Thiess claimed that werewolves were not agents of Satan but "God's hounds"—supernatural warriors who descended into Hell to battle witches and recover stolen crops, livestock, and blessings for the good of humanity.
