Name : loup-garou

Origin : The celebration of carnival in Haiti reaches its high point during the three days before Ash Wednesday, in which all the shadowed, hidden, or repressed aspects of society at every level can be freely expressed. Voodoo makes a strong showing in this feast of the imagination. Thus, some groups assume the costumes of devils, werewolves, and zombies, conforming exactly to the traditional stories of Haitian voodoo.

Cause :  The "werewolves" who devote themselves to this end are sorcerers, possessed by insatiable spirits, who are believed to turn themselves into animals in order to suck the blood of babies. The tendency to become a werewolf can be inherited, or it can be the result of the rash act of buying evil spirits.
