There are two kinds of werewolves: some are born, who sometimes change into a wolf and join packs of the animals, and some are cursed - and then they stay in their animal form until someone recognizes them, and lifts the curse. People say, such a wolf will have his knees forward, like human, or that his reflection in the water will be of a human face.
If a pregnant woman sees a wolf, or eats meat of an animal killed by one, her child will be born a werewolf. Also, the child will be a wolf if a man sleeps with a woman the night before Sunday, and they have a male child.
When the right moment comes, a werewolf turns his skin inside out, so he is a man on the inside, and a wolf on the outside. Sometimes, he can spend a whole month as one, and a month as the other one.
If a man forgets God, a witch leats him to a hill top, sticks a knife into the ground, and tells the man to jump over it thrice. Then fur grows all over his body. When, after three years of being a wolf, such person is returned their human form, he can not be cursed that way a second time.
A cursed werewolf will have his human form back if you lead him three times through a horse collar, or hit him three times with a rope made of straw, or take the skin off of him together with the fur, or cut a rope around his neck if he has one.
