It's #WerewolfWednesday, and I have a story I really wanna share:

In 1691 an 80-something Livonian man named Old Thiess was called to court as a witness in a theft case. As he was sworn in, another witness laughed: "How can he swear a holy oath when everyone knows he is a werewolf?"

The judges immediately forgot about the thief and put Old Thiess on trial. He calmly admitted that yes, indeed he was a werewolf.

@mward oh, I love this! I’ve been hearing more and more about werewolves of antiquity being regarded as forces for good, if somewhat misunderstood

@aquinton I am now conditioned to think of you anytime I see werewolf stuff, but this was particularly good.
