The Lycanthropic Tale of Lycaon & Other Ghosts & Werewolves

It's officially Spooky Season! Ancient werewolves, ghosts, and haunted houses...

CW/TW: this episode contains less mythological references to sexual assault and may be more triggering than typical episodes, there is a warning in the episode prior to that story and can easily be avoided.
