Ep 14. Werewolf Skin, Pt. 1
- November 22, 1997
Two siblings, Alex and his sister Hannah, go to their aunt and uncle's house near a forest. They discover that their relatives are not the average family: they all have a strange obsession with werewolves. They have werewolf dolls in every room, and their uncle talks about werewolves nonstop.
After hearing strange howling noises, Alex and Hannah go on a hike in the woods. While exploring, they stumble upon an abandoned house. It's there that they find a chest filled with antique clothing and an old diary. The journal belonged to a girl named Elsa who used to live in the house over 30 years ago.
Elsa described in the diary how she met a boy named "Will" in the woods one day. She fell in love with him, but she soon discovered that he was a werewolf. Elsa detailed in her journal how Will turned her into a werewolf as well. She became a monster every full moon and could only be cured if she wore a special wolf skin.
The journal also warns against wearing the wolf skin for too long. Elsa suspects the curse passed down from generation to generation in her family. The diary appears to reveal a lot about their aunt and uncle. Alex and Hannah are convinced that they have seen werewolves in the woods and that their relatives may be involved.
The episode ends with Alex and Hannah deciding to investigate further and uncover the truth about their family's obsession with werewolves. They formulate a plan and think that following their uncle into the woods one night might be their best chance at finding out more information.
