Dreams, beating of the drum, songs, magic feasts and dances, and howling were his ordinary methods of cure. Grinnell, Story of the indian, p. 210 fol. : They have "firm confidence in dreams. " "Their belief in a future life is in part founded on dreams, " etc. 2/3] THE ORIGIN OF THE WEREWOLF SUPERSTITION 21 ' (8) Finally dreams 68 and exagg...erated reports gave rise to fabulous stories. 69 We have discussed (i), (2), and (3) ; 70 for an example un- der (4) we have cited the practices of American Indians. 71 It is probable that about now (at the stage indicated in (4) above), what is known as the real werewolf superstition (that of a fren- zied, rabid manwolf) began to fully develop.
