Fears of Baby Eating Werewolves Plague Hatians

And you thought an earthquake was bad news.

"The "loup-garou," which means wolf man, is similar to werewolf legends in other parts of the world, but in Haitian folklore it is a person who is possessed by a spirit and can turn into a beast or even a dog, cat, chicken, snake or another animal to suck the blood of babies and young children.

Haitians fear loups-garous in the best of times and even more since a powerful earthquake wrecked the capital of Port-au-Prince two weeks ago, killing as many as 200,000 people and forcing hundreds of thousands more to sleep outside in vast camps or on the streets."

It makes those misguided Baptists seem down right angelic.
