In this episode, we explore the extraordinary true story of a man who lived for 13 years believing he was a cat-a rare psychiatric condition known as clinical lycanthropy. We delve into how this delusion rewired his brain, affecting his perception of reality and identity. The discussion also touches on neuroplasticity, dissociation, and how these factors can alter one's sense of self. Additionally, we examine historical accounts of shape-shifting, including European werewolf trials, Japan's Kitsune fox spirits, and Native American skinwalkers.
