Mr. H

One of the first cases to come upon as lycanthropy was that of Mr. H. For a while, he was convinced that he was a werewolf. He was a drug user, and admitted to his doctor, that while serving in Europe in the United States Army, he hiked into a forest which was near his post. At this time, he ingested LSD (acid) and strychnine, which is stimulant when taken in small portions, but most known as a deadly poison taken in bigger portions.

According to research, these substances are similar to ones that shape shifters have used in the past. Mr. H had claimed that only after a short amount of time, he felt hair grow on his face, and saw it on his hands. After this, he didn't have the strength to resist catching and eating live rabbits. He returned to the post several days after wandering in this state.

Mr. H was then placed on the tranquilizer chlorpromazine, was cured from drugs, and had received therapy for nine months. Although, as this therapy was continuing, he still heard voices and experienced satanic visions. He insisted he had rare powers, and claimed to be possessed by the devil. Many tests were run, and they claimed that his delusions could be "compared to acute schizophrenia or toxic psychosis".

Mr. H was out on an anti-psychotic drug, and when his state seemed to get better, was admitted to an outpatient clinic. After two visits, Mr. H stopped taking his medication and ended the treatment. Attempts to reach him failed in later days.
