Lycanthropy

By asif_khan

Lycanthropy is the ability or power of a human being to undergo transformation into a wolf, or to gain wolf-like characteristics. The word lycanthropy is sometimes used generically for any transformation of a human into animal form, though the precise term for that is technically "therianthropy". Sometimes, "zoanthropy" is used instead of "therianthropy".the word has also been linked to Lycaon, a king of Arcadia who, according to Ovid's Metamorphoses, was turned into a ravenous wolf in retribution for attempting to serve human flesh (his own son) to visiting Zeus in an attempt to disprove the god's divinity.

Does lycanthropy really exists or its just in our imagination?

Asif, Have you been dreaming? There is nothing like that. It is either imagination or hallucination.

there is a clinical lycantrophy - a psychosis in which the patient has delusions of being a wild animal (usually a wolf)
