Werewolves?!?!
There is a condition called Hypertrichosis that makes its sufferers look practically like werewolves. Both men and women are affected by this quirk of nature.
The following is a picture of a person who was a famous sideshow performer. His name was Fedor Jeftichew and he was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1868 and died from pneumonia on January 31st, 1904.
Here's more information on his story for further reading.

Of course there are people alive today that have the condition also. They are performers for the Mexican National Circus. Their names are Danny and Larry Gomez.
