The thing I think that mostly started werewolves were the people that had that weird disease that caused hair to grow all over them.
Taken from a random site about diseases:
The disease is called werewolf syndrome because people with it look like werewolves - except without the sharp teeth and claws.
Some people possibly saw the similarities between their condition and wolves and bam they're freaky wolf people that feed on human flesh. Kinda amazing some of the weird diseases out there. And it's not that hard to imagine there are creatures out there that haven't been discovered, just look at how many diffrent species were discovered with just the galapagos islands. Before then they'd think you were crazy if you talked about seeing a giant turtle that could bite a man's head off.
