Lycanthropous water is different to other water. It gives off a strange and unknown smell. The ripples of the lycanthropous stream shines very bright with a supernatural quality to it. The sound the lycanthropous water makes is wrong to anyone who's heard it before. It's described as sounding eerie like whispering voices even during the daytime. Sometimes a lycanthropous stream is noisy and more chilling, which sounds like screaming and howling. Animals including dogs and horses are terrified of it.
It's believed that a person sipping from the lycanthropous water will turn them into a werewolf. There is a folk story of a peasant in Scandinavia who did just this:
"Tis night! Tis night! and the moon shines white over pine and snow capped hill. The shadows stray through burn and brae and dance in the sparkling rill.
Tis night! Tis night! and the devil's light casts glittering beams around. The maras dance, the nisses prance on the flower enameled ground.
Tis night! Tis night! and the werewolf's might makes man and nature shiver.
Yet it's fierce grey head and stealthy tread are nought to thee oh river!
River, river, river
Oh water strong, that swirls along I prithee a werewolf make me.
Of all things dear, my soul, I swear, in death shall not forsake me."
Saying the above is followed by the peasant's head touching the shore of the stream three times, and then lowers under the water three times, while swallowing it. This is supposed to work and make that peasant a werewolf. It's not known how long it will take to work, or how many have tried the ritual. The above quote is from a book called "Werwolves" by Elliott O' Donnell.
