The Beast Of Gevaudan
« Thread Started on Nov 4, 2009, 5:00pm »

The History Channel unexpectedly ran a high quality investigation program during the Halloween season on the infamous French " Beast Of Gevaudan " case. An area of rural France was terrorized by the critter, which the locals ( with the encouragement of the local Catholic authorities seeking to rewin the region from Prots and other heretics ) believed was a werewolf. Between 1764 and 1767, over 100 women and children were slaughtered. Like Jewish Ritual Murder data, there were real homicides with real bodies.
The History Channel was fortunate to pair a hard-boiled Homicide detective with a cryptozoologist. In the beginning, the cop thought the crypto was a nut while the crypto thought the cop was too hidebound. In the end, I think they came very close to solving the crime.
The Catholic Church, to terror convert the area and embarrass the Enlightment policies of the French monarchy, hired the local misfit hunter to train a large hyena ( even Montague Summers got the animal type correct in his " The Werewolf In Lore and Legend " pg. 235. ) borrowed from the Bishop's aristocratic relatives zoological gardens, to attack the rubes. The bodies displayed bone-crushing that only the hyena's powerful jaws could produce. And the eye-witness accounts point to both a hyena ( which the locals never saw before ) and a man dressed as a wolf ( the trainer-handler ). Since the beastly attacks included sexual assault, and were concentrated ONLY in one Church jurisdiction ( how could a Beast know the boundaries, let alone rape women and young girls ? ), the hypothesis of a man and his pet Beastie performing the attacks is highly likely.
In the end, the " hero " who killed the Beastie with a single silver bullet is unmasked, through modern ballistics, as the culprit.
In just goes to show that historical heroes are generally villians whose " good-guy " badge conceals real horrors !!
