A vicious creature with a taste for human flesh roamed the countryside of France for three years, between 1764 and 1767. Known as the Beast of Gévaudan, or La Bête du Gévaudan, this animal was described as appearing to be like everything from a wolf or dog to a hyena or lion. What began as attacks on chattel herders in a quiet corner of the nation quickly became a national sensation. Supposedly, the beast was possessed of supernatural powers and could decapitate its victims, then drink their blood. Hundreds of documented attacks occurred during this period, and neither soldiers nor the best hunters in the land could stop them. Theories abound of what or who could have been the culprit. Was it a werewolf? A serial killer? An exotic animal? Or something more familiar? We can only speculate, as its identity was never confirmed.
