Episode notes
The Beast of Gévaudan – France, 1764-1767. A monstrous creature terrorized the rural region of Gévaudan, brutally killing dozens of people in a string of vicious attacks. Described as larger than a wolf with reddish fur and an eerie intelligence, the Beast evaded countless hunts and even drew the attention of King Louis XV. Was it a massive wolf, an exotic predator, or something more sinister? The true nature of the Beast remains one of history’s most chilling unsolved mysteries.
