This episode tells the chilling true story of the Beast of Gévaudan, a mysterious creature that terrorized rural France between 1764 and 1767, killing more than 100 people—mostly women and children. Witnesses described it as larger than a wolf, fast, cunning, and unnaturally vicious, often attacking broad daylight and mutilating its victims with terrifying precision. Despite royal hunting expeditions and multiple claims of victory, the killings continued for years, deepening public fear and fueling legends of a demon, werewolf, or cursed monster. The terror finally ended when local hunter Jean Chastel reportedly killed the creature with a silver bullet, a detail that cemented the story into folklore. Whether it was a wolf, an exotic predator, a trained killer—or something supernatural—the Beast of Gévaudan remains one of history’s most enduring and terrifying unexplained mysteries.
