The Beast of Gévaudan: A Mysterious Monster That Terrorised 18th Century France

t3_1iajbux

Between 1764-1767, a strange creature in Gevaudan, southern France. Over 3 years this beast killed over 100 people, targeting mainly women and children. The beast left mutilated corpses, often targeting victims necks.

The identity of the creature was never confirmed. The prevalent theory is that the beast was a wolf or pack of wolves, potentially infected with rabies, making them more aggressive and less fearful of humans. Another theory is that either a lion or hyena escaped from a menagerie. Or perhaps a cryptid, that habituated the forests of France?

Any thoughts on the Beast of Gevaudan, and what creature it was?

Made a YouTube video on it, feel free to watch if you like. Thanks!
