During the 16th and 17th centuries, France was gripped by werewolf hysteria, leading to trials, executions, and dark tales of cannibalism and transformation. This episode of A Chicano in Paris dives deep into the origins of werewolf myths, the real-life horrors of the trials, and the tragic cases of Gilles Garnier and Jean Grenier. Plus, we explore the infamous La Bête du Gévaudan—was it a werewolf, a serial killer, or something else entirely?
Fear, folklore, and frenzy—this is history at its most chilling.
