In 1764, something began killing people in Gévaudan, France. Not wolves, but a creature that walked on two legs, stood nearly twelve feet tall, and had a face described as "almost human" by the only child who survived looking directly into it. More than one hundred people died, and even the king's finest hunters couldn't stop the attacks. What was this impossible beast, and how did a twelve-year-old boy's fairy tale save seven children from its grasp?
In this episode, we delve into the terrifying true story of the Beast of Gévaudan, exploring the unexplained deaths and the chilling details that defy rational explanation. Discover the harrowing account of Jacqu Pouil and his seven companions as they faced an unknown terror, and the strange twist of fate that allowed them to return home alive.
