Beast of G�vaudan
Beast of G�vaudan : was described as being a huge wolf-like
beast, which killed its victims 'by savagely tearing out their throats
before devouring their bodies or simply ripping them apart'. The
beast came to public attention between June 1764 and June 1767 when a
large number of murders (mainly women and children) occurred in G�vaudan,
a place situated in the district of Loz�re in south-eastern France.
In February 1765 King Louis XV sent a famous hunter called Denneval into
G�vaudan with six highly trained bloodhounds to try to track down the
creature. Unfortunately they did not succeed. However after
two large wolves were killed in the area the murders finally ceased.
However there are some who believe that the beast was more than just a
bloodthirsty rabid wolf. In the book La B�te du G�vaudan a man
called Gerald Menatory suggested that the killings may have been the work
of one or a number of serial killers using the reports of man-killing
wolves to cover their tracks. There has even been the suggestion
that the beast was actually a werewolf.
