One of my favourite mysteries. It is known for sure la bete existed but what was she. La Bête du Gévaudan was a real wolf-like monster prowling the Auvergne and South Dordogne areas of France during the years 1764 to 1767, killing about 100 people, often in bizarre circumstances. Every effort to stop her failed and she became nationally infamous. The King - Louis XV - took a personal interest, one reason being the unrest she caused in an area of religious/political tension and potential revolution. Many explanations - mutant, prehistoric beast etc. - were put forward at the time and during the two centuries since but none has ever been generally accepted. The important firm fact is that sufficient evidence remains to prove La Bête really did exist and was not just a myth. Among all the popular monster mysteries she is unique - she left behind one hundred bodies proving herself real and guilty beyond doubt. Link........ http://labete.7hunters.net/bete1.htm |

Personally, I think this was just a wolf or wolves and over the years the story has been blown out of proportion even the amount of deaths. I can't get my head around the concept of werewolfs (shape shifting humans into wolf form) however I know there are medical cases of people that actually believe they change into a wolf and then have gone out and killed... I think many of thses were in Europe also? Great story though the beast of Gevaudan I have always looked at it as a European Folklore rather than a cryptid. |

I don't believe in werewolves but feel there may have been human involvement with these attacks. I'm still going for a wolf/ dog hybrid. |
