Werewolf Of Bedburg

In 1589, a quiet German farming community was gripped by terror. Villagers swore they were being hunted by the mythical werewolf. Soon local farmer Peter Stumpp was arrested and accused of this heinous werewolfery. He confessed, under torture, and what followed became one of the most infamous and disturbing executions in history. Was Stumpp an actual supernatural beast, or a human killer shaped by one of history’s darkest eras?

A true crime tale wrapped in folklore, this is a case where horror, belief, and reality collide.
