Blood Moon Murders:: The Werewolf of Bedburg

Peter Stumpp, a wealthy farmer in 16th-century Germany, was accused of being a werewolf, practicing black magic, and committing horrifying murders, including cannibalism. Under torture, he confessed to killing and eating 14 children, including his own son, and claimed to transform into a wolf with the help of a magical belt from the Devil. His gruesome execution in 1589, where his flesh was torn and his body burned, served as a chilling coda.
