Ep 132 - The Beast of Gévaudan

The Beast of Gévaudan is a true story about a vicious monster that terrorized the French countryside in the 18th century. It was a creature that was so difficult to describe that most of the eyewitnesses could not agree about what had attacked them. A wolf? A man? Or was it something else entirely? Despite many theories over the last 250 years, no satisfactory explanation has ever been found. We attempt to separate the fact from the fiction and ponder if this fanciful-sounding beast was humanity's most terrible nightmare come true.

For more details about our new ghost tours: Ghosts of Queen's University (Kingston), Tales from the Mausoleum at Beechwood Cemetery (Ottawa), and Toronto's Haunted Harbour.
