Episode 9: The Werewolves of Europe – Part 2
This week, we return to the chilling folklore of European werewolves as we explore the dark and disturbing stories of Gilles Garnier and Jean Grenier.

Known as The Werewolf of Dole, Garnier was a hermit whose gruesome crimes shocked France in the 1500s. But perhaps even more unsettling is the story of 13-year-old Jean Grenier, a boy who claimed to feast on human flesh under the guidance of a dark master.

Were these true monsters… or the tragic products of their time?

In this episode, we unpack the blurred lines between myth, mental illness, and horror—exploring how fear and folklore shaped real-life fates.
