Summary

In 1764, in the rugged highlands of south-central France, something began hunting people. It wasn't a wolf, and it wasn't a myth. It was a massive, ruddy-furred predator with a taste for human prey and a terrifying intelligence that allowed it to evade the King's greatest hunters for years.

Tonight, we’re going deep into the forest of Gévaudan. We explore the grisly timeline of over 100 victims, the failed royal hunts that embarrassed King Louis XV, and the dark local legend of Jean Chastel—the man who supposedly ended the nightmare with a silver bullet.

Was it a prehistoric survivor, an escaped exotic animal, or something bred and trained by a human monster? Lock your doors and dim the lights. We’re hunting the Beast.
