  • About two hundred years before the famous witch trials happened in Salem; men and women were being convicted of transforming into werewolves. It was said that they were mutilating and eating children, and the punishments were as horrifying as the alleged crimes.

    These trials took place in parts of Europe between the 15th and 17th centuries, and they were driven by superstition, religious and political conflict, and the desire to find scapegoats during hard times. Many of the accused were homeless, recent immigrants, individuals of disability, or those who were loners. Many of these confessed to being werewolves after they endured severe torture.

    Centuries later; it is still challenging to untangle the folklore from real evidence, or what people believed to be real evidence at the time. Most of those accused are today believed to be innocent victims, while others may have been serial killers before people even knew what a serial killer actually was.

    So get comfortable my spooky friends. You are about to hear the dark tales of the European Werewolf Trials. But before we do…here is a little heads up: today we will be talking about graphic deaths of both adults and children. Listener discretion is advised
