In December 1589, Peter was finally captured, tortured, and forced to confess to horrific crimes that blended the supernatural with the utterly grotesque. In this episode, we explore lycanthropy, Peter's chilling confessions, his barbaric trial, and the eerie folklore that has haunted this small German village for centuries.  Aaaaaaooooo!!! 🐺 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
