Episode 179: Project Beast: La Bête du Gévaudan and the Making of France’s First Monster

The Church calls it God’s punishment, the King swears it’s “just wolves,” and the people actually burying half-eaten children keep saying, "No. This is something else." In this episode, we dive into three years of throat-ripped corpses and a monster whose body conveniently rotted before anyone important could examine it. Was La Bête du Gévaudan a freak predator, an escaped exotic, or an early black-ops fear experiment?  Keep your back away from open doorways, eyes on the treeline, and come with us into the hills where the Beast may have died… but the project behind it never really did.
