The Beast France Couldn’t Kill

A true historical mystery, a real predator, and one of the most documented terror events in early modern Europe. In 1764, the quiet region of Gévaudan was devastated by a series of attacks so consistent, so deliberate, and so brutal that priests, soldiers, and even the King of France were forced to treat it as something far worse than folklore. Survivors described the Beast in detail. Officials wrote reports. Autopsies were taken. Rewards were offered.This wasn’t myth. It was a documented threat that France could not kill.
In this Cursed Journeys case file, we follow Jeanne Boulet’s death, the early attacks, the failed military hunts, Marie-Jeanne Valet’s legendary defence, the killing of Antoine’s enormous wolf, and the strange continuation of deaths that followed. Evidence from parish records, royal correspondence, and eyewitness testimony reveals a creature acting with cunning, adaptation, and alarming precision — a natural predator with behaviour no one in 18th-century France could explain.
If you enjoy true mysteries, dark history, strange-but-true investigations, and evidence-led storytelling, this case belongs in your archive.
