The Werewolf of Bedburg

About this episode

In the late 16th century, the town of Bedburg, Germany was terrorized by a creature that slaughtered its cattle and stole its women and children, killing them with unspeakable cruelty. The horrified townspeople feared that they were being besieged by a demon, or, equally as bad, a vicious werewolf who lived among them.
