Episode 38, The Werewolf of Bedberg: Peter Stumpp Part 1
This case is INSANE in the membrane, get ready for a wild and gruesome ride! Today we are talking about medieval serial killer and convicted werewolf, Peter Stumpp.
Today’s episode has all of my very favorite things: a medieval serial killer, werewolves, medieval torture, clinical psychology, Germany, witch trials, incest, and the list goes on.
Today we will cover the original 1590 writings about this case, then break it down into modern day terms. We will also talk about the brutal Catherine’s Wheel, and the history of lycanthropy.
This is part one of three, we have a shitload to cover, and it’s all absolutely fascinating!
