Gilles Garnier

Gilles Garnier could be known as "The Werewolf of Dole"; Dole, as in, the small village in France; not the juice. Garnier lived outside of Dole for many years, eventually finding himself a wife. Garnier had not been used to providing for anyone besides himself. After a while, children began disappearing, with them being mutilated and dissected as well. Garnier's testimony had stated that, while hunting through the forest to find food for small family of two, a man appeared and gave him a magic ointment. This ointment would change him into a wolf, making finding foot to hunt, much easier. Between the timeline of around 1 year, Gilles had murdered more than four children at the young ages of 9 to 12.

First victim was a young ten year old girl. Garnier dragged her into the vineyard outside of Dole. He removed her clothing, after strangling her, eating her flesh off her arms and thighs. Once he was satisfied, he took more flesh off the young girl so he could feed his wife to also have a meal.

Another young girl was attacked by Garnier. When he had begun biting her, he was rudely interrupted by people coming near, so he fled. She came out of the closet a few days later, confessing what had happened to her as her injuries showed well.

Two boys were next attacked by Gilles, one a ten year old who had been eaten from his thighs, and stomach. A leg was torn off with Garnier's vicious teeth to save for later as well. Just a few days later, Gilles strangled a young boy, although he was interrupted once again by oncoming people not being able to dissect this boy at all.

A group of the villager's had gone out to find and hunt down the werewolf. Finding him crouched over a boy one day, the villagers captured him. During trial, Garnier confessed everything, including the magic ointment the devil gave him. Although, the devil might have been to blame, Garnier was still thought of as guilty for the crimes of witchcraft and lycanthropy.

In 1573, Gilles Garnier died, after being burned on a stake.
