Werewolf Case.

[The Illusionist]

I ran into this case in the mythology section of werewolves (Greek Mythology).

I thought this would be interesting.

WEREWOLF CASE.

The case of Pierre Burgot and Michel Verdun
The trial of Pierre Burgot and Michel Verdum, two French peasants in 1521 got wide spread notoriety. Nineteen years ago when Burgot was desperately trying to gather his storm frightened sheeps, he came across three mysterious black dressed horsemen. One of them assured him the future protection of his sheep and gave him some money. In return the stranger asked Burgot to obey him as the Lord. Burgot accepted the offer and agreed to meet them again. In the second meeting the so-called Lord announced the full conditions of the deal; Burgot must denounce the God, the Holy Virgin, the Company of Heaven and baptism.

As year passed Burgot became reluctant to maintain the pact. Then he was called by Michel Verdum. Verdum ordered him to strip naked and rub a magic ointment on his body. When Burgot had followed as instructed he found his arms and legs had become hairy and his hands reshaped into paws. Verdum transformed himself into werewolf too and together they ran through the surrounding countryside. They committed various awful crimes. They tore to pieces a seven-year-old boy, killed a woman and abducted a four-year-old girl. The unfortunate girl was fully eaten up by two of them. When they were caught they were duly put to death. Their picture was hung in the local church as a reminder of all the evil deeds that men could commit under the influence of Satan.

Because he represents evil to them. I know, maybe they should all just gawk around waiting to follow whatever concept is being characterized as 'trendy' or 'free-thinking' by society!


Can I ask something that I feel is related to the topic: are there any mods who really believe in werewolves on this here site called 'werewolf.com'?

[The Illusionist]

Finally someone who thinks like me.

[Golden Howl]

Yeah I've read that werewolf case before. I know some more interesting things similar to that stuff.
Oh, yeah I know it's weird that I'm always posting on your threads, but I do that because I think they're interesting...So you've got yourself a fan! lol

[The Illusionist]

Yeah and everyone else thinks I need some serious help. lol.

[Shalinda]

Nah, you dont need help, you are just not doing it right, ur more developing your own religion than following one that exists, which ever makes you feel well, im not one to judge ^^ so go ahead and do as you like ;)

[LV426]

There are those who hold out for the possibilty of werewolves' existence but have yet to obtain factual evidence to support such. 13 yr old kids claiming they will eat my babies because they are werewolves and I HAVE to believe them just don't cut it as fact.

How in the hell is that a good reference to werewolves? I take offense to that ... literally.

I wonder why in ye olde days they associated wolves with the devil and satan. Back then it seemed to be a convenient excuse for a serial killer or somebody who killed in a gruesome barbaric, perhaps callibalistic way.

It's the same reason why we believe in things like sadistic behavior as children and traumatised pasts. Every era has it's explanations for the things that, to the average person, are completely unjustifiable. Today, we believe the psychiatrists and psychologists, back then, they believed the priests.

It reminds me of a few lines in the otherwise completely worthless sequel to Jurassic Park. In it, one of the main characters takes the position of a human far in the future, looking back at our time, and scoffing at our 'facts' regarding atoms, molecules, quarks, and what not. "They'll laugh at our beliefs,' he says, something along those lines, "because they'll have theirs."

I have no doubt that our theories as to why these horrible things happen are more accurate than simply the hand of the Devil ideas of the past, but it is important to realize that human desire to explain and categorize things can sometimes lead us astray.

Wolves were associated with the devil and evil because they were feared and misunderstood. Thats the thing people use to do way back when and still do today, their taught to hate anything that they don't know or fear and anything mysteries. Wolves were always the fall guy because they are wild and look vicious, and are elusive but whats funny is that there isn't that many recorded wolf attacks to validate the whole vicious evil thing and I believe the ones that are recorded are to blame on dumb humans, no animal attacks without reason wolf or not only people do.

Why on earth would you take offense to that?
There was nothing about the comment, or link, that was personally directed to you.

I still believe in priests, and I believe in counselors and everyday people; psychology is just a lot of crock.

Which sequel? I liked the second one, but the third was just totally disconnected from the other movies.

I'm surprised I cannot remember that line.

Wolves were associated with the devil and evil because they were feared and misunderstood.

Not that they, y'know, kill sheep and livestock or anything... It's mostly because they are the devil incarnate.

Total animal discrimination. I mean it's not like they thought the same thing about cats, tigers, foxes, lizards, birds... Oh wait! They DID!

At one point in time or another, all of those species were predators, and predators naturally have an air about them that leads to them being unfairly judged as evil. They pose a threat, and so people tend to think of them as just that. Humans then have a tendency to attach these extra ideas about the nature of creatures that could be harmful to the actual thought of the animal.
