[QUOTE="Galloglaich, post: 4982452, member: 77019"] Peter Stubbe could very likely have been completely innocent ... or he may have been a serial killer. There were many other similar cases, such as Gilles De Rais in Medieval times, and Albert Fish in the US much more recently. Another case in Spain reminds me a great deal of Peter Stubbes confession: [URL="http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publish/article_13582.shtml"]The Wolfman of Allariz - Typically Spanish Features on Spain[/URL] the Romasanta case was made into a creepy movie in 2004 [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374180/"]Romasanta (2004)[/URL] And guys like Albert Fish of course in more recent times. There was also another similar 19th Century case in Romania but I can't find it right now. [IMG]http://f3.img.v4.skyrock.net/f3b/alittlehobbit/pics/548452625.jpg[/IMG] Of course, on the other end of the spectrum there are also many well-documented cases of serial wolf attacks which did seem to be animals. The most famous is [B]La Bete De Gevudain[/B] in the 18th Century which was the subject of at least three movies.
