The Beast of Gevaudan is one of the classics of real werewolf stories. From murdering dozens of peasants in the countryside of France, to its paranormal powers of disappearing into the mist and defying death, it's no wonder many thought it was sent from the heavens above to punish them.

Find out in today's episode!!! They say you can't keep a good horse down, but that's certainly true for Cryptid Campfire! We're back everyone and we're sharing the good news with everyone! Thanks to all the fans who never left in the time we were on our indefinite hiatus, but we're proud to be back making a quality episode once a month!
