About vampires, there are many film and television works, for example, a few years ago there was a special fire called "Twilight", handsome men and beautiful women gathered, I especially hope to be bitten by the heroine to become a vampire, the box office is also particularly good.

In addition to the vampire, there is also a very important character - the werewolf. In the movie, the two formations of werewolves and vampires fight particularly fiercely. In Western legend, these two things are also opposed to each other.

Speaking of this werewolf, I believe everyone may have heard of this creature in European folklore. This creature will usually become like a human, lurking in the crowd, and on this full moon night they will turn into wolves and begin to attack humans, the means are very terrible, go up and bite to death.

This thing is fake when we hear it now, and it belongs to a kind of thing that was fantasized at that specific time when people's understanding of the world was still ignorant.

Historically, however, Europeans were convinced of the existence of werewolves, and there have been many absurd stories. For example, it happened in 1578 in Bedburg, which is the city of Bedberg in today's Germany, and now it is a good place, a tourist attraction, and the scenery is beautiful.

Today's small town of Bedburg

But at that time, Bedburg was only a small town and very poor. Locals live by raising livestock, which is vital to local families, and the economic lifeblood of each household, that is, there will be no safe, or every night they will have to lock the livestock in the safe.

Just in the early spring of this year, some strange things happened in the local area, many family animals looked good before going to bed the first night, and the next morning they got up to see it, and died on the ground!

The death was also very tragic, and the animal's stomach was bitten by something to open a large hole, and the internal organs were hollowed out. Judging from the death of the animal, it is very likely that the wolves invaded the town, if this is the case, the consequences are too serious, biting the animal is a trivial matter, in case of injury, it will be trouble.

So the bolder inhabitants of the town formed a team and went to the nearby mountain forest to hunt and kill wolves. For several days, I searched around the places where wolves might be hiding, and there was no trace of wolves. The residents had no choice but to retreat to the town and strengthen the town's night patrols to prevent the wolves from returning to the town.

This was still not prevented, and more and more livestock were bitten to death. The townspeople panicked, and such a cunning wolf had to catch him at once, or the next bite would begin to be a resident. Sure enough, within a few months, something terrible happened, and people began to disappear in the town, first as children of the family, and then even the adult woman was not spared.

Many people are missing at home, and some have even left some stumps and severed arms. This is obviously the work of the beast, the town residents have no clue, once again organized a search team, the surrounding mountains looked for a look, still did not find anything, and even a few search team members are missing.

The search team simply changed their targets and found the team members first, and they found the body of a missing team member under a boulder. After examining the body, the gang was surprised to find that the man had only a hole in his chest and a heart that had been dug out and eaten, but the rest of the body was there.

Immediately after that, the body of a woman appeared around the town, this woman was bitten to death, but there were obvious signs of sexual assault before she died, and her clothes were not neat, and her pants were gone, and things began to change! If the wolves had done the previous things, these two things were obviously not done by wolves. For a moment, the townspeople were in a panic, but fortunately, after finding the woman who had been violated, the similar thing did not happen again.

Until this year in 1584, when a few children were playing by the river next to the town, suddenly a huge gray wolf came out of the bushes next to it, frightening the children and shouting for help while running away.

The residents who heard the cry for help also came out to rescue, and found a girl in the depths of the forest, this girl was already dying, and when she saw the rescue team, she used her last breath to say: That wolf, can talk. When I finished, I gasped.

Hearing this news, everyone was shocked, and they all remembered the attack of livestock and people by this wolf pack a few years ago, and everyone took a breath of cool air, which is no wonder that this wolf can kill first, and it is not an ordinary wolf who is a werewolf.

In Europe at that time, the concept of werewolves was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and once this happened, the news spread quickly. The townspeople are panicked, looking like werewolves, and many people have begun to move and move to other places to make a living with the mentality that they can't afford to annoy you and can't hide from you. Others simply invited the members of the church and asked them to help find the werewolf.

Fast forward to this 1589, one night a little girl was alone at home, suddenly heard the sound of scratching the door outside the door, the werewolf thing in recent years has been boiling, she was particularly scared, immediately shouted for help. The surrounding residents heard his cry for help, rushed out to check the situation, and if nothing else, found a gray wolf that was running away, and the people chased all the way to the front of a cave, and the footprints of the wolf disappeared here.

The big guys were bold enough to go into the cave to check it out, when suddenly a man came out of the cave, and this man was a rich man from the town named Peter Stamp. Because he appeared here, which happened to be the place where the wolf had disappeared, the hapless Peter Stamp was also captured as a werewolf and returned to the town, ready to be tried by the inquisition.

After months of very "friendly" interrogation, Peter Stamp told the truth, he was not an ordinary person, he began to learn the dark arts from the age of 12, and at the age of 20 he made a deal with Satan, who could fulfill all his wishes, but Peter needed to dedicate his soul to become a werewolf.

And he became a werewolf, and he didn't have to give him a belt on the night of the full moon, as long as he tied this belt and directly became a werewolf, took off the belt and changed back. At first, Peter only dared to attack the livestock of the town, but slowly he became bolder and turned this target into a human. According to Peter, from 1578 onwards, he ate a total of 16 townspeople, including his children.

When the townspeople heard this, they were furious and demanded that Peter be executed. On October 31, 1589, Peter was publicly executed on Bedberg Square, and more than 4,000 onlookers came to the execution site. The execution was very inhumane, to put it simply, the execution lasted for several hours, and the square echoed with Peter's screams and the cheers of the crowd.

The werewolf incident was recorded in detail and written into a small book, which remains in the British Museum today. Looking back at the werewolf case today, it must feel particularly absurd, there is no evidence in the whole case that Peter is a werewolf, and he alone did all this. The whole thing was his own confession.

Those who are familiar with the witch trial know that the Pope at that time issued a holy decree saying that all the witches would not actively admit that they were witches and would have to torture them to extract confessions, and all the women who were caught could not survive the torture to extract confessions. The same was true of the werewolf trial, and after Peter was captured, he also endured unimaginable torture during the interrogation, forcing him to admit that he was a werewolf, and that he had done everything.

Looking back at the time of the Cologne War, the whole of Germany was in chaos, and many people lost their homes and ran to places that were not affected by the war. And the story takes place in Bedburg, which happens to concentrate a large number of homeless street skaters, and there are everyone in this gang, and it is too normal for these people to do some murderous things in Bedburg.

But the Church cannot say that they did it, because to say that they did it would be tantamount to attributing the cause of these things to the war, which was a religious war, and several denominations fought against each other, and the fighting became more and more miserable.

This has to admit that these things have to do with the war, then everyone has to rise up against the church, and that has a very bad impact on the rule of the church, so the church has to find a man with a pot, give him a werewolf charge, and push all the contradictions on him to transfer the contradictions, unfortunately Peter Stamp is unlucky.

To put it bluntly, the werewolf thing is a monster that the church created out of thin air to maintain its rule, and Peter Stamp is that victim. Sure enough, after peter, the werewolf, was executed, the disappearances in the town did not stop.

In the decade that followed, there were more than 20 more disappearances, and the remains of some were found, apparently by werewolves. After that, with the end of the war, these disappearances stopped, which further showed that Peter Staple had nothing to do with these disappearances, and that he died unjustly.

At the end, peter Stamp has another layer of relationship, he has a good friend named Caterina Trump, and one of Caterina's descendants named Hans Trump ran to the United States, and later there is a descendant, Donald Trump, the American bunker boy.
