This is a very weird werewolf case from the Middle Ages, France. During the 16th century, near Angers by the Loire Valley, a pack of wolves caught the attention of men. The wolves fled as the men approached, and to their horror, found the body of a deceased teenaged boy. The men ran after the wolves, and managed to follow one of them off into the woods, keeping track. They pursued the slower wolf deep into the bushes until they came upon it, but to their astonishment, it was not a wolf anymore but a man.
The man was half dressed and covered in blood. He was dragged off into the village, and then later he was arrested. This man was named Jcques Roulet and he admitted killing the teenager. The authorities discovered human flesh under his fingernails, which confirmed what he'd said. He was questioned under torture but it took some time before he told them anything, and it was strange and horrific details. He said that he transformed into a wolf, describing that he used a salve to transform. The salve was given to him by his parents. He also wasn't alone!
His brother Jean and his cousin Julien also turned into wolves so they could all go out hunting at night. They were entertained by chasing down people and killing them. He also said he'd eaten human flesh while in the form of a wolf. He was sentenced to death for cannibalism, murder and for being a werewolf. Later he appealed to the Parliament of Paris, and they revoked his sentence on grounds he was simply mad and sent him away to an asylum. After serving two years in there, he left and simply vanished! Some would say he ran off with the pack.
