In 1598, in the small town of Chalon, in the French province of Champagne, children suddenly began to go missing.

At first, the locals thought that the children were kidnapped by someone to be sold into slavery or for servants in wealthy estates, but then reports began to arrive about a terrible-looking creature, half beast, half man, which prowls around the city.

Given that these were the times when even literate people believed in witches, dragons and other monsters, rumors soon spread that this creature was actually a werewolf and it was he who was attacking children.

This is how this story of the demon tailor from Chalon begins.

Every week there were more and more missing children, and the strange creature was increasingly seen in the forests. Soon, mass hysteria began in Chalon, people began to lock themselves and their children in their homes at night and even during the day tried not to go outside unnecessarily.

Once someone noticed the corpse of a murdered child in the forest, which was being eaten by the "wolf man", and then several children said that they managed to escape when they were pursued in the forest by a snarling creature. After that, several groups of hunters took their guns and went to search the local forests to find and kill the monster. But they did not find anyone (including the corpses of children).

Then the children continued to disappear and the inhabitants of Chalon began to believe that their city was cursed by unknown dark forces. However, unexpectedly, new information began to appear related to the house of a local tailor, which was located on the very outskirts of the city. One of the neighbors said that he had heard that from the tailor's house were heard the screams of children …

It should be noted that the local tailor has always been considered a weird person. He did not like human society and practically did not leave his workshop. And when the children of customers came to him - to pick up clothes or give money, he showed a genuine interest in them, asked them about various things, gave sweets.

After reports of children's screams from the tailor's house, it was reported that he was seen running towards the forest at night. And then the locals broke down the door of his house and went inside to find out at last what was going on here.

What they found here was their worst nightmare.

A predator's lair was hidden behind the innocent-looking and nondescript facade of the tailor's house. In one room, many barrels filled with children's bones were found, and their number was so great that it was impossible to understand how many children were killed there.

In another room, which looked more like a butcher's room, there were chopped pieces of meat, over which hundreds of flies swarmed. Some of them contained traces of human teeth. In the courtyard of the house, mounds of freshly dug earth were found and the remains of children were also found there.

Soon, the tailor himself was detained and for some reason they did not tear him to pieces right on the spot, but decided to achieve his confession and be tried by the law. The tailor, on the other hand, remained surprisingly calm and said that he had done nothing wrong and that he had been slandered.

He was sent to jail, tortured and finally won a confession. The tailor said that he killed about 50 children by luring them into his shop and then cutting their throats. After that, he arranged some kind of carnival with their bodies, dressing them in different clothes, but in the end he invariably dismembered and ate their meat.

There is also information that he raped children before his death. From the point of view of modern times, he was a typical serial pedophile maniac with severe mental disabilities. But what has a werewolf got to do with it?

The strangest thing was that the tailor, even under severe torture, did not admit that he was a werewolf and that he ran around in the form of a half-beast, half-human. He also denied that he ran after children in the forest and that he ate the corpses of children in the form of a beast.

During a search, a henbane was found in his workshop, which witches loved to use, and for the authorities this served as proof that he was, after all, a werewolf. The tailor himself denied this until his death.

The court eventually sentenced him to be burned at the stake, which was soon executed.

It still remains a mystery what kind of half-man-half-beast the inhabitants of Chalon saw, if it really was not a tailor. After the execution of the tailor, the children stopped disappearing, but here they also stopped seeing the werewolf.

There are no official documents of the court in this case, since they were allegedly soon burned, this case was so terrible and scared everyone. At the moment, this whole story has been preserved only in local legends.
