I'm sure some of (or a lot of) you have heard the story of "The Beast of Gévaudan" (if you've ever watched "Brotherhood of the Wolf"..that's a pretty good start, lol). Well, I, for one, am pretty intrigued by the story, legends, and even books and a movie about it.

The story is too long for me to type out, but the link above provides a VERY good source of "La Bête du Gévaudan".
