Peter Stumpp: The Werewolf of Bedburg

[@carolyngair7051]

These stories are true gems! Intelligent, well written and utterly compelling! So glad to discover you!!

[@magnusplayz0783]

Who's here after Powerwolf's 1589 release?

[@matthewstoneback9]

Old stories like these are far more terrifying than anything you find in today's horror movies.

[@alexandernevills2251]

They need to make a big budget Movie about all of this

[@themonsterbaby]

Glad I found this channel, you are underrated sir.

[@andreavander6197]

A very good voice and choice of stories . You put a lot of background and take your time telling them. Sometimes others rush and don’t give you time to take full of advantage of listening and to enjoy . 👍👍👍

[@Chrisfragger1]

Just found your channel coming off of a Bedtime Story video... Not bad, I like the long, detailed tellings.

[@smallone9825]

Same here bedtime stories are great 👍 was looking for more true stories

[@lynnhathaway3755]

"Presumably, uncooked" You are brilliant.

[@DarkHistories]

haha, it's the little things that make me happy when I research some of this stuff...

[@williamdulaney8076]

Thank you very much! I have been looking for more information on Peter Stubb. This is most thorough.

[@DarkHistories]

You're welcome! It's a great old bit of folklore :)

[@valeriemontanez5005]

I've stumbled upon your channel very recently and have been binging your videos since last night. I ❤ your videos, narration, and thoroughness. You DEFINITELY deserve more subscribers than you currently have. I will be recommending your channel to anyone I come across. Keep up the awesome work!

[@DarkHistories]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy it!

[@carolyngair7051]

Just brilliant! So much research and excellent gravity in the subject. I felt sorry for the guy... I think “rumour” has claimed a lot of victims over the years!

[@DarkHistories]

Thanks a lot! I think that's definitely true for a lot of these stories sadly 😅

[@jperez8194]

Just stumbled across this channel and I love it.....gives me nightmares but I Just. Can’t. Stop. Lol 😂

[@thepeanutgallery6100]

Fox worth Hall - "The Wolf" plays in my head when listening to this story everytime. Love you're video and I tip my hat off to you kind sir.🐺🌕👍👏👏👍🌕🐺

[@michele-patriziorossi3664]

Very entertaining. Very eloquent and pleasant. I take you with me during my daily commute. Thank you!

[@DarkHistories]

pleasure! Thanks for listening!

[@gbizzle8836]

A lot of crazy things happened on this planet and is still happening

[@godsend2815]

In a day and age where people are truly selling their souls (or asking how to) to the devil,this should serve as a modern cautionary tale to be sure.

[@soxpeewee]

You've gotta be a troll. Peter Stumpf was tortured into confessing to this nonsense. Even if he was a killer which was unlikely, this is ridiculous. If you read about the historical context it was likely a political/religious motivation that prompted a literal witch hunt.

[@chrisfitzmaurice7484]

Perhaps. Perhaps....

[@mj.l]

there's no such thing as the devil - it's mythology from the bronze age.

[@godsend2815]

@@mj.l lt is no wonder that "The devil's" greatest trick of all was making small minded people believe he didn't exist at all.

[@malachisguides]

You should do more of these monster videos. They stomp on your other view counts, and, while I like your other videos, this is the one I always come back to.

[@susanbooth3714]

Very well done all around well done 😘you

[@iamthatguyfromslipknot1137]

Absolutely great i love this channel so keep up the great work mate.

[@angrymonkey78]

The way you read it makes the story sound more sinister and brooding

[@seandowdsdowds4472]

Thank you so much for making these amazing videos! I was wondering if you take requests?

[@katmack4215]

I bet he'd be open to the ideas of fans..if he sees ur suggestion 👍 Worth a try anyway 🙂

[@julielabelle2783]

Good video, thank you.

[@JustiniusMXIII]

This is great. 👍🏼

[@DarkHistories]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it! I thought the original report for this was brilliant!

[@jett8193]

As promised, I have been completely bingeing on your channel & hope you enjoy the other Ripley novels! Curious, would Peter Stumpp have been missing a paw when in wolf form? Also, have you seen "The Company of Wolves", an odd, '80s horror fantasy movie set around storybook tales like Little Red Riding Hood? It's a bit dated now but still one of my favorites. Well, better get back to my bingeing! ; )

[@DarkHistories]

One of the "witnesses" actually mentioned the missing paw as apparent proof actually! However, it was only one guy and there's so much guff being spoken by the locals that I put it down to someone trying to pin it on Peter with an easy thing to tag on to him. I love this story though and it's really amazing how much the social aspects and explanations for things like this cross-over with other supernatural tales from a similar period like witches etc. I've not seen that film, but odd, 80's horror is definitely totally up my street, I'll try and seek it out, thanks!

[@darganx]

Underrated film, never gets airplay now! Inspired other films of that era like The Lost Boys and Hellraiser.

[@sgtc9635]

Interesting read. I read the account and listened to this. Peter is killed in a horrible manner and the people are so sure he did it. He confessed, witnesses aristocracy attending, but they are vague about a belt gifted from the devil that transforms a man into a wolf. And it just “isn’t found”. If the story is true I find it hard to believe such people would allow that belt to not be destroyed. It makes you wonder

[@naarahjanemorris3121]

I have the film Company of Wolves Angela Carter had here, Her own werewolf encounters I'm going to find out more about it to see if there's any truth to the film.

[@katmack4215]

Just found ur channel..happy to be ur newest subscriber 😁 can't wait to see what else u have to offer!!

[@douglaspurcell9199]

Commenting before finishing the video, but it seems the most plausible scenario is that this was a large, strong, vicious man who went on an insane killing spree, while eating parts of his victims. Of course, superstitious people would assume that it's some sort of animal creature.

[@soxpeewee]

Possible. Or everything was due to a torture confession.

[@nawfside1302]

Woah you are highly underrated. Subacribed

[@malachisguides]

This should be 16M views not 16K

[@ShaOrna]

With what you said was going on at the time he was the target of someone's smear campaign and then used as religious propaganda; possibly by the same person or group.

[@seantaylor424]

Another possible wrinkle in the tale: What if the book this entire case is chronicled in wasn't faithfully translated?

[@azizataurus]

Could you please add english subtitles to your videos..would help us ( non english speakers) alot🙏

[@soxpeewee]

Kinda messed up that his daughter and mistress were put to death even if he did kill anyone.

[@katmack4215]

This detail you've mentioned,made me realize I'm familiar with this story 😏

[@jungatheart8712]

There was a shadow puppet version of the Peter Stumpp story on youtube a long time ago. Does anyone know where I could find it?

[@andevil777]

Sold my soul and all i got was a lousy belt!

[@victoriadiesattheend.8478]

You seem to have a particular interest in my particular interests. 😊

[@jenniferbrewer5370]

I was wondering, are you familiar with the Kenny Veach case? I have a feeling you would do it justice without all the "supernatural" crap people like to throw onto such an incident.

[@DarkHistories]

I'm not, but someone else bought this up to me recently, the name rings bells. I'll definitely have to have a look into it. Thanks! It sounds good from your description already :)

[@twister563]

true or not its amazing how people back then were superstitcicous back then i think is the word im looking for ..lol or maybe uncivil;zed to a certain degree almost bad as the killer it self
