Mythical Creatures
by @anton
The church of Saint-Étienne was once surrounded by a cemetery that was said to be a haunt of werewolves. In 1825, the neighbourhood was terrorised by one of these creatures, until it was finally killed by a soldier with a bayonet on Christmas Eve.
The werewolf was said to have been a sixteen-year-old boy from a respectable family.
