Step into the eerie and chilling world of Manuel Blanco Romasanta, the infamous "Wolf of Allariz." This 19th-century figure isn’t just one of Spain’s most notorious murderers—he’s a man who claimed he was cursed with the soul of a werewolf. Romasanta openly confessed to multiple brutal killings, but his defense shocked everyone: he insisted he wasn’t simply a man but a creature of the night, doomed to transform and driven to kill by an insatiable, otherworldly hunger.
His trial became one of the most sensational of its time, captivating Spain with tales of lycanthropy, curses, and an eerie duality that left many wondering: could his story of the werewolf curse be true, or was it merely a ploy to mask monstrous crimes? Through witness accounts, historical documents, and a close look at folklore surrounding this haunting case, we unravel a tale where fact and legend blur, and the darkness within one man casts a shadow that still lingers over Spain.
Join us as we peel back the layers of one of history’s most baffling criminal cases, where myth merges with reality, leaving behind only haunting questions and spine-chilling possibilities.
