Charles Perrault, and after him, the brothers Grimm, gave the world an instructive fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood", but they themselves have come only the echoes of a very different story.
Legends of carefree girl went to visit my grandmother, were distributed all over Europe since the Middle Ages.Moreover, in the original fairy tales that he heard Perrot, events unfolded differently.Deciding to impersonate her grandmother, the wolf killed the old woman, and then prepared from drinking her blood and flesh food.Faced with Little Red Riding Hood in the guise of her grandmother, he treated his granddaughter roast human flesh and watered wine from the blood.
housecat tried to warn the girl, she eats the remains of the grandmother, but the wolf ran into it clogs and killed him.After that, Wolf suggested the girl to undress, go to bed with him, and the clothes thrown into the fire.Lying next to the wolf, the girl asked him why he had so much hair, long nails and big teeth.On the last question wolf he replied: "It is to quickly eat you, my child!" And ate it.Most varieties tale ends that way - the death of a child.
But this is just a fairy tale, which the writers did not dare tell intact.The real events that took place in Germany at the end of the XVI century, were much worse.
October 31, 1582 held the cruel punishment of a Peter Stumpf.At first, he was hung on the rack, the wheel that comes out of the body pieces of flesh and bone is crushed, burned with red-hot tongs, cut off the feet and hands, and before you behead, burn.Head Stumpf was strung on a stake, and for a long time the citizens could see its eerie grin.Mistress and daughter Stumpf "lucky" - they simply burned at the stake near the mutilated body.
For what this rich farmer and a good citizen had to endure inhuman agony?
all started with the fact that in the district of a small German village Bedburg, Cologne electorate began to get the cattle and people, especially pregnant women and children.
For many years, residents of Bedburg found in the vicinity of the village gutted sheep and goats, and children with a fractured skull, which was absent in the brains of pregnant women ripped open their bellies and missing fruit.
Some witnesses from among the hunters said they saw a huge wolf nearby.No way - it was a demon or a werewolf.
One night in 1589 a detachment of hunters came out on the trail of the killer.They chased the huge animal, covered with dense hair.Seeing that the gap is widening, the pursuers lowered dogs.Trained dogs, wolves took the trail and soon led the hunters to the ravine, the bottom of which curled hunted animal figures.But then the incredible happened - the animal rose on its hind legs, and people learned to catch the essence of a local resident Peter Stumpf.
Stumpf was immediately arrested and put on trial.During the proceedings came to light the horrific details of his crimes - incest, rape, murder, cannibalism.Stumpf admitted that he ate the brains of even his own son, born of incest with his daughter Sybil.
During the investigation it was found out that 12 years, Peter Stumpf practiced black magic, and he was able to get in touch with the devil himself.Peter received from him a wolf-skin belt, putting that he could turn into a wolf.
Stumpf started with attacks on livestock.Then he turned his attention to the people.For twenty-five years, he made his terrible crimes.He killed at least sixteen men, women and children.Two pregnant women he ripped up bellies and devoured their unborn children.
Shtumf raped his sister and daughter, who has a son from him.When the boy grew up, Peter brought him into the woods, killed and ate his brain raw.
Thus, like many freaks, he remained invisible to the environment.He often strolled through the streets of the village, a friendly smile to their neighbors, children or wives whom he had killed.
Today we would say that Peter Stumpf was a serial killer, a psychopath - and now also catch these criminals for years.Perhaps he was suffering from a rare disease of lycanthropy, the existence of which is not denied in modern psychiatry.But be that as it may, the name of Peter Stumpf always side by side with the sinister nickname "Werewolf of Bedburg."
and ended that directive magistrate, make an example of devil worshipers in the courtyard, where the executions took place, was dug in a high number, it tied with ribbons sixteen, the number of victims of the werewolf.On the pointed top was attached an image of a wolf, and strung on the edge of a severed head and fired Peter Stumpf.His terrible grin long frightened respectable inhabitants of German villages.
