Part 2 Monster or Murderer - Animal X Natural Mystery Unit

Almost 250 years ago, a frightening creature lurking at the foot of the French Alps is said to have killed more than 300 people. The creature has become known as the Beast of Gevaudan.

Daniel and Natalie step back in time to 18th century France where they visit the killing ground of this mysterious historical monster. Countless theories hang over the Beast's identity. In a hunt for the truth, the Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit talks with descendants of the Beast's victims, local historians and animal experts. As they trace the myth through historical documents and official royal records dating back to the 1760s, they come across startling evidence about the true identity of this voracious killer.

Some say the beast was a wolf, others claim it was an exotic animal imported from a far away country. Was this really the work of a rogue animal with a taste for human blood or was a serial killer involved in this horrific killing spree?
The Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit piece together the evidence in this fascinating investigation. Will they solve the mystery that has puzzled generations?

So as a tribute to those roots, the same roots as Bill himself, Ive used Bills talents as an actor to portray our Host as a kind of 21st century Music Hall or Vaudeville crier or performer. Kinda Gothic, kinda different. I mean why be normal.

Love it, or hate it. Thats Show Business, but I think Bill is great

Bill is also known for his role in Hancocks Half Hour, a radio show, before Television.

But he goes back further than that to Vaudeville or Music Hall as it was known in Britain. The city version of the travelling circuses and shows, complete with its freak shows, its Cryptozoology collectors and investigators.

[StorytellerMedia]

He must be the oldest working actor in the world, who is known to a huge and much younger generation and it seems you either love him or hate him.

Bill Kerr has been in more than 40 films with actors such as Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. He was in the Dambusters, (if you dont know then Google it), He was even in Doctor Who back in the 60s.

[StorytellerMedia]

These fairs and circuses included the freak shows that were the home to Elephant Man, Siamese Twins, Bearded Ladies, dinosaur eggs and other natural mysteries; some were believable others were unbelievable, but where they real? It was left to the audience to make up its own minds.

Bill Kerr was 85 years old when we made the Natural Mystery Unit. (hes still alive today and wants to make another series).

To those who dont quite get Bills role, and what the Natural Mystery Unit is about.

Theres not enough room here to explain the whole ethos of Animal X, but I will explain where Bill comes from.

Animal X is the only long running Cryptozoology show in the world, Cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals, animals considered to be legendary or nonexistent by mainstream biology.

Cryptozoology has its roots in the travelling fairs and circuses of the late 1800s.

Italy did NOT release wolves back into the wild. The wolves simply spread by themselves.

I like how Bill's lips twitch. "In the case of a small victim, the head can be bitten off completely. And then the wolf leisurely tears into the victim's body and eats the intrails. -twitch-"

@TroWu I agree with you.

[TroWu]

For a wolf to actually attack and even kill a human then something must be seriously wrong with it... they're not stupid they know that humans are a threat to them.

Personally I would go with a serial killer or a hyena.

[sonadowfangirl30869]

well. an heyna has a very strong bitepower and the wolf is always is packs. so the hyena has more of chance.

@UrsusPolaris01 why are all the wolfs yellow not a singl black or white one

[razor014445673]

@Nobodywantsme ha mastiff thats shit  a wolf will just glare at it and go on

[SAVAGEGREENMACHINE]

IF YOU'RE A FARMER YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE THE OCCASIONAL SHEEP,

THAT LAND IS THE NATURAL HUNTING GROUND OF THE WOLF, IT HAS MORE RIGHT TO BE THERE THAN THAT RETARDED FARMER, PROBABLY HALF THE SHEEP HE REPORTS MISSING HAVE JUST WONDERED OFF AS IT'S NOT THEIR NATURAL WAY OF LIFE . AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT THE FARMER IS PROBABLY DOING WHAT THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE TO THIER SHEEP WHEN THEIR BORED/LONELY/HORNY!

Reading up on this thing is creepy..apparently it kills in four year periods. Usually the killings either abruptly stopped or stopped with the death of one or more creatures, but after a period of time they always began again.

[AlbertaWildman]

@iDumbAzn He takes any amount of seriousness out of the show. I cannot help laughing when I hear his narration.

[Freez57fr]

Why the interpreter speaks with this ridiculous and exaggerated French accent???
