First time I heard about the gruesome story behind this song.
The werewolf of Bedburg.

Faced with being stretched on the excruciating rack, Stumpp confessed to practising lycanthropy, sorcery, and necromancy since the age of 12. He indulged the magistrates by detailing how the devil had appeared to him and gifted him a girdle a few years later. The belt possessed magical properties, which enabled him to transform into the Werewolf of Bedburg. He admitted to using this girdle to commit many atrocities in the form of a wolf, including at least 16 murders, the rape of young women and acts of incest concerning his sister and daughter whom he โbegat a childeโ. The girdle mentioned was never recovered and Stumpp confessed to discarding the girdle upon apprehension and returning it to the devil.

In a special Halloween program, folklore researcher and werewolf expert, Craig Thomson will take guests on a deep dive through the history, legends and traditions associated with the werewolf. From classical antiquity all the way to the present day, this talk will demonstrate that there is more to these legends than silver bullets, wolfsbane and howling at the full moon!
