In the year 1692, an 86-year-old man who lived in the town of Mālpils in Latvia stood before a judge and calmly proclaimed that he was a werewolf working for the benefit of the community. The man, known as Thiess of Kaltenbrun, made a series of curious statements during his testimony, describing not only the habits of werewolves but also offering a vivid account of Hell.
Thiess’s confession, preserved in the transcripts of the court proceedings, has long struck researchers as highly unusual. Bruce Lincoln, who translated the trial record from German into English, has described it as “one of the best surviving pieces of evidence for a werewolf’s self-understanding.”
