Old stone wall and structure beyond in the Beast's realm
On the
evening of May 1, 1765, the Beast was seen and fired upon on by three brothers
named La Chaumette, at their home in the parish of Saint-Alban. One had spied it from
a window. The siblings seized their weapons and went after it. Two brothers
were able to hit the animal, and it fell both times, but ultimately got to its
feet and eluded them in the brushwood. The brothers immediately got word to the
d’Ennevals, but the Normans did not arrive until the next day. The brothers
concurred with other witnesses that the Beast was a wolf of a different color,
large and striped. And they were convinced it would be found dead. But the
Normans found nothing.
