The Anspach Werewolf was a German werewolf case that happened in 1685. The werewolf was believed to be a returning dead burgomaster who wanted to raise havoc to Anspach, present-day Ansbach, Germany. They also believed he was sort of a vampire, since he came back from the dead and attacked. He killed many women, children, and domestic animals. The townspeople got together to hunt this beast down, and eventually chased the wolf into a well, its final resting place. The wolf was brought up and dressed up like the burgomaster. It had on a flesh-colored suit, mask, beard, and a wig. The wolf carcass was hung on a gibbet for all of the town to see, then was later put on display at a museum where it was titled a werewolf.
