Werewolves, vampires, and witchcraft, oh my!
Oh wait, you mean they're just serial killers?
Supernatural Serial Killers: Chilling Cases of Paranormal Bloodlust and Deranged Fantasy focuses on serial killers that have animalist of Satanic characteristics. It starts in the 1800's with vicious werewolf attacks, at least that's what society thought it was. There murders were so brutal they could not fathom how anything other than an animal could have caused the gruesome scenes. When it was apparent that werewolves were no longer popular, the murderers obviously had to be vampires. No person in their right mind would commit murders and drain victims of their blood. They were drinking directly from their victims wounds and could not control the impulse to do so. Some even went as far to cannibalize their victims as a means to gain power. Witchcraft came about in the 1900's when murderers began placing blame hallucinations, deities, Satan, even God Himself.
All of the murders could be described in great detail and oftentimes had an motive behind it. These killers were not werewolves, vampires, or witches. They suffered from mental illnesses that were not yet discovered, therefore society could not comprehend the violence happening around them. They found it easier to blame a mythical creature than to believe that someone in their community could commit such heinous crimes.
