Hi friends, we are convinced that the record today I unveil alpha is known to many of you and still will attract your attention. We also say that the main reason that caused the creation of this record has been that to our surprise, Manuel Blanco Romasanta, made headlines again almost a century after his birth. Apparently a team of American anthropologists Lican belonging to the Foundation (the name of the foundation also calls us a lot of attention) has given nothing less than the remains of two victims of this insatiable and wild psycho-killer Spanish. (Probably one of the first course). The case is not idle and like us all that is research and know that we love, here you have the "profile" of one of the most popular sadly murderers in our history, so stay friends and remember when the moon is full ... Do not ever leave the path:
Was the nineteenth century in Spain, on November 18, 1809, in the village of Regueiro (Orense), apparently a normal child born to that history will know the name of Manuel Blanco Romasanta, although his birth certificate actually consist as Manuela, since birth, thought it was a girl. He was a cultured man, looking nice and helpful to everyone, although as effeminate air and have good knowledge of the Galician forests. (A circumstance that would really good for what would happen later)
After leaving school was under the command of his uncle Ramon Lopez Romasanta, who taught him a tailor and the art of soaps and perfumes, but Manuel something called the attention of his uncle ... The full moon disappeared and a few days appeared with cuts and scrapes, his nephew's curiosity made him ask what had happened with no response, until one day he decided to follow him into the forest and there in a cave discovered dark by his own testimony to a supernatural beast. (This event will forever mark)
At 21, Manuel Blanco Romasanta married, widowed only four years later, which would also leave a deep impression on him. Since that time, Taylor left his profession and began his career as a peddler, salesman and marketer of butter, very popular in those years. At the same time seeks to serve the people offering to read and write letters for them and make all kinds of personal favors, so far everything seemed normal, but nobody could imagine that for years, this man of weak and fragile appearance sow real terror for years, his desire to kill proved uncontrollable, its victims could never even imagine what it hid in his disturbed mind or intelligence manipulative.
Apparently and according to Manuel tells during his trial, his macabre killings were allegedly motivated by a curse. Manuel easegura at the hearing that he can not control, something compels him to behave like a wild animal and Debora those poor people during the full moon, when the prosecutor asked to make a demonstration to the courtroom, said Romasanta "The curse lasts only thirteen years old and last week met the deadline and I was cured" ...
His first victim was the Sheriff of Leon, Vicente Fernandez, who was going to seize the store where he worked in those days, the two went for a walk apparently to talk, the Sheriff's wife saw them leave together, never to see her husband. A few miles PARDEV (a nearby town) found the body, the Court of Ponferrada fourteen months after Romasanta sentence to ten years in prison, but does not appear, immediate comment in absentia and beginning his search and seizure.
Romasanta is then installed in the small village of Rebordechao province of Orense, with the kindness that characterized him in his normal state, begin to "fix" the lives of these people earning their trust by promising them well in other towns, they were accompanied by the forest to their destination, a destination that never came to fruition as deep in the thick of it killed its victims to bite, helped by its massive claws to devour later. (At least partially)
At first all went well, continued his peddling mainly fat or lard, it is said that fat actually came from that obtained from their victims, slowly over time, the neighbors began to feel uncomfortable with their presence , observed with increasing frequency, of each person or persons accompanying Romasanta on those trips, never heard from again. Only had news that Manuel wrote the letters himself, family members and try to reassure them so not to arouse suspicion.
This terrible monster intelligence unusual for the time, realized that was not well seen and decided to change and go to sell their "articles" to Portugal and its provinces, where in addition to selling butter, also sold the belongings of his previous victims. In fact this was also another reason that caused suspicion among the population in more than one occasion, came to recognize clothing and personal belongings of their relatives among the objects that sold Romasanta ... Portugal was not his only destination, Lugo walked, Castilla, Leon and even Toledo, where he would later be imprisoned.
In his flight was leaving more and more murders until Escalona (Toledo) was captured and tried in Allariz, admitted killing nine people, although the true figure is not known, other theories are that reached a thirteen fatalities but as we say this is undoubtedly one of the many mysteries surrounding the shadow of this sinister werewolf ...
The trial lasted about a year and April 6, 1853 was issued to end the death penalty sentence by the judge Allariz, condemning him to garrote and a thousand real compensation per victim.
The lawyer Romasanta (advised by a hypnotist named Philip) claims that can not be sure it is the real murderer by a simple confession as no real evidence that he was the perpetrator of the crimes sought mercy to the very Queen of Spain Elizabeth II taking the case for review to the Supreme Court of Justice. Although this fact in itself is already amazing (go to the piety of the queen was something really unusual at the time) is even more unlikely that the Queen, signed an order commuting the death sentence of life imprisonment, the hypnotist above conventional His Highness that Romasanta really was mentally ill and that he may save his life, something that did not sit very well with the masses calling for his death.
Indeed, the death of Romasanta is not very clear, and is also part of his personal legend, some say he died in prison in Allariz, others say, however, who escaped fled to the forests that knew so well, but if so or not, life and death of this terrible murderer, unleashed rivers of ink all over the world as it was, and remains to this day, (our country) the only firm who have been convicted for being a true werewolf.
Still today by those mountains, it is said that in full moon nights you can hear the howl of the werewolf Allariz heartbreaking ...
NOTES OF INTEREST:
The reason for the sentence no. 1788, Wolfman, dated 1852, contains 2000 pages of handwritten text and the sentence against one of the most famous murderers in the history of crime in Spain, is in fact the only process that is tried and condemned legally a person trying to werewolf (werewolf). This case is on file at the offices of the courts are Galicia and without doubt one truly shocking document.
MOVIES
The forest Wolf, released in 1971, directed by Pedro Olea, based on the novel by Carlos Martínez-Barbeito, entitled The Forest Ancine based on real events. There is also another film later but for our taste of much lower quality and rigor entitled "Romasanta, hunting the Beast" directed by Paco Plaza and played by a voluptuous stranger Elsa Pataky Julian Sand, the film went unnoticed by different contests and ended up being video-meat club. Nothing to do with the former undoubtedly proved a great product of the horror genre that we recommend with all our enthusiasm.
