It is common knowledge in France, and yes there was REALLY something targeting people back then. An enormous wolf was killed but it is impossible to say if the murders were really its doing. It was important for the king to find a culprit (guilty or not) because the murders were creating great turmoil in the country. The Church used them saying they were manifestations of the Devil and a proof of God's anger toward the king's dissolute way of life. At least, this is what we are thaught in school.
