A truly gruesome cannibal who went down in French criminal history as a serial killer was Blaize Ferrage, better known as Seyé. Blaize Ferrage was born in 1755 in the French village of Ceseau. Although small in stature, he possessed enormous muscular strength. Blaize learned the trade of bricklaying, which he practiced until he was 22. Then, for no apparent reason, he left his home and settled in the mountains of Aure, where he built his mountain nest on a rocky peak. There, he could satisfy his bloodlust undisturbed at night by killing sheep, mutton, and birds to eat. But soon this was no longer enough for him, so he began hunting humans. He kidnapped them and took them to his dwelling, where he devoured them like a wild animal, earning him the name “Werewolf of the Pyrenees.” He was particularly fond of young women and children, with whom he enjoyed sexual pleasures before they ended up in his cooking pot. This monster, which had murdered and eaten at least 80 people, had to be exterminated. This task was taken on by the legendary soldiers of the Maréchausée, a militarily organized police unit, who, instead of capturing him, ran away from the wild beast. Many believed that Blaize’s incredible strength was caused by a herb he wore in his hair. When he was briefly captured, the soldiers pulled out his hair. But Blaize managed to escape again. To finally finish him off, a criminal was recruited to befriend Blaize. This plan actually worked, and Blaize was captured during a joint robbery. He was tried at the Parliament of Toulouse, the court of Languedoc. On December 12, 1782, at the age of only 25, he was sentenced to death by breaking wheel, one of the most cruel forms of execution. An entire army had to be deployed at his execution to protect him from the raging crowd, who wanted to lynch him themselves. On the wheel, all his bones were first broken with a club before he was strapped to the wheel. The crowd was only satisfied when his body was carried away to be buried. Finally, the specter of the cannibal in the Pyrenees had come to an end.
