Manuel Blanco Romasanta (18 November 1809 — 14 December 1863) is Spain’s first documented serial killer. In 1853 Romasanta admitted to thirteen murders claiming he was not responsible as he was suffering from a curse that turned him into a wolf. Although this defense was rejected at trial Queen Isabella II commuted his death sentence to allow doctors to investigate the claim as an example of clinical Lycanthropy.
