: During his 1853 trial, he claimed he suffered from a curse that transformed him into a wolf. While the court rejected the supernatural claim, he was found to have a "clinical lycanthropy" (a psychiatric delusion).

If you are looking for facts for a project, "Romasanta" refers to:

The wagon wheels groan against the damp earth of the Galician woods, a rhythmic protest that mimics a heartbeat. Manuel—the "Home do Unto"—smiles as he works. His hands, though calloused from the road, are steady as they render the fat. He bottles the pale, scentless oil with the precision of an apothecary.

: Known as the "Werewolf of Allariz," he was a traveling vendor who confessed to murdering thirteen people.

: He was nicknamed O do Unto (The Fat Man) because he was accused of making soap and medicinal ointments from the body fat of his victims.

But as the moon swells above the pines, Manuel’s own skin begins to itch with a terrible, phantom heat. He remembers the curse, the fur that only he can see, and the long, howling hunger that tastes of silver and salt. To the world, he is a traveling tailor; to the night, he is the beast that never leaves a footprint. Historical Context
