5. Alfred Packer – Ravenous
In 1873, Alfred Packer attempted to climb the high mountains of Colorado during the peak of a harsh winter with five other men. When the snow became too deep for them to travel further they were stuck and slowly began to run out of food. Upon his safe return he claimed that the others had died from the severe weather conditions. SEE ALSO: Top 10 vampire serial killers in history of the world – You need to see #1 (With Pictures)
Nine years later, Packer confessed to close friends that he was forced to resort to murder and cannibalism in order to survive his expedition. He was put on trial and sentenced to death but after a retrial the sentence was changed to manslaughter and he was jailed for forty years.
In 2005, Devoured was released as a budget movie. The IMDB tagline reads: “Years after Packer terrorised a Colorado mining camp, similar murders have begun to occur. As the body-count rises, it soon becomes clear that the flesh-hungry madman may have survived for more than a hundred years”. Obviously the discrepancies in accuracy angered film critics and the movie gained shockingly low reviews.
