A woman is certain that the photos obtained by her surveillance camera show two ‘witches’ indulging in a strange ‘ceremony’ in which they eat a carcass. This happened in the middle of the night, just a few yards away from her house.
While riding one of her horses near Powell River, Canada, a lady named Corinea Stanhope, 36, came across a deceased deer at the far end of her garden.
She decided to install a motion-activated trail camera to monitor any animal activity in the area after becoming intrigued by the nightly activities.
The substance she uncovered from the camera footage, on the other hand, proved to be enormously creepy and profoundly upsetting.
Social media platforms are now ablaze with posts featuring the purported gathering of individuals partaking in the consumption of the deer’s remains.
Speculations among viewers are rife, suggesting that these actions may be connected to a diabolical ritual. This incident has rapidly garnered viral attention, igniting extensive online discourse.
“I remain bewildered by the peculiar sight,” expressed 36-year-old Corinea Stanhope when recounting the hair-raising experience to Kennedy News. “It genuinely sent shivers down our spines; it’s not an everyday occurrence.”
“I and my grandfather mounted a motion-activated camera in the hopes of capturing wildlife, and we indeed captured a bobcat on camera, which was quite remarkable,” the Canadian citizen vividly described.
Little did she anticipate that this would not be the sole ferocious creature captured by the camera. “The next day, when I returned, my grandpa informed me that he had recorded nude individuals on the camera, and I skeptically responded, ‘No, you did not… nonsense.’ He proceeded to show me the evidence,” Stanhope recollected.
Unsettling photographs, taken shortly after sundown, portrayed two women adorned in disheveled attire, with lengthy black locks veiling their visages.
They were observed in a hunched position over the motionless deer, seemingly feasting upon its remains in a manner reminiscent of a scene from the 2014 horror film “The Witch.”
Two hungry people were totally unclothed except for rudimentary cloths covering their lower bodies, in this terrifying scenario evocative of a horror film shot in found video manner.
“It appears as though they are wearing makeshift wigs,” Stanhope noticed in her report. Underneath, the woman appears to have blonde hair.”
“It’s difficult to tell from the photos, but one of them brought a hoof right up to her mouth,” she added.
The astonished woman was unsure whether the individuals she nicknamed the “witches of beast-wick” were “kissing, sniffing, or consuming” the animal carcass.
Nevertheless, she felt repulsed by the ritual due to the potential presence of a multitude of bacteria on the decaying remains.
Stanhope found the whole encounter extremely unsettling, given that it took place a mere two minutes away from her residence. The close proximity intensified the disquietude she felt.
“I was concerned that they might disturb my horses during the night,” the medical practitioner shared. “The horses always get extremely agitated and uneasy in that area.”
She added, “Initially, I thought they were imagining things, so I didn’t pay much attention. But now I might believe them.”
Social media users became convinced that the Canadian woman had witnessed witches, a local cult, or some other sinister entity involved in a demonic ritual.
“This is genuinely terrifying,” commented one viewer, while another speculated, “That’s a skinwalker; they appear ‘human’ so that you approach them, and once you do, you vanish.”
“That’s essentially a walking demon from the depths of hell,” theorized a third. “If you hear screams, stay indoors, arm yourself, and avoid any interaction.”
An enthusiast of the occult even suggested that the naked individuals could be wendigos, Native American spirits known for possessing people and transforming them into cannibals.
According to their description on Legends of America, “This creature has long been recognized among various indigenous peoples, including the Algonquian, Ojibwe, Eastern Cree, Saulteaux, Westmain Swampy Cree, Naskapi, and Innu. They have described them as giants, often much larger than humans.”
They added, “While there may be some variations in the descriptions, a common thread among these cultures is the belief that the wendigo is a malevolent, cannibalistic, supernatural being closely associated with winter, the north, coldness, famine, and starvation.”
Stanhope mentioned that some commenters suggested the duo could be part of a demonic cult.
“There are rumors circulating in town about a cult that collects animal bones. I can’t confirm if it’s true,” she remarked. “Since I posted the photos, a few people have mentioned it. A friend claimed to have encountered two individuals in the woods carrying deceased squirrels.”
Some concerned viewers advised Stanhope to report the incident to the police, and she admitted feeling tempted to do so. However, her grandfather, Bob, pointed out that technically, the pair was not involved in any illegal activities.
“He was quite shocked,” said Stanhope, who hopes that the peculiar diners were simply playing a prank.
“I’m hoping they went for a stroll during the day, noticed the trail camera, and decided to have some fun with us or that they were under the influence of drugs,” she concluded.
