This article was originally written for a paranormal magazine called The Paranormal Journal, it became known as The Underground Files covering ghosts, ufos, cryptozoology, and government conspiracies amongst others. I no longer write for the magazine and it is no longer in existence.
Horse
Mutilations in the UK
Horses have been
found mutilated in the UK. In one incident, a dead female horse had been slashed
in the belly with a sharp instrument.
There was hardly any blood
in the field where she was found, though several gallons of it had been drained
from the body.
An injured colt was also
found. Symbols were carved into his skin and chunks of skin and mane were
removed and left in a stone circle that was constructed nearby.
12 horse mutilations have
taken place in the area. Stone circles and arrangements of sticks and branches
have been left at the scenes.
Some of the attacks were
sexual.
The bloodless cutting and
excising of genitals are similar to mutilations of cattle and cats in the US and
abroad.
The ritual aspect of some of
these cases have not been seen before, though satanic cults have long been
blamed for the attacks.
This could mean that the
mutilations could come from two different sources.
The traditional
perpetrators, that have been identified, and cultists who want to claim credit
for these mysterious crimes.
“We have found stone circles
in the fields, measuring from 8 to 15 feet across, usually made up of a small
number of stones, for example five with one stone in the middle,” says a South
Yorkshire police officer. “This indicative of a five-pointed star but it’s open
to interpretation… Lines are also drawn in the fields of 5 or 6 stones pointing
to the centre of the field. At the majority of these sites it does point to
occult practices – not paganism or Wicca, which celebrate life and the
lifecycle, but black arts and the occult calendar.”
