<QUOTE>Police in Devon are investigating after seven sheep were found dead arranged in an unusual pattern on Dartmoor.
The sheep were found on Sampford Spiney on Dartmoor with their necks broken and their bodies in a pattern sometimes associated with the occult.

The pattern was similar to the shape of a star, or heptagram, a mystical symbol commonly used in occult ceremonies.

Chris Cole, a farmer who owned some of the sheep, said he first thought they were killed by a lightning strike.

Mr Cole, one of three farmer who owned the animals, said he thought it was lightning because "that's what happens when you find groups of animals dead like that".

He said when he realised the animals were left in the seven-pointed shape: "It's scared some people and worried them, me included, being this close to home.

"I don't really know what's happened. It's more what we are imagining happened here now."

Well if it was for religious purposes, it was a stupid act, it's like saying "Let's be good people by killing innocent things"

On another note, when did sacrificing animals for religious purposes end?

MMMM I heard about this on the news this morning, and went and had a look for myself (being I dont live that far away).

It isnt the first time it's happened and there is alot of Occult activity in the Devon area etc!


Not that I would know ??????


(Being a Goth and all) but then you didnt hear that from me!

Anything else you wanna know about Devon?

[freemasonz]

Sure. My money is on drunken soccer hooligans. Practicing satanists usually don't like to make a scene. There is a "belt" running through the middle of Minnesota, where animals come up missing, abandon houses get not-so mysteriously filled with pentagrams and empty beer cans. While there are several practicing satanist churches in this "belt", the majority are bored kids who's idea of a black mass is a pail full of black rasberry jello shots and a strangled cat. Dosen't it make sense that real satanists would want to fly under the radar.

Still, its a brutal crime scene. I can only wonder at the last fearful moments of those animals lives! I have a Devon question for you madam, is there a CSI to investigate this type of misuse of appropiations over there? (On the other side of the pond?)

[freemasonz]

aggreed, wanton waste is vulgar.

[William One Sac]

What do you mean, "We wont be here again?"

[freemasonz]

No matter how hard things are, no matter what personal hurdles you have to overcome, regarless of how the deck is stacked against you. "Live deliberately and suck the marrow out of life". We won't be here again. Here endith the lesson, and now back to our thread 'bout gutted sheep on the english countryside.

[William One Sac]

Ah well Thats a relief! I thought you werent coming back to the message board.
'
Speaking of gutted sheep, BlackWidow, were the sheep gutted? If so, where were the entrails? The morbidly curious want to know!

[blackwidow]

So I found out through friends, asociates etc etc.........friend of a friend in the police you might even say, 1 of the sheep did have the entails removed from its body, and it was nothing more than a holly shell. (and they hadnt been found either)

Although that wasnt or hasnt been made public, as they want to play it down, know what I mean?

2 of the sheep had been drained of their blood as well.

That was also kept from the public-eye, sometimes it helps too know people...........then again sometimes it doesnt (but thats another story)?



And I'm always "Morbidly Curious" as well.

Welcome to the family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[freemasonz]

yuck, sheep guts, they smell bad enough on the outside.

I wonder why the police are trying to supress that information? Its already being seen as a satanic ritual... And if stories are leaking out it makes the police seem like they are trying to hide something...

<QUOTE>A Gruesome find on a West moor has once again cast the disturbing shadow of the occult over the region. Police are investigating the macabre discovery on Dartmoor of seven slain sheep, their limp bodies apparently arranged to form a heptagram - a seven-pointed star symbol that has for centuries been linked to the dark arts and Black Magic rituals.

Each of the docile animals had had its neck broken and, after their deaths, the animals heads were turned to jut sickeningly in different directions.

The disturbing find comes after last summer's death of Peter Solheim, a parish councillor from Carnkie in Cornwall with strong occult connections. His body was found floating in the sea of the Lizard peninsula covered in unexplained marks.

The sheep corpses were found on the slopes of Pew Tor in the Moortown area of Dartmoor.

"It was quickly established that it was the work of human hands and not animal," said a police spokesman yesterday. "The necks were broken and had been deliberately been placed to face different directions."
