A Canadian nurse and environment enthusiast claims to have caught on tape what she describes as "two witches holding a carcass-eating ritual" in the woods near her house.
Corinea Stanhope, 36, from Powell River, British Columbia, told Kennedy News via Fox News that she was not sure what it was since it was not something you run across every day.
The Camera Footage Caught Not Only a Bob Cat but Something Weirder
Stanhope said she discovered a deer corpse in her yard and put up the camera to watch for any animals that may be interested in the body.
She and 76-year-old grandfather Bob set up a trail camera to see if they could catch any wildlife on film. They did get to see a bobcat on camera, which was pretty cool, according to her. However, her grandfather was horrified when he examined the video footage and saw what appeared to be a scantily-clad woman munching down on the carcass at night.
Stanhope said the said people appeared about 10 minutes after sundown looking disheveled and as though they were wearing wigs.
She claimed, "You can't really tell from the photos, but the hoof was brought right up to her mouth. I don't know if she was kissing it, smelling, or eating it, but to touch a decaying carcass like that makes me feel sick. The amount of bacteria that must have been on there."
The lack of clothing makes it hard to believe that they were paying respect.
Because this occurred within a two-minute walk from Stanhope's home, she said that she was creeped out and worried for the safety of her horses.
"I was concerned about them messing with my horses at night," she said, adding that her horses are easily frightened and anxious in that area.

Could This Be a Prank or Anything Else?
The nurse hoped that it was all an elaborate joke or that the people involved were "on some good drugs." When considering calling the police, she ultimately chose not to when her grandfather pointed out that nothing had really been damaged.
After Stanhope uploaded the shots to the internet, they sparked much discussion. Some users said it was a joke, while others suspected a demonic or otherworldly motive.
One commenter described the figure as "basically a walking demon from hell." Some people hypothesized that the images were "skinwalkers" or "wendigos," two evil mythical beings with roots in Native American mythology.
Nevertheless, Stanhope's observation that the so-called witches had long blonde hair beneath their wild raven wigs was cited by several online users as proof of this idea, as the New York Post reported.
