A woman is convinced that photos captured by her security camera depict two 'witches' engaging in a peculiar 'ritual' involving the consumption of a carcass. This incident occurred late at night, just a few yards from her residence.

In Powell River, Canada, a 36-year-old woman named Corinea Stanhope was riding horseback when she came across a lifeless deer at the edge of her backyard.

Curiosity piqued by the nighttime activity, she installed a trail camera, hoping to capture any animals that might frequent the area.

However, what she uncovered in the camera footage was undeniably eerie and deeply unsettling.

Social media is buzzing with posts showcasing the purported group of individuals feasting upon the deer carcass.

Viewers are speculating that their actions might be connected to a satanic ritual. The incident has swiftly garnered viral attention, igniting extensive online discussions.

"I don't know what the heck was up with that," Corinea Stanhope, 36, told Kennedy News of the spine-tingling sight. "It really freaked us out, it's not something you see every day."

"Me and my grandpa put up a trail camera to see if we could see animals and we got a bobcat on camera, which was pretty cool," the Canuck described.

Unknown to her, that was not the sole bloodthirsty creature they would capture on camera. "I came the next day and grandpa said he'd got naked people on the camera and I said 'no you didn't … bulls–t' so he showed me," Stanhope recalled.

Spooky photographs, taken shortly after sunset, portrayed two women with disheveled appearances and long black hair obscuring their faces.

They were observed crouching over the motionless deer, seemingly indulging in its remains in a manner reminiscent of a scene from the 2014 horror film "The Witch."

In this bone-chilling scene evocative of a found footage horror flick, the two greedy individuals were completely unclothed, save for what seemed to be loin cloths draped over their lower bodies.

"It looks like they have wigs on," described Stanhope. "One looks like she has blonde hair underneath."

She added, "You can't really tell from the photos but the hoof was brought right up to her mouth."

The astonished woman was bewildered, unsure whether the individuals she dubbed the "witches of Beast-wick" were "kissing, sniffing, or eating" the carcass.

Nevertheless, she experienced a sense of disgust towards the ritual, primarily due to the potential abundance of bacteria on the decomposing remains.

Stanhope was thoroughly unnerved by the unsettling fact that the eerie encounter occurred two minutes from her house. The proximity intensified the unsettling nature of the situation for her.

"I was concerned about them messing with my horses at night," the medical practitioner said. "The horses always get really spooked and unnerved around that area."

She added, "I thought they imagined stuff at first so I didn't think anything of it. Maybe I believe them now."

Social media users were convinced the Canadian woman had witnessed witches, a local cult, or some malicious entity engaged in a demonic ritual.

"This is actually terrifying," commented one viewer, while another posited, "That's a skinwalker, they look 'human' so you come up to them and once you do you're gone."

"That's basically a walking demon from hell," theorized a third. "If you hear screaming stay inside and get a gun you leave it alone."

A single enthusiast of the occult even suggested that the naked individuals might be wendigos, spirits from Native American folklore recognized for possessing individuals and transforming them into cannibals.

"This creature has long been known among the Algonquian Ojibwe, Eastern Cree, Saulteaux, Westmain Swampy Cree, Naskapi, and Innu peoples," reads their description on Legends of America. "They have described them as giants, many times larger than human beings."

They added, "Although descriptions can vary somewhat, common to all these cultures is the view that the wendigo is a malevolent, cannibalistic, supernatural being strongly associated with winter, the north, coldness, famine, and starvation."

According to Stanhope, some commentators suggested that they were affiliated with a demonic cult.

"There's rumors around town about a cult that collects animal bones. I don't know if it's real or not," she said. "Some people have mentioned it since I posted the photos. A friend said they came across two people in the woods carrying some dead squirrels."

Some concerned viewers advised Stanhope to contact the police about the incident, and she admitted feeling tempted to do so. However, her grandfather, Bob, pointed out that, technically, the duo was not involved in any illegal activities.

"He was pretty mortified," said the woman, who hoped that the deer diners were simply pulling a prank.

"I'm hoping they went for a walk in the day, saw the trail cam was set up and wanted to have a bit of fun with us or they're on some good drugs," she said.
