Warning. This episode contains depictions of animal harm and may be disturbing to some listeners.

First it was the prized hen laying by the coop, lifeless in the hot morning sun. Every drop of her blood had been drained. We didn't think much of it until

two days later when we found the rooster too. Same as the hen, the blood had been drained,

bone dry literally. Worried that the chicken killer would keep coming back. We reinforced the wiring on the

pen and added an extra lock. The chickens were unharmed the next night, but that morning

we found the geese. Not just one or two of them, but all of them. All nine of them were

dead. Their throats were torn out and their veins

were dry. There were no tracks, no trace of the vicious culprit, only the death it left behind.

So we waded up with our torches and our guns, hiding and watching.

I dozed off just before dawn, but was woke to the screaming of the goats.

They sounded almost human in their terror and pain.

Running to their pen I heard growls accompany their bleeding screams, but I was too late.

Stopping at the edge of the fence, I discovered four dead and two still twitching.

Scanning the area with my gun raised, I saw it in the distance, a four-legged phantom, looking back at me with glowing

yellow eyes. I could almost feel its hunger. Welcome to Freaky Folklore, the podcast where we
