Do you ever stop and think how incredible the natural world is?

The idea that when we die, our bodies are absorbed back into the earth, the soil,

that we become one with Mother Nature again.

She has a funny way of coming full circle like that.

So when something dies in such an unnatural way, it really calls everything we know about the cycle of life into question.

It disrupts the quiet balance when nature doesn't behave the way it's supposed to.

It's unsettling.

Which is why today's case is one we need to explore. For centuries,

farmers, mostly in remote areas, have reported finding their livestock dead without explanation.

Like come bedtime, they're fine, but by the next morning they have suffered the most gruesome fate.

I'm talking tongues or eyes removed with surgical precision. Every single drop of blood drained from the animal's body and no tracks or footprints leading to or from the animal signaling who could have done it.

And this hasn't just happened to a few animals.

Thousands have been reported over the last several decades in the United States alone,

which has me wondering,

is it some sort of occult ritual,

hungry predators, a bizarre disease,

some top-secret government project,

or are the answers not of our natural world?

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is So Supernatural. Animal lovers, beware, because today's episode is a hard one to stomach.

But it's also so bizarre and mysterious that we just couldn't look away.
