1 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,000 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,000 In this episode, we're talking about the Ozark cattle 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,440 mutilations. That's correct, the Ozark cattle 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,600 mutilations. Some really strange occurrences 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,120 here happening back in the 70s and 80s, even in into the 90s. 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,720 I found this article over at Encyclopedia arkansas.net 7 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,320 talking about these strange cattle mutilations. 8 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,520 It says although accounts of livestock mutilations date back 9 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,280 as far as the 17th century, globally, the reports from the 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,680 United States in the 1970s are the most famous. 11 00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:42,400 During this period, Midwestern cattle ranchers provided 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,280 substantially similar reports of livestock with ears, eyes, 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,280 udders, sex organs, and anuses removed with apparent surgical 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,920 precision. Frequently, it appeared that the 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,320 animal's blood had been drained. Reports of cattle mutilation 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,240 emerged throughout Arkansas, peaking in the late 1970s, and 17 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,400 drew serious attention from state and local law enforcement 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,840 agencies, including the Washington County Sheriff's 19 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,560 Office. The supposed mutilations were 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,400 eventually explained as a as typical cattle deaths, 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,200 decomposition, and scavenger activity. 22 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,960 Now that's kind of the narrative that they like to use. 23 00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,360 Sometimes they'll throw in the satanic cattle tippers there 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,800 too. Given the significant role of 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,840 livestock in the state economy, the deaths of cattle under 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,320 seemingly strange circumstances concerned Arkansas ranchers and 27 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,440 garnered substantial media attention. 28 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:41,000 In Arkansas, the first calamulation was reported in the 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,200 fall of 1977. State police records indicate 30 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,000 that from April 1978 to September 1979, there were 39 31 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,320 reports of unexplained cattle deaths in the state, 23 in 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,680 northwestern Arkansas and 16 in North Central Arkansas. 33 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,960 Between 1978 and 1991, Carroll County farmer James Thorn lost 5 34 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,360 cows under mysterious circumstances, all being found 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,400 with precise cuts, no blood and missing organs. 36 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,160 Now think about that. No blood. 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,840 We've talked about these things before. 38 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,640 They've got gallons and gallons of blood in them. 39 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,880 How do you, how do you kill an animal like that, drain all the 40 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,360 blood out of it and not have any of the blood left on the ground? 41 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,520 In 1991, news about Thorn's fifth dead cow spread quickly in 42 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,320 the sheriff. A local veterinarian and two 43 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,720 unidentified flying object investigators from Missouri 44 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,160 inspected the cow. The farmer remarked that the UFO 45 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,560 investigators were professional and thorough, posting that the 46 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000 animal had been killed by aliens that used a laser to remove the 47 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,320 organs with extreme precision. Now, I have to kind of disagree 48 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200 with this a little bit because they're jumping to conclusions. 49 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,120 They could say that it appeared like that or, you know, that 50 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,360 that maybe somehow these are the kind of injuries they would 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,800 expect from a laser. But you just can't say, well, 52 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 this is what happened unless you're right there. 53 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,840 As an eyewitness goes on and says. 54 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,360 From May to August 1979, reports of mutilations emerged from 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,480 Herber Springs. That's in Cleburne County, 56 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,240 Mulberry, which in Crawford County and Ozark in Franklin 57 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,320 County, Moulton in Conway County and Ashton in Little River 58 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,600 County and Van Buren in Crawford County. 59 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,040 The guy? These things are just popping up 60 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,680 all over the place. Some reports, like those in 61 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,040 Herbert Springs and Moulton, were dismissed as shootings or 62 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,680 the work of scavengers. Others remained unexplained, 63 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,600 prompting 75 cattle ranchers to offer $1200 rewards for the 64 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,880 arrest and convictions of any cattle mutilators. 65 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,640 Of course, these never have been collected, at least to my 66 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,960 knowledge. The Humane Society called on 67 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,160 Governor Bill Clinton to appoint a task force to study the 68 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,800 mutilation. In the summer of 1979, 69 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,160 Lieutenant Don Reystrom with the Benton County Sheriff's 70 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Department and Sergeant Doug Foley with the Arkansas State 71 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,840 Police joined law enforcement officials from 13 states to 72 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,440 discuss cattle mutilations. At the meeting, Reystrom and 73 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Fogley presented data from a mutilation event near 74 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:28,920 Bentonville in Benton County that showed PCP, mescaline and 75 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:34,280 santinin, A discontinued worming agent in the cow's bloodstream. 76 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,480 PCP, or phenocyclodyne, is a disassociative anesthetic that 77 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,480 was developed in the 1950s for veterinary surgery. 78 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,640 The drug became popular for recreational use in the 1970s. 79 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,640 Mescaline is the active ingredient in a small cactus 80 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,320 called peyote that causes hallucinations. 81 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,800 Now that's weird. Why would you be giving these 82 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,080 animals drugs that induce hallucinations? 83 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,400 Rystrom and Fogley also showed photos of crude stone altars and 84 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,080 a cow skull found near the animals, insinuating some real 85 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,320 ritualistic aspects to the Bentonville killings. 1 stone 86 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,040 was inscribed with the words zytose. 87 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,720 Wrath is wrath is upon you. Physical anthropologist Jerome 88 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,200 Rose at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, 89 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400 Washington County, claimed the animal sacrifices were an 90 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,320 assistant with somebody trying to practice witchcraft. 91 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,280 Now you almost have to wonder here if we're having some kind 92 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,360 of a copycat, copycat cattle mutilation going on. 93 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,880 UA anthropology professor Paul Hooks was skeptical of the 94 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,400 Satanic connection commonly theorized by the media. 95 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,800 He knew of no active, organized cults in the state. 96 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,760 He proposed, however, that Arkansas may tend to entertain a 97 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,760 Satanic explanation due to the strong Christian fundamentalist 98 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,040 influence throughout the state. Some in the Ozark Mountains 99 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,600 blamed local cattle relations on Momo. 100 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,720 That's AKA the Missouri Monster or Bigfoot, a tall, hairy 101 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,920 creature that supposedly lurks in the Ozarks and leaves behind 102 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,440 a horrible stench. None of these explanations 103 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,040 explain why the cattle were left there with no blood, though, 104 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:23,040 even the satanic cow tippers. In September 1979, Nancy Owen, 105 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,920 an anthropologist at UA, received a grant from the 106 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,680 Arkansas Endowment for Humanities, now Humanities, AR, 107 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,080 to research the state's cattle relations. 108 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,240 Owen concluded that the events were consistent with scavenger 109 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,920 activity. Well, imagine that. 110 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,680 The Washington County Sheriff's Department conducted an 111 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,360 experiment to prove that the reports were consistent with 112 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080 decomposition and scavenger activity. 113 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,720 And the experiment? A local rancher donated a heifer 114 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,400 that was euthanized and placed in a ravine. 115 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,360 Officers watched the corpse and took notes and photographs 116 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,600 showing typical scavenger activity. 117 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,320 After 30 hours, officers recovered the carcass and found 118 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,920 the exact conditions reported mutilations. 119 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,440 They also had proof that only scavengers touched the cow. 120 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,280 Despite this evidence, reports that mutilations across the 121 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,480 state continued well into the 1980s and beyond, including 122 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,440 reports in Berryville, Carroll County and Hope, Hempstead 123 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,520 County. The problem I have with that is 124 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,480 did they test for blood? Was the blood removed from the 125 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,880 carcass? See, this is something we see 126 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520 repeatedly in these types of stories. 127 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,280 They can't explain it, so they kind of do one of these half 128 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,960 hearted replications where they claim that they've replicated 129 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480 the event and really they haven't. 130 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760 And then the article just kind of, you know, finishes up right 131 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,680 there. This is written by Kylie Taylor, 132 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,720 Cole Favor or Arkansas. Well, I did bring out some good 133 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,000 historical facts. I think they just kind of 134 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,960 glossed over some of the real questions that come up here. 135 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,080 I did find this article here from the Daily American 136 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Republic, May 5th, 1978 talking about these. 137 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,160 Mutilated stock may indicate witchcraft in Northwest Arkansas 138 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Mutilated animal carcasses and crude altars found in the woods 139 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,120 of Northwest Arkansas may be evidence of witchcraft 140 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,080 ceremonies and offerings, authorities say. 141 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,600 Now see, this is kind of strange. 142 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,240 It's almost like it feels like someone's trying to create a 143 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,720 secondary narrative here. They've been talking about these 144 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,080 things being witchcraft related for a long time and and then all 145 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,799 of a sudden, lo and behold, you find a satanic altar. 146 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,159 Mutilated animal carcasses and crude altars found in the woods 147 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,799 of northwest Arkansas may be evidence of witchcraft 148 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,880 ceremonies and offerings, authorities say. 149 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:46,080 Between April 8th and May 1st, 5 calves, a cow and a horse work 150 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,480 mysteriously slaughtered in three separate locations by 151 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,920 religious cultists, said Benton County Sheriff's Office. 152 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,120 Now here again, jumping to conclusions, Officials say the 153 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,200 animals were killed in an unusual way but will not 154 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,320 elaborate. So this is not being 155 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,440 transparent. This is not telling people what 156 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,280 we need to know in order to make up our own mind. 157 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,080 This is called narrative control. 158 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,800 They were killed in an unusual way. 159 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,720 We just can't tell you how they were killed because if we told 160 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,560 you how they were killed, then you might ask questions and you 161 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,960 might find out that our theory on how they were killed doesn't 162 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,080 hold water. They say the strange mode of 163 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,040 death is a key to their investigation. 164 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,720 No arrests have been made. Of course, no arrests have ever 165 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,920 been made after the, as far as I know. 166 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,480 After the animals were killed, their eyes and sexual and 167 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,040 internal organs were removed with surgical precision and 168 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,240 their blood was drained and taken away, Sheriff's Don Don 169 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,680 Dyerson said. Really. 170 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,840 So you've got these hillbilly Satan is out there. 171 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,520 Somehow managed to drain all the blood out of that cow without 172 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,760 spilling any of it on the ground and took it all away. 173 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,080 We're talking gallons and gallons. 174 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,920 This. This is just utter nonsense. 2 175 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,160 dead calves were found April 8th on a ranch near the Missouri 176 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,200 border. Three more calves and a cow 177 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,600 believed killed sometime before April 20th were found on a 178 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,440 different property. The slaughtered horse was found 179 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,360 May 1st. During their investigation of 180 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,600 the animal mutilations, officials stumbled across a 181 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,440 flagstone altar in the woods littered with animal skulls and 182 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,040 candles. Symbols painted in white were 183 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,960 emblazoned on the crude altars, and anthropologists consulted 184 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,920 when the ritualistic aspects emerge, called the slayings 185 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,640 witchcraft in the European tradition, you can call it a 186 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,560 religion if you want, said Doctor Jerome Rose, an assistant 187 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:36,720 professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. 188 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,800 It's based on the worship of nature. 189 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,040 Since one of the major aspects of nature is reproduction, their 190 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,360 ceremonies would involve reproduction in a simulated 191 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,640 form. Rose successfully predicted the 192 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,120 May 1st emulation of the horse and further predicted that no 193 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,080 more deaths would occur after May 3rd. 194 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,760 He told the police the ceremonies appeared to be linked 195 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,840 to the vernal equinox and the cycle of planning and 196 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,720 reproduction, and that the influence of the equinox 197 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,360 diminishes by May 3rd. OK, well that's your mouthful 198 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,280 there. It just almost seems like this 199 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,640 is a planted story just tossed in with the rest of this stuff 200 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,480 to add confusion. I mean, if the Sheriff's Office 201 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,560 would be forthcoming and tell us, hey, what exactly happened 202 00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,680 with these things, we might be a little bit more likely to 203 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,000 believe them and believe their theory that these all these 204 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,920 cattle mutilations are somehow tied in with Satanism. 205 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,640 Still doesn't explain how the blood was drained from these 206 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,800 things without spilling any of it on the ground. 207 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,400 So here's this article from the New York Times dated June 30th, 208 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,080 1978, written by John M Kristen, Spatial to the New York Times, 209 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,720 it says. Bentonville, AR June 27th Steve 210 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,480 Ferguson was hauling rocks off Doc Compton's farm on the 211 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,440 outskirts of town when he spotted what looked like some 212 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,440 kind of altar. Native fill stones piled up one 213 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,160 upon the other, peeking through the briar and Bramble amid the 214 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,320 Hickory and Sycamore trees. Well, that sounds to me like 215 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,640 these things are covered up. I mean, if they're covered up 216 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,080 with briar, how could they have been used to sacrifice cattle? 217 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,040 Mr. Ferguson took a closer look, then ran to call the landlord, 218 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,080 Doctor Neil Compton. Together, the two men stood and 219 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,480 stared at the discovery. It was built up like a fireplace 220 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,680 would be, Doctor Compton recalled, And the center was the 221 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:30,920 skull of a cow, and then all around it these rocks had been 222 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,160 painted. The markings on the rocks, which 223 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,760 seemed to him like hieroglyphs or something, made no sense, he 224 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,600 said, but it looked ominous, so he telephoned the Benton County 225 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,760 Sheriff's Department. Then he told Mr. Ferguson to 226 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,200 tear the thing down. The markings on the rocks, which 227 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,160 seemed to him like hieroglyphs or something, made no sense, he 228 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,760 said, But it looked ominous, so he telephoned the Benton County 229 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,840 Sheriff's Department. He then told Mr. Ferguson to 230 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,920 tear the thing down. Sergeant John Green and his 231 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,560 partner, Lieutenant John Rystrom, had been preoccupied 232 00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:08,520 with another bizarre case, a series of animal mutilations in 233 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,560 the Bentonville area. But they went out to look at the 234 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,360 strangely painted rocks anyway. They too came away puzzled. 235 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,840 Now this is signing more and more suspect all the time to me. 236 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,400 And I'm not even sure that this so-called makeshift satanic 237 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,680 altar is related to these cattle mutilations. 238 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,240 A second altar says that was two months ago, and nobody in this 239 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,000 pleasant Ozerite village of 7000 people thought much more about 240 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,680 it. Until a few weeks later, when 241 00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:39,320 Mr. Ferguson, still hauling rocks, found a second altar near 242 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,440 the site of the first. This time the message was clear. 243 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,600 In addition to a plastic human skull, some candles, a large 244 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,400 knife and more of the peculiar symbols someone had left, a 245 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,880 message scrolled in paint and painted white letters. 246 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,680 Sido's wrath is upon you, them, Doctor Compton said, and said 247 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:02,560 the power of the Lord is greater. 248 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,080 Steve wrote a little note back to Steve's. 249 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,560 A very religious fellow. OK? 250 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,240 After examining the second batch of rocks, Sergeant Green said he 251 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,280 thought that he had an idea of what was going on. 252 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:19,320 On a hunt, she asked a bookstore in town to get him a book on 253 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,560 witchcraft and demonology. When it arrived, he found that 254 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,760 it contained 2 items of particular interest. 255 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,760 The first was a copy of the Theban alphabet, the magical 256 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,120 ciphers used by modern riches, whose characters were matched by 257 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,400 some of the symbols on the rocks. 258 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,320 Feeling a bit like the man who discovered the Rosetta Stone, 259 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,640 Sergeant Green translated these strange descriptions into good 260 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,280 and had he also found a reference to an ancient sorcerer 261 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,560 named Xytho. The second discovery was a 262 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,760 chapter recounting some of the superstitions and traditions 263 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,920 that were brought to these Green Mountains by settlers in the 264 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640 last century and have persisted among the hill folk. 265 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,160 These included a strain of witchcraft with an initiation 266 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,400 ceremony wearing a perspective, fires 7 bullets at the moon and 267 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,520 repeats the Lord's Prayer backwards in front of a satanic 268 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,080 altar at midnight. The ceremony, according to the 269 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,920 legend, occurs in the dark phase of the moon, so Sergeant Green 270 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,920 calculated when the next event was likely to occur, and late on 271 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,840 the appointed night, he and Lieutenant Reystrom crept out to 272 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,440 the Compton farm and waited. Nothing happened. 273 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,280 Dubious about connection, Sergeant Green then consulted 274 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,240 Jerome Rose, a professor of physical anthropology at the 275 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,960 University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. 276 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,160 Doctor Rose suggested that the animal mutilations that had been 277 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,040 taking place where, as he put it, the other clay, consistent 278 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,440 with somebody trying to practice witchcraft. 279 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,880 And all four cows and a horse have been killed this year in an 280 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,800 apparently ritualistic fashion that involved cutting out the 281 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,280 eyes, tongues and reproductive organs. 282 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,680 Some of the carcasses were found within 5 miles of Doctor 283 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Compton's farm. OK, well, if you were going to 284 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,200 have to hold these things somewhere to sacrifice them, 285 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,040 what, you want the altar to be near the victims? 286 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,560 So now I guess we're to believe that these animals were 287 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,120 mutilated and then carried up to 5 miles to these satanic altars? 288 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 The Sheriff's Office was dubious about a connection. 289 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,720 So to buttress this point, this point, Dr. Rose consulted some 290 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,640 astrological test and predicted the next mutilation would occur 291 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,200 on the first day of May It did. In the meantime, Dr. Compton was 292 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,200 making arrangements to sell the property to his next door 293 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,040 neighbor. Sam Walton might have heard that 294 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,480 name before. It was not just the altars that 295 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,600 bothered him. Doctor Compton said he had 296 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,800 gotten too old to work the property and there had been 297 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,440 other strange goings on, like the gunfire the neighbors had 298 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,760 been hearing around midnight. The Sheriff's Office remained 299 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,320 puzzled. For one thing, it was unusual in 300 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,320 a small town like Bentonville that no one had come forward 301 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,520 with any information and there were the reports of unidentified 302 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,280 flying objects. So, yeah, we do have UFOs when 303 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,119 these things are being going on, with these mutilations are 304 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760 happening. We had a bunch of those about 305 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,599 the same time this was going on. Lieutenant Rystrom said the land 306 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,119 belongs to Mr. Walton. Now. 307 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,560 Two weeks ago today, 1/3 altar was discovered in the field 308 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,319 where the other two had been found. 309 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,280 I'm glad I don't own it anymore. That's all Doctor Compton had to 310 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,560 say. The New York Times, Mike Tyler, 311 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,600 this is stones found on a farm near the Arkansas bare symbols 312 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,640 of the thebid alphabet used by modern witches. 313 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,280 Yeah, it's kind of one of these things I think we're remembering 314 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,880 that correlation does not apply causation, it seems like. 315 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,720 Yeah, maybe you did have an active cult going on down there 316 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,040 putting up these crazy satanic altars. 317 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:53,680 And yeah, they did have one cattle skull on there. 318 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,520 But as I recall, the cattle mutilation, the mutilated bodies 319 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,040 of the cattle they found all had the heads intact. 320 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,880 They were missing eyes and tongues and all their blood. 321 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,120 But that doesn't explain how a bunch of people engaging in this 322 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,040 Ozark kind of hillbilly satanic sacrifice would have got the 323 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,240 blood out of any of these cattle without spilling any of it. 324 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,240 It's just technology beyond what the normal person's going to 325 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,480 have. If you've ever, if you've ever 326 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,680 feel dressed a deer or, you know, butchered any kind of 327 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,800 animal at all, you'll know that there's just blood all over the 328 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,960 place. And so this doesn't make sense. 329 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,760 I want to finish up with this article from only in Arkansas. 330 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,560 It's onlyinyourstate.com. This is a single craziest thing 331 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,280 you never knew happened in Arkansas. 332 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,800 Of course you've been listening to this program. 333 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,560 You've do know that it happened and it's really quite 334 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,680 unexplainable, says Unusual. Cattle emulations in Arkansas 335 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280 during the summer of 1979 were eventually explaining why 336 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,800 natural causes and common cattle tranquilizers written by Tiffany 337 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,360 Livingston. Of course, we know that's 338 00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:00,800 absolutely not the case. They've got one, they've got one 339 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,000 site where they have found these strange chemicals in an animal's 340 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,200 blood. Still doesn't explain why the 341 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,760 blood was drained from the cattle. 342 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,440 Doesn't explain a lot of things. And and then of course you have 343 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,800 the three satanic alters that were up to 5 miles away from 344 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,840 these various calamulation sites. 345 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,280 And also doesn't make any sense. A string of calamulations in 346 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,560 Arkansas around the summer of 1979 began a wild media frenzy 347 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,920 covering the possible 'cause of the madness, questions started 348 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,280 circling about satanic rituals and possible alien activity. 349 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,880 But the truth may be a let a bit less strange. 350 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,680 So right there, they're trying to set the tone for this false 351 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,640 narrative that they're pushing. I can see that right now. 352 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,400 My opinion As the story continued, people were demanding 353 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,520 A conclusion to these cattle mutilations in Arkansas. 354 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,840 This is a strange tale as what we drive into this strange 355 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,240 history in Arkansas. Be warned, some of the images 356 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,720 and descriptions in the story are graphic in nature. 357 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,520 Something strange was going on with cows all around Arkansas 358 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,400 During the summer of 1979, farmers from various locations 359 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,920 began reporting unusual cattle mutilations. 360 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,840 The story was not new to the state, though. 361 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,400 Just two years before, in the in the autumn of 1977, there were 362 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,840 sporadic accounts of cows being found dead and birchard by 363 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,440 unknown means. From June to September of 1979, 364 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,000 however, the killings increased and sparked a media frenzy. 365 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,840 Every unusual cattle death was reported in local newspapers and 366 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,880 Arkansas authorities took a closer look at what was going 367 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,280 on. By closer look, if you mean an 368 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,640 attempt to control the narrative, then they certainly 369 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,400 did do that. Before the summer began, 370 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,920 investigators discovered that drugs, including mescaline and 371 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,720 PCP, were detected in the blood of cows who appeared to be 372 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,640 killed in a ritual. Investigators also determined 373 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,000 that the deaths all happened near water. 374 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,400 Now, they've done something here I think is possibly some pretty 375 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,600 sloppy reporting detected in the blood of cows. 376 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,760 And I do not believe that all of these cows that were found 377 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,040 mutilated had these, this PCP of mescaline in the blood. 378 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,600 I think that was just one case. And if it's not, they need to, 379 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,360 they need to show us the receipts that goes on down here. 380 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:15,240 It says the mutilations before and after the summer were said 381 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,440 to have been conducted with expert medical precision, much 382 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,480 like that of a surgeon. Very little blood evidence was 383 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,120 able to be collected at the crime scenes, which was highly 384 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:26,200 unusual for such gruesome killings. 385 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,160 The kind of just gloss over that. 386 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,080 You think this thing's got what, between 5 and 10 gallons of 387 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,760 blood in it? You're not going to kill one of 388 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,200 these things and drain all the blood out without spilling some 389 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,200 of it on the ground. This is Arkansas residents and 390 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,120 even some authorities began to speculate about satanic worship 391 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:45,800 and aliens being involved with these strange cases. 392 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,000 After all, UFO sightings in Arkansas have happened before 393 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,800 and there were no concrete ties to visitors from another planet 394 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,960 being involved. Well, they certainly had a UFO 395 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,920 sightings around the time of these things. 396 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,760 By October 1979, the theories about alien visitors and satanic 397 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,200 ritual killings were debunked by local investigators. 398 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,320 This is just simply not true. I mean, that's a false 399 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,600 statement. They might have refuted the 400 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,680 theories, but they absolutely did not debunk them. 401 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,800 An experiment had been conducted a month before and a cow was put 402 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,280 to death by tranquilizers and a location much like where the 403 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,600 cattle mutilations took place. The carcass was kept under 404 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,480 surveillance for 18 hours. By noon the following day, flies 405 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,480 and buzzards had eaten away the soft tissue of the carcass, and 406 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,520 its state was very similar to that of the mutilated cattle 407 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,680 found in the months prior to the experiment. 408 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,080 Now that they leave out one huge fact, though, what happened to 409 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,320 the blood? So this, this is very deceptive, 410 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080 what they've done here. The most plausible explanation 411 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,960 behind the dead kettle would be severe weather. 412 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,920 Now, here's another false assumption. 413 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,040 This is some really shoddy reporting. 414 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,040 A terrible This is a shoddy reporting masquerading as 415 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,320 investigative reporting. From what I can see. 416 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,880 Lightning, to be more specific, strikes and kills a cow standing 417 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,640 near the water. The body is cauterized as a 418 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,200 result, and scavenger insects and birds would be responsible 419 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,000 for eating away the soft flesh with natural precision. 420 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,360 Why? There's some big jumps there. 421 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,400 We don't know how close to the water all these things are, and 422 00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:30,120 just because something is near the water doesn't mean that it's 423 00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:33,960 going to be hit by lightning. The drugs found in what little 424 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,800 blood evidence was taken can be explained too. 425 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,880 Fenocycline, or PCP is a common cattle tranquilizer that would 426 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,240 be used in the event of severe weather. 427 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,720 What in the world are you talking about? 428 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,360 The chemical compounds in mescaline are resembled in 429 00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:50,720 nature, and it's not unusual for grazing cows to eat mushrooms. 430 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,680 Thankfully, there's a less disturbing explanation for these 431 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,480 strange situations. Wow. 432 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,600 I mean, really? That's considered a theory for 433 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,800 what's happened. This is we've gotten, we've gone 434 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,880 clear into crazy time here. The brutality of nature is quite 435 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,840 jarring at times. These cattle mutilations in 436 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Arkansas are no exception. But as strange as it is to have 437 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,880 so many of them dying in a short time, we do have answers now. 438 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,800 The real question still remains, do you believe these plausible 439 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,360 answers or is something far more sinister? 440 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,520 Well, to me, these these causes are not plausible. 441 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,080 They're the opposite of plausible. 442 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,800 OK, happening under the the cover darkness. 443 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,360 This coverage from the sci-fi channel show may help to shine 444 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,560 light on this historical context. 445 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,640 And it's got a little video links to wow. 446 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:48,400 This kind of gives you the range of media and talking about these 447 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,640 cattle mutilations that happened to the Ozarks. 448 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,040 I mean, you have the facts and the animals are there. 449 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,000 The blood's been drained, the eyes cut out, the tongue's cut 450 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,840 out. Just ritualistic mutilation, it 451 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,000 seems the blood drained and no blood on the ground. 452 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,320 Animals just seem to, they seem, I mean by all common sense, it 453 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,240 seems like they've just been picked up, taken somewhere. 454 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,760 Had the blood drained out, had all these terrible things done 455 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,320 to them and they just dropped back somewhere near where they 456 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,040 were at. That's what it looks like. 457 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,280 That's, that's a common sense explanation. 458 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:22,640 And then you have of course people get upset about that 459 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,920 prospect. So then you have the sheriff 460 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,600 comes along and says, well, turns out we found some satanic 461 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,280 ulcers, you know, somewhere between 1:00 to 5:00 miles away. 462 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,040 So are there any cow parts around them? 463 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,200 Well, there's one cow head. But here's the problem. 464 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,480 Was there any blood on those altars? 465 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,920 Because why build an altar 5 miles from where you killed the 466 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,120 cow? If the cows being sacrificed, 467 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:55,880 why is it being left where it was dropped off dead at? 468 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,680 Are they burning up the eyes there? 469 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:01,480 I don't know. Was there any? 470 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,240 Was there any kind of evidence that there been charred remains 471 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,800 there? Didn't talk about it. 472 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,320 So you see they take 2 completely unrelated things. 473 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,000 So far it appears unrelated and tie them into this homespun 474 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,880 narrative. And then later on, of course, 475 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,040 this is 1979 and then later on you have people like the the 476 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,640 author of this last article putting forth what I would 477 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,240 consider just preposterous theories that these cows are 478 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,840 eating mushrooms. And This is why the PCP shows 479 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,280 up. And Oh well, of course they had 480 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,800 set is in their in their systems because it was lightning out. 481 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:45,520 So farmers are running out and giving their cattle sedatives. 482 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,880 Every time it lightnings news to me, you have to ask yourself at 483 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:56,240 some point, why do people go to such an extent to create these 484 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,120 false narratives to explain what can't be explained? 485 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,720 Why can't they just say, wow, this is strange. 486 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,880 This this cattle was found mutilated, which, OK, possibly 487 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,800 the critters came along and ate out the eyes and tongue, but 488 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,680 where's the blood? Where are the gallons and 489 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,560 gallons of blood at? Anybody's ever skinned a deer 490 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,600 knows that you're not going to field dress that animal without 491 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,800 having some blood on the ground. All right? 492 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,520 That's just a kill site. If you're tracking wild animals 493 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,880 and there's a big predator in the area, you can tell because 494 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,320 they leave kill sites. And that means the blood is 495 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,920 saturated with ground where the animals taken down at really 496 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,680 wild stuff. Well, I think it just goes to 497 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,840 show the more things change, the more they stay the same. 498 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,920 We have a certain group of people that are able to just be 499 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,760 mentally OK with understanding that there's certain things that 500 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,320 we can't understand. And that thought of a UFO coming 501 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,640 down and snatching up one of these cows and mutilating it and 502 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,960 dropping it back off where where it picked it up from makes a lot 503 00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:04,240 more sense than the cow falling over dead from eating mushrooms 504 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,920 or being dispatched by the local hillbilly Satanic Cow Tipper 505 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,760 Association, which by the way, takes all the blood and carts it 506 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,320 off, but doesn't leave a single drop there on the ground. 507 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,640 It's kind of knock and raise them. 508 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,960 The most simple explanation is usually the correct one. 509 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,920 And right now, to me, the most simple explanation for these 510 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,760 things is some kind of alien abduction of these animals. 511 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,720 They're taking on board of crafts somewhere where they are 512 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,840 mutilated, and they return to somewhere in the vicinity of 513 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,280 where they were snatched up. That's what makes the most 514 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,760 sense, and no amount of creating parallel narratives will ever 515 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,040 convince me otherwise. Until next time, this is your 516 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,600 point. Warning over and out.
