Local Man claims he saw “Wolves made of Smoke”

At 2am, the moon shining brightly with a cloudless sky in May, Leroy Perry knocked at the door of my house in a frenzy. His hair was slightly messy, his clothes slightly torn, a claw mark on his chest, blood dripping and staining the clothes and his jeans. He had a scent of cigarettes and freshly cut grass. 

He was promptly rushed to the hospital, after all I don’t want the house share’s front doormat getting stained with his blood. I’ll admit it was quite peculiar, I wasn’t even sure why he was awake at this hour.

It’s been a couple days since and Leroy has awoken. He called me to the bedside and told me what happened. How he had ended up in such a state that he was near death on my doorstep on that night.

The following is a slightly paraphrased version of what he claims are the events of May the 25th 2023.

It was 1am, he was sitting on the hill by the trees at Armley Park, his coat under him, and a can of Coors in his hand looking at the sky. It was a dark grey as it morphed from noon to night. The moon shone a luminescent white in the centre of the sky.

He took a sip of his beer can, and laid down to watch as the stars came out one by one.

The stench of alcohol was laced on his breath, and clearly it had caught the attention of some local wildlife. He laid there, in a relaxed trance, as there was a rustle from the woods behind him.

A scent of a bonfire, or perhaps a burnt out cigarette, clashed with the odour coming from his breath. He sat up, perhaps thinking of moving in case he had disturbed a fox’s den.

He turned around, facing the wilderness, and – illuminated by the moon – was a Wolf, a smokey grey colour with luminous yellow eyes. The light seemed to go through it, you could still make out the shrubbery directly behind it. The smoke moved, but stayed in the shape that resembled a wolf. 

The yellow eyes widened, and stared directly at Leroy.

He started to back away, and it pounced going through his chest and pushing Leroy to the ground. 

A gaping 3 claw cut was slashed across his chest, ripping his clothes and leaving him bleeding out on the hill.

He stumbled down the hill and out onto the streets of Leeds. He clutched his chest and made his way to the nearest house where he knew someone, which just so happened to be Aiden Foxx’s (mine), and you know the story from there.

The side effects of this attack still aren’t known but if anything comes up I will inform you readers.

The “Hunters” Internet Cult

Cults are nasty business, and getting into one is easier than the casual observer may think. They involve drugs, trafficking, exploitation of minors, and suicide pacts.

Many people are aware of cults such as Aum Shinrikyo, People’s Temple and Heaven’s Gate which are run by people who want power and control. People who wish to control a group, and give them a set of beliefs. They have disturbing rituals and practices which the members believe are normal as that is what they’ve become accustomed to.

This story, however, begins on 4chan.

4chan is a place known for toxicity, racism and adult content. The users are mostly lonely people who are terminally online (a phrase referring to someone closely engaged with Internet culture) and therefore easy to manipulate.

On the 7th of March 2020, multiple posts were made on 4chan to various message boards. They have been found on “Video Games”, “Weapons”, “History & Humanities”, “LGBT” and “Very Important Posts”. There are slight variations, however the image below is the message found on /v/.

This was the beginning of a further mystery.

This is how they started recruiting.

Both the poster and the cult owner are unknown, but they call themselves “Hestia” – the Goddess of Domestic Life, Home and Hearth¹. Their identity is still unknown but it is presumed that as of present day they are dead or replaced. The significance of this name is likely the feeling they wanted to give off rather than them actually being a Greek God.

On the server were displays of a madman. Discussions of murders and sacrifices were common, with an entire text channel dedicated to finding targets. All that was needed was a name, date of birth and a reason, the latter of which is never fact checked.

Multiple ex-members have come forward with statements. They claimed to witness the “use of wizardry”, descriptions which could only be either the use of Visual Effects or the powers of a God. Sacrifices are made, displays of severe violence are recorded and meetings between members are held weekly.

I have seen no confirmed murders, however many mentioned in the “hitlist” text channel have missing posters and have not been found.

I’ve seen theories online suggesting that perhaps it is some ARG or online puzzle game but that would be a harmful misconception. There is no puzzle to this group. 

As of present, the group is estimated to have 517 members, most recruited from the popular game “VR Chat”, and mainly composed of those aged 12 to 19, with few above that age range. I believe this is because children are the most easily manipulated.

The claims of the cult such as their number of kills and member count are difficult to confirm however what we can confirm is the strange rituals they partake in. Members were given paid tickets to fly to Greece, and stayed in local hotels when invited to participate. 

They have been seen patrolling the Vikos National Park, Greece, with shotguns and fire torches. Ex-members have claimed they partook in cannibalism on the 17th day each month which they originally were told was bison, and they would “ascend” members by gathering atop Mount Olympus. They said during ascension the eyes would “glow like the sun was ingrained in their skulls”, and they would “float upwards” as the group sang hymns in latin.

Any updates on this group’s activities will be posted on this site, certain footage isn’t allowed to be posted due to concerns from authorities.

The New “Nicolet High School”

Article by AFoxWithAKeyboard

Written: 13th August 2022

A forest presumed to be haunted is perhaps the last place you would expect to find a school, however this isn’t the case for the Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin, USA.

The school opened some time within the past few weeks, with no permit authorising its construction. No scaffolding or construction of any kind was witnessed by wanderers or park rangers and it has proved quite difficult to navigate to.

It goes a mile off the marked paths and seems more as if it was messily placed in a shrouded area of trees rather than built due to the short time it took to appear.

The school has a metal fence surrounding, similar to that of a prison meant to protect those outside its walls. It’s constructed similarly to a run-down British primary school but slightly larger and more threatening. I doubt any child would set foot inside but then again I don’t see the world through the eyes of a 10 year old.

The school has a sign proudly placed in front of the metal bars proclaiming that they are “The Highest Rated High School in Wisconsin”. Because the school currently has no pupils this is bogus and a fraudulent attempt for students to enrol.

I asked my assistant Tye to monitor the building and he has some outlandish claims.

First off,  he mentioned how there were “12 slender figures in suits with tentacles”. Perhaps that is his unflattering way of describing white Americans. The “Playground” is a glorified cage with a basketball hoop and a wooden bench which “seems only big enough for 4 children.”

The rooms within are what make me the most fearful.

Most seem bland, the walls painted an off-white with a few tables and chairs. At the front of each, a blackboard with chalk. A whiteboard and pens would’ve been more appropriate given the times but it isn’t a major issue.

What shocked me however, was Tye’s description of what he called a “surgeons home”. He does exaggerate often but from the fear in his voice over the phone I think that this is mostly accurate. There was a table with tools spread across it, laced in blood and uncleaned. If it had a hygiene rating it would be lower than 0.

There was a plastic operation table, with a gas mask (presumably for anaesthetics). To the side, by the refrigerator, were mini coolers that looked more like bland lunch boxes. I wish for the best when this school opens in the coming weeks, and I pray my fears aren’t confirmed.

Dear readers, keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious activity in the Nicolet Forest area.
