‘The cat was discovered by a team of ladies on Monday. They were being coming in to clean up the church for Xmas but located it on the flagpole. It was seriously upsetting for them.

‘Every so usually we get matters like this occurring. It can make everybody sense very not comfortable.

‘I can’t say definitively if it is connected to the sheep killings from a number of years in the past. We have no idea what motivated this. 

‘Are they just offended at daily life in common, or in opposition to the church, or is it connected to witchcraft? I are unable to say.

‘But the sheep killings were being considerably a lot more refined. The useless fox felt a ton significantly less organised. It’s seriously unsettling and sinister for everybody. We are not certain what will come about next, if anything at all.

‘I have no concept why it is happening in our location. If it is related to witchcraft, then the New Forest has been linked to witchcraft for hundreds of several years.

‘But it could just be random functions of nastiness. It really is all rather terrible for these who obtain the lifeless animals.’

A Hampshire Law enforcement spokesman reported: ‘We acquired a report of meat located on the best of Stagbury Hill with candles positioned in a circle all-around it. This was spotted by members of the community at all around 7.45am on 13 January.
