[Report]
Drag marks in the leaves and mud led Ohio hunter Earl Gunthrey to this bizarre scene in 1959. He found the young, still unidentified female victim dead, pale and withered; as if (in his own words) “something had drank her dry.” Her arms were embedded deeply into the soft earth beneath her and pinned back at an extreme angle. Her face was turned away and contorted, as if in pain or terror. Arriving first, a local photographer aiding the police took one quick shot before an overwhelming sense of dread drove him back to the gravel road where he had parked. State police arrived several minutes later but when they returned to the scene the body was gone. Pareidolia is certainly in play, but one can’t help but see in the bushes behind this poor woman some demonic mirror of whatever it was that took her.
