A woman is convinced that pictures from her security shows two 'witches' taking part in a carcass-eating 'ritual' in the dead of night, just yards outside her home.
Corinea Stanhope, 36, from Powell River, Canada, found a dead deer at the bottom of her garden, while riding one of her horses, and decided to set up a trail camera to see if it would attract any animals during the night.
What Stanhope saw instead will send shivers down your spine.

She couldn't believe her eyes when her and grandad Bob, 76, watched the footage the next day and saw two mysterious figures around the corpse.
The images from the security camera appears to show the two figures with long, matted, black hair wearing only a piece of cloth to cover their buttocks while they stand over the dead deer.
With their hair covering their faces, the figures appear to squat down and reach over to the carcass with long fingers before picking up a hoof and taking a bite.
"I came the next day and grandpa said he'd got naked people on the camera and I said, 'No you didn't. Bullsh*t' so he showed me," Stanhope said about the moment her grandad told her about the footage.
"I don't know what the heck was up with that. It really freaked us out, it's not something you see every day.
"They came ten minutes after sunset. They looked dishevelled. It looks like they have wigs on. One looks like she has blonde hair underneath."
The mum-of-three says she was left understandably terrified because her house is only a two-minute walk from where the two women were spotted lurking.
"You can't really tell from the photos but the hoof was brought right up to her mouth," she explained.
"I don't know if she was kissing it, smelling or eating it but to touch a decaying carcass like that makes me feel sick. The amount of bacteria that must have been on there.
"Maybe they were paying their respects but they were naked.
"It really creeped me out because it's only a two-minute walk from our house and I was concerned about them messing with my horses at night."
After sharing the unsettling images online last week, the wildlife enthusiast and nurse was inundated with comments from petrified social media users who urged her to 'call the cops' and suggested they were witches, 'walking demons' or even evil mythological creatures known as wendigos.
"This is actually terrifying," one social media user replied.
Another said: "That's a skinwalker, they look 'human' so you come up to them and once you do you're gone.
A third commenter wrote: "I’d say wendigo. Stay safe please, and don’t go out alone."
"There's rumours around town about a cult that collects animal bones," Stanhope shared. "I don't know if it's real or not."
Stanhope says she was tempted to contact the police but Bob pointed out that they weren't doing anything illegal and she hopes that some passersby spotted the camera and decided to play a prank.
