Can someone explain what my son saw?

My DS (14) and his friends went for a walk deep in the woods yesterday. They came across four people standing in a circle with candles and markings on the ground. Two were dressed in all black, very smart, like priests. The other two were in normal clothes and were bleeding from their arms. My son said he saw them cut themselves, they were mumbling something inaudible while the two in all black held their arms in the air and chanted. When they realised they were being watched one of the people in black told the boys they were going to cut their heads off if they don’t leave. I know it’s true because one of the kids filmed it and I’ve watched it. Wtf!?

@hoodathunkit They were very close to them. The people being filmed were very loud so didn’t notice them at first. The boys tried to move behind a bush which is when they were discovered and the video ends. It wasn’t a very long video to start with (about 30 seconds before I edited it) It all happened quite quickly. They were threatened after filming.

I have absolutely no idea, but your insistence that it's just a different POV when I'm talking homophobia, child drugging & grooming, multiple rape & murder, doesn't sound so great tbh

I've not once mentioned any of those things being OK, simply pointed out that as far as your neighbour is concerned he's doing nothing wrong. I didnt say I don't find it wrong.

hoodathunkit · 18/10/2021 11:28

They were very close to them.

Thank you for the confimration

The people being filmed were very loud so didn’t notice them at first.

This seems difficult to believe to me. The reason is that the boys are filming from what can be clearly seen as a sparsely wooded environment with lots of light and good visibility.

There is no buch or hedge to be seen in the video

Importantly the robed people are stading in a cirlce (or square - there are 4 of them yes?). The implications of this are that, providing they all have reasonable vision, the group would notice anyone observing them from a fair distance. It is very difficult to imagine how the boys filming could have gotten sufficiently close to film them before being discovered.

The boys tried to move behind a bush which is when they were discovered and the video ends.

This doesn't make sense to me as they are already almost on top of the robed people, in good visibility. Why, if they had not been discovered at that point, would they try to find a bush to hide behind?

Interested in this thread?

@hoodathunkit They snuck up to them slowly and quietly, started filming, they went to move behind a bush and were discovered. I’m not sure what’s so difficult to understand? That’s what happened. The girl facing them had her eyes closed. Like I said, this all happened really quickly. It’s not like they were sitting there undiscovered for ages, they got caught within 30 seconds.

I think you are being played OP, either by your DS or by the 'worshipers'. As hoodathunkit says they are far too close and they'd definitely hear your DS approaching.
The mere fact they got so close to the 'ritual' is proof that it's not real.
I reckon it's a TikTok video either by your DS or the ritual participants.

HereForThis · 18/10/2021 11:44

Haven't watched the video because I don't want to

lol

Grin

@hoodathunkit Thanks for the information. It seems they were close, as OP has confirmed - you were right.

Still not sure about the other as I could see how it would have all happened so quickly but you could be right too. I also see your point. All that happening during the day in what seems like a fairly open space and all.

hoodathunkit · 18/10/2021 11:55

It is the internet and anyone can post or upload anything and claim that it is evidence of all manner of things.

Those familiar with the Qanon and Pizzagate hoaxes (and the multiple other satanic panic related hoaxes) will understand that

a) Hoaxes and collective hysteria / moral panics relating to accusations of ritual murders and infanticide linked to devil worship / satanism have existed for hundreds if not thousands of years. They have probably existed since humanity crawled out of caves.

b) Pogroms and other atrocities have resulted from these panics and sometimes such panics have likely been carefully crafted by sinister actors with ulterior motives. Land grabs, massive pilfering of property, unjustified wars and genocidal aspiratrions are well documented motivations for the creation of such hoaxes throughout history.

c) The world is in a very dangerous state at the moment. The connections between certain state actors involvement in such hoaxes for political purposes have been well documented.

d) It is always inportant to report threats and violent actions, especially against minors, to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. However we should be cautious not to contribute to the current delicate situation in which hoaxes relating to satanic cults are a central theme of political jujitsu, endagering our democacies on a global basis.

e) There are extremely dangerous cults, all over the world, that engage in criminality. One example is the worldwide cult of mental health professionals who promote satanic ritual abuse conspiracy theories. There are many others. There are others. What is important, in dealing with such cults is for victims to report concern to the police. I understand, from bitter personal experice, that the police do not always take reports seriously. However if enough people report then it will eventually have an effect.

That wasn't clear to me & I'm pleased to here that

Yes of course our neighbour thinks he does nothing wrong

A friends husband who was jailed for using his "high priest" status & "dark arts" to lure in, drug & rape young girls didn't think he was doing anything wrong either. Unfortunately people who are that way inclined always think they are in the right & find ways to justify their behaviour

Thankfully the law says otherwise in both counts

🤣

Sorry, carry on…

@TatianaBis

Surely you know about Qanon and Pizzagate?

Conspiracy theories claiming that satanic paedophile rings including Hilary Clinton kidnap, sexually abuse, ritually murder and drink the blood of babies?

Donald Trump is apparently a superhero activist against Hilary Clinton and her baby munching friends and he is on a secret mission to save the children from Hilary et al?

Qanon was a significant motivator in the capitol riots

You're welcome

WitchesInTheWoods · 18/10/2021 12:32

@SatsumaPumpkinFace feel free to search TikTok, or anywhere else for that matter. The boys were curious and perhaps a little brazen because they thought it was just a group of people hanging out in the woods. They didn’t realise what was happening at first. They’re now all a bit frightened and shaken up. They really had no idea what they were looking at until they got very close.

A ruthless grifter who is currently exposing how Boris Johnson, the Queen, the late Prince Philip and various other VIPs are blood drinking satanic paedophiles

She also claims that the Royal family are lizards

The scary thing is that she has a crowd of deluded impressionable people following her around and believing her every word

Now that's nuts.

In America

We're talking about a wood near Hastings.

Fair enough if it's not your DS messing about but how do you know the 'worshippers' or whatever they are, were not setting it up for a TikTok video? Have you searched TikTok/YouTube/Instagram or wherever to see if they're laughing at your DS and his friends for their reactions to the 'ritual'??
It's all a bit convenient wouldn't you say?

Various locations in London close enough for you?

All of these videos are less than a year old

Supreme court, outside Buckingham Palce, outside the BBC, this mob gets around

notafriggingain · 18/10/2021 13:00

I hope that the police take this seriously. Threatening children with beheading alone is disgusting never mind what they're up to.

ANameChangeAgain · 18/10/2021 13:01

@JesusInTheCabbageVan
I'm doing a really ugly cry laugh at this brilliant comment!
This is a parenting forum populated largely by frazzled, middle class premenopausal women. We've been excitedly arguing about a second hand changing bag in a charity shop for several weeks now. The chances of any of us having insider knowledge of satanic forest rituals are quite slim, tbh.

SoupDragon · 18/10/2021 13:08

So people really think "we'll cut your heads off" was a serious threat? Especially in the absence of anything remotely likely to be capable of the job.

HerRoyalWitchyness · 18/10/2021 13:11

You know what this site is like. People get into a tizzy about the smallest of things so of course they thought the threat was legit.

WarriorN · 18/10/2021 13:17

Not much to say but I'd report to the police ASAP and Hoodathunkit is very hot on all this stuff.
