Ominous Killing

Wiltshire, Newbury

It’s Monday the Halloween week and things cannot get any spookier. When the whole town is getting ready to celebrate the most haunted night of the year, we bring you the most disturbing news, an unidentified body was found in the Corn Maze which was being set up for the Halloween Night.

On Oct 24, Friday Night, few kids staying a block away from the Maze decided to raid it when they came across the body. Assuming it a relic kept by the town members to keep the kids away from the Maze, they tried to move it out of their way, but when looked in closely, realized it to be real. The kids’ family informed the Wiltshire Police Department (WPD) immediately.

The WPD have sealed down the Maze and seems like it won’t be open for the public to relish this year. The Authorities are not yet ready to disclose if this has been an accident or a murder and neither have circulated the photo of the victim. The Authorities have requested the family members to keep this to themselves. However, our undisclosed source informed us that this unfortunate event was indeed a murder and not a suicide or accident. Furthermore the body had strange claw marks on its chest and face leaving the body unidentified.

This seems to be strange as there hasn’t been any bear or wolf sighting in the area. Having said that, Wiltshire isn’t new to such ominous happenings- The Mason family tragedy where they found their 7year daughter drowned in the barrel of water outside their house or Gauzeman incident where the teacher was found dead on the school grounds with strange marks on his neck. Both of these incidents were closed after being classified as an accident and a suicide respectively. This makes us wonder if this recent incident would be met with the same fate.

We are forced to question the integrity and seriousness of WPD as they have still kept it under wraps. We ask nothing but the people of Wiltshire to be vigilant and report any strange incidents to the Authorities and us so we can keep the town updated.

STAY SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN
