In the tranquil neighborhood of Powell River, BC, a series of events unfolded that could easily be a part of an eerie folk tale. Under the shroud of night, a group of scantily clad figures was caught on security footage partaking in a bizarre midnight feast. The primary item on the menu? A deer carcass. The peculiar part? These figures were practically naked, with very little fabric on them. Their behavior is leading others to dub them ‘witches’ by the local and online community.1
The Security Footage
A local resident, Corinea Stanhope’s state-of-the-art security system captured an extraordinary sight: scantily clad figures dressed in essentially nothing, feasting on a deer carcass. Their otherworldly appearance and their nocturnal activities immediately made one think of witches from fairy tales, albeit ones with a more modern and provocative dress code.
The figures emerged from the shadows at the property’s edge around ten minutes after sunset. The security footage shows them around the dead deer in what appear to be wigs and consume part of the animal. The high-resolution camera recorded the entire event before the mysterious figures disappeared into the night as silently as they had appeared.

Community Reaction: Shock and Speculation
The unearthly footage rapidly circulated on local social media platforms, inciting a blend of disbelief, apprehension, and intrigue among the community members. Many dismissed it as an elaborate hoax, while others were deeply concerned about potential occult or demonic activities.
Despite the escalating concerns, the local authorities were not called in. The ‘witches’ left no tangible evidence behind and technically didn’t do anything illegal, which only furthered the enigma. The deer carcass had been found in Stanhope’s garden originally, and the surveillance footage was to see if any interesting animals would take notice of the free meal. The choice of this carcass for a witch’s midnight feast added more layers to the mystery, making it even more difficult to discern their identity and intentions.
This event encourages residents to stay alert and promptly report any suspicious activities in their neighborhoods. Matters like these should be taken very seriously, despite the absence of any criminal behavior.

Witches: a Prank, or an Uncanny Social Experiment?
The hypothesis that these figures might indeed be ‘witches’ has gained some traction among local residents. However, some skeptics dismiss this as a prank executed by thrill-seekers. Others suggest it might be an audacious social experiment designed to gauge community response. Critics often point out that the lack of sound in the footage and the exaggerated behavior of the ‘witches‘ align more with a staged act than a genuine occult ritual. But there are some who believe these are “skin walkers”, “wendigos” or even “a walking demon from Hell”.
Regardless of the differing perspectives, the event has significantly disturbed the peace of the previously quiet suburb, transforming it into a hub of whispered stories and conspiracy theories. The identities and motives of these people remain elusive, and the midnight footage has grown into a suburban legend in its own right.
This peculiar incident serves as a stark reminder of the strange and unpredictable times we live in. The mystery of the scantily clad ‘witches’ and their midnight feast continues to captivate the public, inscribing an intriguing episode in the annals of British Columbia’s suburban folklore.
At present, nothing more is taking place. Whether the ultimate truth will prove to be as bizarre as the footage itself is yet to be seen. But one thing is certain: the residents of this suburban neighborhood will not forget their unexpected encounter with the ‘witches’ anytime soon.
As more and more residents view the footage and add their interpretations, the suburb remains in a state of heightened alert and curiosity. The mystery continues to grow until the ‘witches’ are identified or when they return for another midnight feast.
