You may have heard about the novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle, 'The Hound of The Baskervilles'. This book was inspired after Doyle visited the misty moors of Dartmoor...the spookiest place in the world. If you are not from the UK and you ever visit...Dartmoor is a must place to see!
News articles of occultism on Dartmoor, UK together with the thick mist and large buzzards wheeling above, is enough to send people scattering - without stumbling across the many Kistvaens (Bronze Age burial chambers above ground) dotted around the landscape.
Below are the Kistvaens: Pic from: http://legendarydartmoor.co.uk
My brother lives in Dartmoor and often walks his dogs on the moors, this is how I came to know it.
Dartmoor comprises a hefty chunk (368 square miles) of the South Devon countryside. High rolling hills - intermittent granite rock formations (tors) - intense westerly breezes and heavy mist give the terrain a very sinister feel. But more importantly...Dartmoor is a place where occultism is rife. There are still police reports of mutilated animals found and left in a sacrificial manner. The farmers continually refer to occultism as being the main reason for this.
Here are two news articles about the sacrifices, thought to have been carried out because of occultism in Dartmoor, UK: "I GIVE A PG CAUTION HERE TO YOUNGER READERS."
"In October 2005, farmer Daniel Alford of Sampford Spiney, near Tavistock, Devon, England made a shocking discovery on the wilds of Dartmoor: namely, six sheep, horrifically slaughtered, with their eyeballs removed and their necks viciously broken. More sinister is the fact that the corpses of the animals had been deliberately laid out in the form of a Pagan symbol near a series of ancient standing-stones.
Alford was convinced that this was the work of occultists - primarily because this was not the first occasion upon which he had made such a gruesome find. In January 2005, he had stumbled upon five sheep, killed in a similar fashion and spread out in a circle, only half a mile away. Interestingly, on both occasions the animal attacks had occurred at the height of a full moon.
Alford said at the time: "This was a sacrifice - they had their necks broken. Initially, when you think of sacrifices you think sharp knives and slit throats. That wasn't the case here. If they had killed them and taken them, I would have accepted it more. Just to outright kill them and leave them is just a waste."
As Alford perceptively noted: "You wouldn't just get kids catching sheep like that. Someone's got to know what they're on about." Alford was not wrong: somebody most definitely did know what they were doing, and the attacks were set to continue.
In late June 2006, yet more strange sacrifices of sheep on Dartmoor occurred, again near Tavistock, and specifically on moorland at a location called Pork Hill (pic just below title above. If that isn't the spookiest place in the world, then i'd like to see a landscape that looks more intimidating).
Once more, the necks of the animals had been broken, and their eyes had been taken. This time, however, the tongues of the animals had also been removed.
RSPCA [The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals] Inspector Becky Wadey commented: "These sheep must have been rounded up on the open moor by whoever carried out this barbaric attack. That would have required a number of people and potentially been quite a spectacle."

ARTICLE TWO from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-401380/Occultists-slaughter-sheep-Prince-Charless-estate.html
Sheep have been mutilated and slaughtered in what appears to be bizarre occult rituals on land owned by Prince Charles.
In some cases, the butchered animals have had their eyes removed and their carcasses arranged into a satanic star.
A bloodstained stone altar and wooden stake have been discovered by local farmers.
Police are now investigating the killings near Princetown, Devon, part of the Duchy of Cornwall's 69,000-acre Dartmoor estate.
Officers are examining whether the attacks form part of a ritual fantasy triggered by phases of the Moon.
Since the attacks began last year (*I add* -on his estate), more than 20 ewes and rams have been strangled and some have had eyes, tongues or sex-organs cut out.
Three incidents in the past two months all happened on nights with either new or full moons. And RSPCA officers are investigating a dead sheep found last week which had a half-moon symbol carved into its flesh.
Carcasses are often laid in lines near gateways or, in one incident, were arranged as a seven-pointed star.
Farmer Chris Cole, 49, who has lost two sheep, said: "It's really unnerving. We don't know who is behind this and where it might lead."
Another farmer, who has had 12 sheep killed, said: "People are getting scared. If this cult can kill and mutilate sheep, what might they do to us?'
The farmer, who would not be identified for fear of reprisals, added: "We believe they are linked to the Roman god Janus, the god of gateways. Dead sheep are often left in front of a gate - their heads twisted back as though looking through it."
The Duchy of Cornwall last year generated lb14million to help finance Prince Charles's public and private life. The Prince takes a keen interest in its moorland farms and is expected to be personally briefed on the attacks.
The area includes one of Dartmoor's most important Bronze Age sites - the Merrivale stone circle and ritual complex - which local legends describe as the "Gateway of the Dead" and one of the spookiest places in the world.
Princetown beat officer PC David Pickles said the attacks were being treated as "criminal damage with a ritual motive". (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-401380/Occultists-slaughter-sheep-Prince-Charless-estate.html)
