There have been reports deer have been found with their ears removed and sheep have had organs taken out.
Paranormal investigations are about to begin in an East Yorkshire village after speculation animals were found with their ears cut off and their organs removed with “laser precision”.
Reports have been made over the past few weeks of deer found in Bempton with their ears removed but no other explanation as to their death, with "no blood" found at the scene.
It is also believed sheep have been found with some of their internal organs removed with expert butchery skills, but again with no blood found.
One man is now on a mission to get to the bottom of what has been happening in the area including Bempton and nearby Flixton, as he believes it is a signal of paranormal or extra-terrestrial activity.
Mark Vernon, who has been investigating the paranormal for decades, said: “Farmers have been losing a lot of animals recently, some with their organs and precise patches of skin removed.
“I will be visiting these killing fields this week and looking at the woodlands, and I believe there is also an underground bunker which I want to investigate.
“I want to entice whatever it is out, and capture it on film. Bempton is a known UFO hotspot anyway, and while I deal mainly in ghosts, I want to help get rid of whatever is mutilating the animals.
“I don’t believe in werewolves, but this is certainly something akin to the mutilations in America that have been linked to UFOs.”
Hailing from Wakefield, Mark says he saw his first ghost at the age of 10, when he was in the grounds of a dilapidated manor house and watched as a monk took his dog for a walk, before they faded into nothingness.
He has since investigated the likes of Hull’s Annison Funeral Parlour and 30 East Drive in Pontefract.
Eight years ago, Mark was cleansing a family home when he captured an unknown figure walking through the wall of the cellar.
Mark spent the next six years visiting the house, staying in the cellar overnight and speaking with the entity, who he claims turned out to be a Sumerian demon called Kara.
“Kara is my bodyguard”, said the 54-year-old. “We became friends over the years and she protects me when I am on paranormal investigations.
“Kara is not a ghost, so she has never been a human – she has been here a lot longer than us.
“She often speaks in Sumerian, which is one of the oldest languages in the world, and while she isn’t attached to me as such, she does appear when I need protection.”
According to Mark, Kara arrived to help him when he was at a particularly hostile investigation in 2015.
A family in South Kirby, Wakefield, had been left so terrified to go upstairs they resorted to sleeping in the living room, after claiming to hear ghosts playing with toys, slamming doors and flushing the toilet.
“Kara came with me to cleanse the house because the family were so terrified”, said Mark.
“I believe when it comes to getting rid of a nasty or evil spirit, you need an even scarier one to do the job for you.
“That’s what Kara is, and she will be coming with me to East Yorkshire to make sure I’m not savaged or bitten by whatever is killing these animals.
“Whatever is getting these animals is hitting them with such speed some of their internal organs have imploded, and I’m determined to find out what it is.”
