The findings have some residents fearing a Satanic cult may be thriving inthe Triangle.
Someone took a walk in the woods and made the startling discovery Sundayafternoon. What looked like a worship idol was tied to a tree. The idol had a necklace around it and a chicken feather on top. Below it, policefound a burnt pile of feathers, probably a chicken. Fruits and vegetableswere spread around it, giving the look of some type of offering.
A short distance away, the goat was found headless with its feet tiedtogether.
Sgt. Gerald Britt of the Raleigh Police Department said they're not sure what the findings mean.
Greg Nixon and his family live nearby and his son likes to play in thewoods. He said he was concerned about what kind of people were doing this and what else they planned on doing.
Britt said the police were going to work to find out what exactly happened.
Animal cruelty or possibly animal theft are the worst charges that theresponsible individuals could be charged with.
