Back in the early '80s I wrote off a story something similar to this when a girl I was dating told me about a satanist coven that she was adjacent to were sacrificing babies. >lol, how can you sacrifice a baby, the police would go looking for the missing child! She explained that the child was birthed in secret, handed over voluntarily to the coven and then sacrificed. No paper trail, no police investigation. I was skeptical (being a young guy at the time) but a few years later, with another girl, I learned that an entire canyon in our area was controlled by a different satanist coven. The entire canyon (Silverado Canyon, look it up). They performed ritualistic human sacrifices in this canyon. >lol, the Sheriff's department patrols that area! She then went on to explain how the satanists had control through blackmail (mostly pedo stuff) of the Sheriffs department, the judiciary at a pretty high level and the clergy. I flat out laughed at her... for 30 years until I was on Voat and heard all about this shit (again). Being in the goth scene in SoCal in the 80s was a trip. Apparently nothing ever changes.
