The Yeti\’s Cyber Smithy

The person we are thinking about wouldn’t talk much. She would stand behind her boyfriend, nod and occasionally cackle in agreement when he blurted out some of the most insane things. At first, we thought both were just more harmless wingnuts that plague the Wiccan community with their role playing games.

At one point, he had wanted me to forge an ancient knife for him. It had to be ancient because he was going to use it to slay “ancient demons”. I advised my wife that I could make him some very special using “ancient iron and carbon”. Hey, it’s not really a lie. All elements are positively ancient. I do not think he purchased one of my knives but a return visit caused Aimee and I to telephone the police.

I do not remember if the first scare was the murder he claimed took place inside his circle or his killing and subsequential burring of the demons that he said was feeding the neighbor’s dogs. The murder that he talked about within his circle he flat refused to confess too, claiming someone else had killed the woman and he had to figure out what to do with the body. The killing and burring of the demons that fed the neighbors dogs, those he confessed to. After all, it is not illegal to murder demons right? Odd, I thought people fed dogs.

Again, I do not remember which conversation came first. But with it came a plan to get the man’s legal name and home address. Basically, on his return visit we asked him if he would like to be on our mailing list and then called the police on his exit from the store. Two officers visited his home, were refused entry, and returned to tell us there was nothing they could do but that the man did seem to be mentally ill.

We never saw the man again but a few days later we were fairly sure we saw his girlfriend on the evening news. It was about three years ago when the story of Tina Wilson aired. We again called the police. Now it is entirely possible the woman who frequented our store was not Tina Wilson and it is entirely possible the demon slaying wingnut was simply playing a game with his reports of demons slayings and other murders. But if so, it is one heck of coincidence.

Knowing that many of my readers and members of Pagan Nation live in the Central Ohio area, I thought it a good idea to post this to my blog and ask people to help police if they know anything that might help.
