“In the Spring of 1988, rumors about a dangerous satanic cult spread throughout the rural areas of Western New York, Northwest Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. The rumor stories made claims about secret ritual meetings, the killing of cats, dogs and other animals, and the drinking of animal blood, and predicted the imminent kidnapping and sacrifice of a blond, blue-eyed virgin. The stories focused upon specific, local circumstances from town to town, yet they carried remarkably similar symbolic content.” From the “A Rumor Panic about a Dangerous Satanic Cult in Western New York,” by Jeffrey S. Victor
