Cedar Crest man jailed for attacks on 'shape shifters'
Last Update: 11/07/2002 13:18:09
Police say a man killed and burned two animals and kidnapped and assaulted a woman because he thought they were "shape shifters."
Christopher Campbell, 42, is charged with extreme animal cruelty resulting in death, false imprisonment and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Deputies initially tried to contact Campbell after a woman reported she had been smoking crack cocaine with Campbell and he "freaked out," locking her in a laundry room and firing a weapon through a window at her on October 30.
The woman told authorities she escaped through a window and called for help from a neighbor's house. Deputies could not locate Campbell on October 30.
On November 6, Campbell's parents contacted sheriff's deputies and requested a welfare check on him because he had mental and drug problems.
At Campbell's Cedar Crest home, deputies found the front and back porches were covered with honey and jam and the doorknobs were covered in butter, found the internal organs and fur of a small animal in the garage, and discovered the burnt remains of two domestic cats.
Deputies found Campbell naked in a closet in his home.
When questioned about the cats, Campbell said he could tell they were "shape shifters" and not cats by the shape of their eyes. He said he was in fear for his life and he had to destroy them.
When questioned about the woman who claimed to have been kidnapped, Campbell said a "shape shifter" had taken over her body, so he shut her in a laundry room and broke out a window to keep an eye on her. He said he later sprayed insecticide at the woman so she would leave through the window.
Campbell is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond. In addition to the surety, further conditions of any pretrial release include abstaining from illegal drugs, taking prescribed drugs in full and on time, and keeping all doctor and psychologist appointments.
How does one become a Shifter??? Well, I don't know!
But there are a number of theorys and guidelines, and I will present them here. Please use your common sense when thinking about doing any of these excercises and if you are a child or underage, {You shouldn't be able to get here if you are a child or underage} show this to your parents and ask them permission.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anyone who trys any of these things and causes a problem, I am not advising anyone to do any of these things, I am only presenting excercises which are reputed to be helpful in Shifterism as a source of information for persons interested in WereCreatures. Meaning: if you do any of this and get hurt, don't blame me.
Note: The excercises commonly practiced by Shifters are variations of these excercises, but everyone does things a little differently. Also instinct often leads Shifters to things that they need to do for their inner animal (such as taking a camping trip at a certain time when their animal really needs it). WARNING: ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUGS DO NOT MIX WITH MEDITATION OR TRANCE STATES, THEY TEND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE AND CAN EASILY RESULT IN THE WORST "BAD TRIPS" IN EXISTANCE
Excercise #1 Go to your library and check out a whole bunch of books on animals, especially the cat family, (Housecats, Tigers, Leopards, Panthers, Lynxes, Others) the dog family(Wolves, Foxes, Coyotes, Jackals, Dogs,Others) and Bears. Check out some on Hyenas, Badgers, Weasels, Crows, Ravens, Hawks, Owls, and Eagles too. Also, if there is an animal that you've always really liked or been obsessed with, check out books on that animal too. All of these books should be books with many color photographs of the animals, preferably in the Wild, not in pens or as pets. Look at all the photographs carefully, and think about what it might feel like to physically be those animals. Think about where they live, what they do, slinking through the grass, sleeping in the open air, napping in the sun on a rock, rolling in the dust for a dust bath, slipping through the scrubland in the dark of night in the cool night air.
Excercise #2 Find a live representation of your animal, if possible. Go to the zoo (with good binoculars) and watch various animals that might be your species for a long time, looking at them close-up with binoculars if need be. Watch how they move, how they get up and lay down.
Excercise #3 For this excercise, meditate, as vividly as you can picture, being an animal. Try to picture the physical sensations as good as possible, such as the feel of soft mud on the pads of your paws.
Excercise #4 Watch nature documentaries on TV that have lots of videos of your animal in the Wild. Watch your fellow Wolves (or whatever animals) frolic and do Wolf things and daydream about being there.
Excercise #5 This is one of the most important excercises. You really need to, as a Shifter, have access to a Wild area, however small, and go walking there alone from time to time. Remember, not all wild areas are safe to walk alone in. Be careful.
Yeah, that's the ticket. He must also pledge "scout's honor" that he will do this.

I think this is an exerpt of the original show: The Chicken Heart
But I was thinking of the classic Bill Cosby routine.
