WDBJ7 Roanoke News and Weather NRV Lynchburg Danville | Summer "Wiccan festival" in Floyd County a hoax
Member Center:
There is nothing brewing in Floyd County this summerContrary to internet postings, a group of witches and warlocks is not planning a blood ritual in Floyd County over the fourth of July weekend.
The event was posted all over the internet, including craigslist.com. The satanic ceremonies were supposedly going to take place on 18 acres of land owned by a Maryland couple.
The ritual was supposedly going to involve animal sacrifices and group sex. With the help of the FBI, Floyd County Sheriff's Investigator Jeff Dalton has spent the last month researching the two land owners. It turned out they were the victims of this charade.
Even though there won't be a Wiccan festival in Floyd this Summer, deputies will be on hand just in case there are people who didn't get the message that it's a hoax.
