Information: The file on this creature contains a newspaper clipping from one of those sleazy gossip and fake news magazines you see at the check-out lanes at your local supermarket. The article is of a family who is, for lack of a better word, credited in finding this creature.
The article states that this creature used to be human. The day before it was discovered, the children of the family were playing in the local park. As common with most children, the older brother was picking on his younger sister by means of the usual antics. During the course of the day, she kept saying the words "You’re a meanie!" and spitting at her older brother while trying to get away. The last time she said this to her brother, she accidentally bit her tongue in an attempt at giving her brother what is known as a raspberry. She successfully gave the raspberry, but also spat some blood on her older brother’s face.
That night, the little boy told his mother he didn’t feel good. The mother claims that the boy described what sounded like he was coming down with the flu. Before going to bed, the boy broke out in a fever. The last thing the mother remembered doing was placing a wash cloth on his head before tucking him in for the night.
The next day, they found this creature destroying the boy’s room. The body was never found.
The article makes the assumption that the little girl may have performed an ancient curse practiced by young witches during colonial times that turns people into monsters based on their displayed personality. A common way to trigger these training curses was to bite one’s tongue and then spit the blood out after saying the incantation. When a representative from this particular paper went to interview the family, one of the questions the reporter asked is if there was a member of their family on either side that may have been connected to the Salem Witch Trials. Turns out the mother had an ancestor that was hung for eligibly being a witch.
