Redwood Creek, OR – Authorities are investigating a disturbing incident involving a local resident, identified as Elsie Thorne, following a reportedly intense and unsettling séance held at her home late last night. Initial reports suggest Ms. Thorne underwent a dramatic and violent physical transformation, culminating in a brief, but alarming, period of unrestrained aggression.

The event unfolded shortly after 10:30 PM, when local police responded to a 911 call from Mr. Silas Thorne, Ms. Thorne’s husband. Mr. Thorne reported that his wife had become increasingly agitated during the séance, which was intended to communicate with her deceased mother. Witnesses – including several neighbors who reported hearing shouting and unusual noises – described a rapid escalation in Ms. Thorne’s behavior. According to Mr. Thorne’s statement, his wife began exhibiting symptoms consistent with extreme distress and then, shockingly, began physically altering her appearance.

“It was… unbelievable,” Mr. Thorne stated during a brief press conference this morning. “One moment she was pleading with the spirit, the next… her eyes were burning red, and her skin was changing. It was like something… else was taking over.” Witnesses claim to have observed Ms. Thorne’s features shifting, her body contorting, and her voice deepening into a guttural rasp. She reportedly attacked several items within the home, including furniture and a decorative altar.

Police apprehended Ms. Thorne after approximately fifteen minutes, during which she reportedly attempted to flee the premises. She is currently receiving observation at Redwood Creek General Hospital. Doctors are struggling to determine the exact nature of the transformation, citing a combination of extreme stress, possible hallucinogenic effects, and a currently unidentified physiological response.

Local spiritualist, Mr. Edgar Blackwood, who assisted the Thorne family with the séance, offered a cautious assessment. “The veil between worlds can be thin, especially during practices like these,” he commented. “Sometimes, the energies summoned can be… volatile. It is a reminder that respecting the unseen realms requires profound caution.”

The incident has sparked renewed debate regarding the legitimacy and potential dangers of paranormal practices within the community. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the séance is ongoing, with authorities seeking to determine if any protocols were violated and if the event warrants further scrutiny.
