Voodoo Goat Slayings

A spate of goat decapitations in Florida is being linked to the voodoo practice of Palo Mayombe.

Nine decapitated goats have been discovered recently in the Fort Walton Beach area of Florida, experts have confirmed all the goats were killed by human hand and the method used is linked to the animal sacrifice practiced by followers of the Palo Mayombe faith.

Palo originates from the Congo basin of central Africa where many slaves were taken from and relocated in Cuba. The faith is a mix between traditional African pagan religions and Catholicism, and involves many elements of black magic to summon spirits to for curses or charms.
