November 24th 1989

The broken neck mysteries

They were found dead, one bullock and one heifer on the morning of November 24th 1989. Two young beasts lying dead in a field at West Nevay Farm, Blairgowrie. They lay peacefully beside the circular feeder in the field, having died sometime during the night, but the mystery lay in the manner of their death.

The vet was called and took blood samples but tests revealed no evidence of toxicity or disease. Later he cut open one of the carcasses to confirm his suspicion that the necks of both beasts had been broken. But there were no indications of foot scrapings, no signs of a struggle, no low flying aircraft during the night, no thunderstorms or lightning. All the evidence was that death had been instantaneous and unexpected.

One interesting circumstance was that the circular feeder lay at a point where two ley lines crossed. This may not have been of any significance but there is plenty of evidence that a low level natural energy from geomagnetic sources does pass below ground, in particular through underground streams, and where such lines of energy cross the natural forces involved can be unusually strong.

David Cowan of Crieff has made a study of these circumstances particularly as they may affect individual dwelling houses. He believes that what he calls geopathic stress is responsible for many cases of illness. In a number of cases he has discovered energy spirals emanating from a subterranean source which are particularly noxious as are the presence of ‘hot spots’ at certain points. He is one of the very small number of people in the United Kingdom acting as geopathic stress consultants and claims numerous successes in this field.

The suggestion that the two beasts died because of geopathic stress factors seems extremely far fetched but no more rational explanation has as yet been produced.
