Nashville police get reports on occasional occult activity

Nashville police say they occasionally are called to investigate reports that could be linked to the occult. The reports range from spray-painted pentagrams to mutilated dogs.

A review of police reports by The Tennessean newspaper found fewer than 50 such among more than a (m) million incident reports. The reports covered January 2002 through July 13th.

In one of them, a Jeremy Pigg thought a pentagram outlined with chalk in his cul-de-sac was probably the work of neighborhood kids, but wanted to report it in case anything else happened.

Some reports are darker.
