In 2023, some images caught on a trail cam in 2021 briefly went viral. As the Outdoor Life article, "Naked Witches Caught on Camera, or the Greatest Trail Cam Prank of All Time?" describes:
When Corinea Stanhope and her grandfather Bob set up a trail camera near a deer carcass two minutes from Stanhope’s home in Powell River, British Columbia, they hoped to see some interesting wildlife feeding on it. First came a bobcat. Then, to their surprise, came two half-naked figures with matted black hair that looked a lot like witches. The trail camera photos show the two standing over the deer carcass, picking at the flesh, and even raising a hoof to one of their mouths.
The internet can’t decide if these images are real or staged. Social media commenters mostly attribute the behavior to a local bone-obsessed cult, a variety of demons, or just two pranksters with black wigs and a major commitment to their craft.

In the photos, one of the two figures is wearing just a loincloth while the other wears pants and boots. Both appear to be topless. Their faces are concealed by curtains of matted black hair. Stanhope is pretty sure they’re wearing wigs with curly blond hair underneath.
And because she works as a nurse, Stanhope was extra grossed out by the idea of someone bringing a rotting deer hoof to their mouth.
“I found it concerning how quickly false information was spread,” said Woloschuk. “I was especially disturbed by the use of the word ‘witch’ especially in the United States, where [the story] really blew up.”
Woloschuk feels that the climate for women in the US right now has regressed and women’s rights are being threatened.
“It wasn’t long ago in our history that women were being burned at the stake and being accused of being witches,” she said.
