What a weird one. Maybe you should post these in one thread?
When I was a kid my dad and mom often told the story of an incident long ago near Noel, Missouri. There were people camped there. I can't remember for sure but it seems my mother's dad was part of the party. During the evening as they were around the fire some creature came down and snatched an infant. The men followed and came to a cave in the bluffs. In spite of their best efforts they could not find the two but they could hear the infant crying out in the depths.
In the end they sealed the cave off to prevent the creature from doing such again.
There is another very old newspaper article I found several months ago. There was a family, wife,husband three children.
They slaughtered a pig and hung it from a tree in the usual manner. Afterwards mother and father went to town for some reason. Upon their return they found the two older children had taken the youngest and subjected him to the same process as the pig.
Hung from a tree limb, cut throat.
No word of what happened after the horrific incident. Can't remember where I found the article.

There is an idea for a macabre book. There are numerous old articles about such incidents.
Present the story, do some research on the survivors and consequences. Probably could find a great deal of information.nowadays.
