Hey all. I found this .txt file on a hard drive I bought at a thrift store for around $10 give or take. There was all this conspiracy theory junk, but in the main folder, there was a sub-folder titled reddit_archive_2013. This peaked my interest. I looked through it and it all sounded like nonsense. The town of "Limen" isn't real and I couldn't find anything about an Arnuld Dejeuner. This all seems very "spooky-haunted-harddrive-bendrowned" but the fact it was on a stranger's hard drive next to the fucking Zapruder film seems very odd. Let me know what you think. I tried to attach the text file, but that didn't work, so here's a low quality screenshot instead :(
>>42932158I searched the /x/ archives out of curiosity: "Limen" has no relevant hit. Both the name "Arnuld Dejeuner" and the term "turbavorare" display no results.Weird.
>>42932158The word is piqued.
>>42932158Appears to be a work of fiction. Probably a story someone was working on
>>42932158The word is peeked

JOHAN OSHKIThe first reported sighting of what would go on to be colloquially known as "The Turbavorare" was in 1912, in the town of Limen, Switzerland. On the evening of April 14th, 1912, at approximately 11:40 PM, an Individual by the name of Arnuld Déjeuner reported to the Limen police precinct with a disturbing tale to tell; He had witnessed an entire herd of cattle consumed by a creature of un-earthly proportions. The man reporting the event was a professor of Latin at The Limen School of Medicine und esoterische Sprachen or The Limen School of Medicine and Esoteric Languages when translated into English. According to the few remaining documents chronicling the event, Professor Déjeuner called the creature "The Turbavorare" roughly translating to "The Crowd Devourer" when converted from Latin to English. The officer on duty that night, who is not named in any surviving documents, is said to have thought the older man a "complete lunatic!". The professor insisted his story was truthful and demanded investigation into the matter. He was promptly dismissed by the policeman and a report filed but not taken seriously. That is, until a local farmer named Hans Erde reported his herd of cows missing in the early morning hours of the 15th. He reported to the same police precinct that Déjeuner had visited mere hours earlier. (1/2)

He took down the farmers account and, after notifying his superior of the disturbance, was dispatched to Erde's farm. According to the written account taken by Langweilig, a herd of 16 cows simply disappeared, with Erde going to sleep the previous night and waking to find nothing but empty food troughs in his pasture. Erde was distraught. After showing Langweilig around his farm, Erde demanded further investigation than a simple written report, but was denied. Langweilig later wrote that if he had known earlier of the disturbance of the previous day, he would not have dismissed Erde's case so quickly. Erde posted a advertisement in the town square that simply said; "COWS MISSING, REWARD" when translated into English. This did little to remedy the situation, with several people claiming to have the Cows in their possession, demanding reward money before any "proof" of the Cow's existence could be shown. (2/2)
