Today's real-life Gothic comes from rural Oregon, where a couple decided to get very close to a horse. No, not zoophilically, but in a combination of necrophilia and animal fetishism with new media.
It's like something from Georges Bataille:
The 21-year-old woman told Washington County Sheriff’s Office detectives she wanted to “feel one” with a horse, according to a WCSO incident report.
After the horse had been put down and gutted, the woman undressed and crawled inside the carcass of the dead horse and took pictures to prove it.
Or perhaps 19th-century French horror:
In addition to the picture of the naked woman inside the horse, there are other photos, including one of the woman and her boyfriend holding what appears to be the horses’ heart. Another shot shows them holding a piece of the horse in front of their mouth – posing as they’re about to take a bite out of it...
The report veers towards decadence at one point:
Arguably the most artistic photo of the group is a picture of the naked 21-year-old, blood-soaked from head to toe, standing over the horse’s body she had just been inside.
To cleanse your palate, here's the classic dogs in elk story.
All I can say is... thank God it's not in Ohio! Finally... some other "O" state gets they gothic freak on.
And where is Oklahoma? C'mon, boys. Represent.
