In the 70s and 80s, the Butcher of Oldemarkt was the most famous butcher shop in Oldemarkt and its surroundings. In the early 90s, tragedy struck. The butcher shop and the house above it burned to the ground. The butcher's family perished in the fire, and his beloved butcher shop was lost.
Almost immediately after the fire, local gossip started swirling. There were tensions in his relationship with his wife, the butcher shop was in financial trouble, and there were rumors that the butcher himself could have been the cause of this tragedy, so it was said in the normally peaceful village.
The police also caught wind of the accusations and quickly made the butcher their prime suspect. Shortly after, he was taken into custody and every effort was made to close the case. From that moment on, in Oldemarkt and its surroundings, everyone was sure: The butcher himself is the culprit.During the investigation, it proved difficult to gather enough evidence. Almost everything had gone up in smoke, and not all witnesses turned out to be reliable.
Much was based on hearsay, but who exactly knew what was happening in the butcher's family? Eventually, they had no choice but to release the butcher. His name was by no means cleared, and he was increasingly shunned in the local community.
He started to withdraw more and more into his home, and he rarely visited his few remaining friends. The social isolation the butcher found himself in grew deeper and deeper. New stories began to circulate in and around the village. He supposedly wanted nothing to do with the local population anymore, was still furious because of his public condemnation, and was even seeking revenge... He is rarely seen on the streets now, often wandering in the dark in and around the forests of Oldemarkt and occasionally appearing at a shed on the local industrial estate.
It is unclear what he is exactly doing there. Over the past year, there have been remarkably many reports from people within the Oldemarkt community who felt they were being followed in the wee hours of the night. In addition, there have been a number of unsolved missing persons cases in the once peaceful village. What is happening in Oldemarkt? Has the Butcher of Oldemarkt picked up his knives again, or is this just another tall tale?
