Human Leopard Society: Ritual Murder and Cannibalism in Colonial Africa

By K J Beatty

"The bush seemed to me pervaded with something supernatural, a spirit which was striving to bridge the animal and the human ..."
From the preface

Were the Human Leopard Society members cannibals for the purpose of satisfying an appetite for human flesh, or was it some far out religious rite? These and numerous other questions will be answered in this historic account.

The Human Leopard Society, the Human Alligator Society and the Human Baboon Society were West-African underground organizations, responsible for weird rituals and murders, rumors of cannibalism and human sacrifice.

During the harvesting of human fat to replenish the energy of some primitive entity, the members of these groups came to believe in the reinvigorating effect of the human meat gourmet.

Their morbid activities spanned decades and came to an end with the labors of the Special Commission Court, and the ensuing punishment of the perpetrators.

These sordid records of the Special Commission Court once again prove the reality that truth is often stranger than fiction.
