A world exists online but, chances are, you know nothing of it. I am not talking about some Government conspiracy, pedophile site, or even a hidden murder site. No. I am talking about an online community of cannibals. It is something that most of us never think about, the media never discusses it. However, it is very active as well as disturbing.

Above, is an archived site. This site existed from 1998-2002 when German officials shut it down via DDOS. Now, the image alone seems fairly desent for a cannibalistic community. However, do not allow the image mislead you. So do these communities still thrive? In short, yes.

In the images above, you can see several highly disturbing topics. In fact, one reads, “ok i’ll be happy to eat you.” Now, if you do not fully understand what you are seeing, I will explain; you are warned, this is graphic.

On this site, there are two types of people, from what I can see. One group consists of men and women who have a cannibalistic fetish; the other group wants to be eaten. Yes, these are people who actually have a fetish of being devoured by another person. With this in mind, how has this, and other similar sites remained unnoticed? The simple answer is, they do not bring a lot of attention to themselves.

Because of the taboo topic at hand, most of these sites are not looked up often enough to bring attention. Let’s face it, not many people go around looking up canmibal communities. Furthermore, not many journalists, cannibals, or those who research it, are open to discussing it; I am taking that bold move. This is a very dark realm of our internet, and it has been hidden in plain sight. The fact that it is so elusive, so taboo, have done well in protecting these sites like these. However, I must wonder, with the shroud of secrecy, how safe are the unknowing people who cross them?
