Small town plagued by anonymous letters for two years, causing fear among residents.

Residents in a small village called Shiptonthorpe, located in North Yorkshire, have been facing a disturbing and unsettling situation. Some of them have been receiving incendiary and targeted letters for the past two years. These letters have been described as personal, obscene, and filled with hatred. It seems like the writer's main objective is to create a toxic and poisonous environment in the village.

The police have been notified about these letters, but so far, they have not been able to identify the person responsible for them. This has caused a lot of speculation and curiosity among the locals, who often discuss the letters on their Facebook group. One particular letter caught the attention of many, as it was addressed to a resident whose house had been damaged by floods. The writer cruelly expressed their hope for more rain, so the house could be flooded again and again, eventually washing the recipient away. Another letter wished for cancer to find its way to another person, stating that everyone agreed they should rot in hell.

These letters are delivered in standard white envelopes and printed on white paper, which makes it even more unsettling. One resident shared on the local Facebook group that he too had received a disgusting letter recently. He expressed his concern over the increasing number of such letters and reported the matter to the police. He also mentioned that other residents had also received similar letters and had reported them to the authorities.

This situation has similarities to a true story that took place in the 1920s in Littlehampton, Sussex. The story inspired a movie called Wicked Little Liars, where anonymous poison pen letters were sent to people. A Facebook user named Barry Stockdale shared his observation that the police have received at least a dozen complaints, with one person reporting four letters. He also revealed that the first letters were sent to local councillors back in 2022, and the number has been increasing ever since.

Some residents have taken it upon themselves to ask the police about the actions being taken regarding these letters. The police have confirmed that they have investigated some of the letters, but in some cases, they were unable to obtain any evidence. In one instance, they were unable to access the alleged letter, and in another, they found no evidence of aggressive language or any criminal offence. This has left the residents feeling frustrated and disappointed.

The impact of these letters on the small community of Shiptonthorpe has been toxic and damaging. One resident named Jason expressed his concern and stated that someone has brought poison to their village. He went on to say that he believes this is a hate crime and that it has had a harmful effect on the wonderful people of the village. The police have urged anyone with information to come forward and report it on the non-emergency 101 line.
