Blood fills family's basement

The Lestinas of Bagley, Iowa, found that their basement was filled 5 inches deep with blood. But they no supernatural incident was afoot: they live next to Dahl's Meat Locker and thereby learned that the company was "dumping hog and cattle remains down a floor drain" connected to his own. KITV:

He immediately reported it to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, which confirmed the substance as animal blood, fat and bones. They got the Department of Health involved due to its hazards.

The DNR said the meat processor has been cooperating with the investigation, however, Lestina says Dahl's, so far, has not been a good neighbor in this situation.

"They haven't reached out at all. In fact, they haven't taken any accountability for it," said Lestina. "They say it's not their fault and told me 'good luck.' If I want to do anything about it, it's on my dime and my schedule."

Let the Blood Tort Ritual commence!
