Paranormal House: Honiara

The Woolly Rhino of Makira

he Solomon Islands Clergy Investigation Team (SICIT) was a group of four priests and nuns who dedicated their lives to exploring the mysteries of God's creation. They traveled across the archipelago, seeking out reports of mythical creatures, paranormal phenomena, and supernatural events. They used their faith, knowledge, and courage to confront the forces of darkness and reveal the truth.

One day, they received an invitation from a village chief on the island of Makira. He claimed that his people were being terrorized by something evil that came from the depths of the earth. He said that it was a remnant of the Pleistocene epoch, the time when giant ice sheets covered much of the world and huge beasts roamed the land. He begged the SICIT to come and help them.

The SICIT accepted the invitation and boarded a boat to Makira. They brought with them their holy books, crosses, holy water, and other tools of their trade. They also carried a camera, a recorder, and a laptop to document their findings. They hoped to learn more about the mysterious creature and its connection to the ancient past.

They arrived at the village and were greeted by the chief and his elders. They told the SICIT that the creature had been attacking their livestock, crops, and even people for the past few months. They said that it was a huge, hairy, horned beast that could run faster than a horse and had a roar that could shake the mountains. They said that it lived in a cave near the coast, where it had dug a tunnel that reached the sea. They said that no one had ever seen it clearly, but they had found its tracks, droppings, and bones of its prey.

The SICIT decided to investigate the cave and try to capture the creature on camera. They asked the villagers to guide them to the location and to stay behind at a safe distance. They prayed for God's protection and set off for the cave.

They reached the cave and saw that it was a large opening in the side of a hill. They could hear the sound of waves crashing inside. They entered the cave cautiously, shining their flashlights around. They saw that the cave was filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and fossils. They also saw signs of the creature's presence: claw marks, fur, blood, and bones.

They followed the tunnel that led to the sea, hoping to find the creature's lair. They walked for about half an hour, until they reached a large chamber that opened to the ocean. They saw that the chamber was littered with carcasses of fish, turtles, seals, and sharks. They also saw a pile of bones that looked like they belonged to whales, elephants, rhinos, and other large mammals. They realized that they had found the creature's den.

They scanned the chamber with their camera, hoping to catch a glimpse of the creature. They did not see it, but they heard it. It was a loud, deep, guttural roar that echoed through the cave. They felt a tremor in the ground, as if something heavy was approaching. They turned around and saw a massive shadow looming over them. They screamed and ran for their lives.

They sprinted back to the tunnel, but the creature was faster. It chased them with its huge, hoofed feet, its long, hairy tail, and its sharp, curved horns. It snapped at them with its powerful jaws, its long, pointed teeth, and its thick, drooling tongue. It was a monster from the Pleistocene, a relic of the Ice Age. It was a woolly rhinoceros.

The SICIT reached the mouth of the cave, but the creature was right behind them. It lunged at them, trying to gore them with its horns. The SICIT dodged and ducked, but the creature was relentless. It swung its head from side to side, trying to hit them with its horns. It was a terrifying sight, a nightmare come true.

The villagers, who had been watching from afar, saw the commotion and came to help. They threw rocks, spears, and arrows at the creature, trying to distract it and drive it away. They shouted and banged drums, trying to scare it and confuse it. They prayed and sang hymns, trying to invoke God's power and mercy.

The SICIT managed to escape the creature's attack and ran to the safety of the villagers. They thanked them for their help and hugged them in relief. They looked back at the cave and saw that the creature had retreated to its den. They heard it roar again, a sound of anger and defiance.

The SICIT decided to leave the creature alone and return to their boat. They realized that they had encountered a living fossil, a survivor of the Pleistocene epoch. They wondered how it had managed to live for so long, and why it had become so aggressive. They decided to report their findings to the scientific community and the church, hoping to shed some light on the mystery.

They boarded their boat and sailed away from Makira. They looked at the photos and videos they had taken of the creature and its den. They were amazed and terrified by what they had seen. They thanked God for their lives and for the wonders of His creation. They wondered what other secrets the Solomon Islands hid, and what other adventures awaited them. They vowed to continue their mission, to explore the unknown and to reveal the truth. They were the Solomon Islands Clergy Investigation Team, and they were ready for anything.
