Case File: 012, No Cutting
Location: Small town near Cleveland, Ohio
Status: Open Investigation
Filed By: Department of Anomalous Events
Summary
This case concerns a series of unexplained incidents linked to a rumored supernatural entity known as “Cutter.” Reports suggest that individuals who have been marked with a specific “No Cutting” sticker experience disturbing encounters shortly thereafter. The phenomenon appears to originate from a local urban legend that has gained traction in amusement parks, grocery stores, and other public venues where lines form.
Background
The “No Cutting” sticker first appeared in circulation approximately six months prior to the first reported incident. The sticker is small, circular, and features a red slash. It is typically used as a prank or act of revenge against individuals who cut in line.
Witnesses claim that once the sticker is secretly placed on a person, that individual becomes the target of a supernatural visitation by an entity referred to as “Cutter.” The entity’s appearance and behavior vary slightly between accounts, but all reports describe a tall figure wearing a yellow rubber mask with a slash of blood.
Incident Reports
Incident 1:
Date: July 4th, 2025

Summary: A man identified as “Tom” (name changed) was seen cutting in line for a roller coaster. A witness later admitted to placing a “No Cutting” sticker on his jacket.

He was found the next morning, cut to pieces.
Incident 2:
Date: September 9th, 2025

Summary: A woman known as “Lisa” (name changed) was marked with the sticker after bypassing several customers in a checkout line. Security footage later showed her reacting to unseen stimuli, turning repeatedly as if someone were whispering behind her.

A day later she was found in the grocery store parking lot, cut to pieces.
