Pennsylvania residents have been left petrified after finding terrifying notes inside sealed food packages that reference JFK, terror-riots, SS and Lord of the Rings. 

The cryptic notes have been discovered in ordinary grocery items, including Lucky Charms, Lindt Chocolate and Chai tea, bought from multiple stores in Northeastern Pennsylvania and across the state.

Joe Miller, from Sugarloaf Township, couldn't believe his eyes when he found a folded piece of paper containing secret society messages in a box of Lucky Charm's S'mores cereal that he purchased last week.

'It just bothers me. The note really - it's the note that really bothers me. These notes are found inside food like kids' food,' Miller told WBRE.

He promptly reported the discovery to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and JetBlack local news outlets.




Pennsylvania residents were left terrorized by mysterious notes referencing JFK, terror-riots, SS, and Lord of the Rings discovered inside sealed food packages. Joe Miller from Sugarloaf Township showed what he found in his Lucky Charm's S'mores cereal 





The notes contain a mash-up of words with references to current events and conspiracy theories





'I opened up the box … I poured it out in my bowl and out came this paper that was all folded up just like this,' said Miller, adding he bought the cereal from a Luzerne County grocery store 

More than a dozen people in the area have expressed concerns about the notes, with two area congressmen promising to investigate. 

The notes contain a mash-up of words with references to current events and conspiracy theories. 

In an interview with WBRE on Tuesday, Miller, who bought the cereal from a Luzerne County grocery story, said: 'I opened up the box … I poured it out in my bowl and out came this paper that was all folded up just like this,' 

'Oh, I was devastated. I mean I didn't even want to eat the cereal, although, I still have the box here. 

'Probably not going to eat it. I don't know what's inside the cereal or if this note laced with anything.'

Another resident from Montoursville, Pennsylvania, revealed she found a similar cryptic note in a sealed box of Chai tea. 

'It's kind of disturbing that this could happen in sealed-up bags. Things like this it's a little unnerving to me,' Chris said. 

Other residents also shared their experiences on social media.

One told WBRE on Facebook: 'I found one several months ago and just last month in Lindt dark chocolate. They were purchased from different retailers. Tried to research but came up with nothing.'

The notes contain words like terror-riots, JFK warned of SS and Lord of Rings. But the news station has opted not to disclose the specific contents of the note.





Pictures showing similar messages have been circulated on social media for months, as multiple users shared the notes that they found in food packages

The news station opted not to disclose the name of the store where the cereal was bought or the specific contents of the note. 

But pictures showing similar messages have been circulated on social media for months, with multiple users sharing what they found in food packages. 

One note reads: 'SECRET societies' (SS) ties to terro'm'/mass shoot'gs…go unreport'd. JFK/Lincoln/Wilson warn'd of SS. A secret sign/symb. Sys unites SS. Their symbs tie to Saturn, Lord o/t Rings/Time.' 

The Reddit user who shared the picture said: 'Opened my girlfriend's cereal and found this super weird Secret Society message? It's like half nonsense sounding but still pretty strange.' 

The post has elicited overwhelming reactions, including one person who decided to collect posts that show the cryptic messages in food boxes.  

'Ooh, there's another note!' the person wrote in comments. 'There's a mystery dude going around placing these in random places. I think ima start collecting posts that show this type of stuff.' 

The social media user who found the note later confirmed that, like Miller and Chris, they also reside in Pennsylvania. 









Congressman Dan Meuser (pictured) said he will look for answers: ''So, we are going to stay in touch with our contacts at the FBI and the FDA. Everything that we can find out that we can legally share, we will' 

Congressman Dan Meuser said: 'We're definitely going to stay on top of this. If it's concerning to our constituents which it clearly is, it's concerning to us.

'So, we are going to stay in touch with our contacts at the FBI and the FDA. Everything that we can find out that we can legally share, we will.' 

Congressman Matt Cartwright called the note 'a weird joke'. 

He added that there has been no indication of people falling ill after eating products where notes have been found, but does not want to take chances. 

'We want to find out who is doing this. It's obviously somebody's idea of a weird joke. But you don't want it to get any further than that. ' 

The Food and Drug Administration said it is aware of the incidents in a statement. 

A spokesperson said: 'The FDA is aware of the situation. The agency evaluates product defects and other complaints that it receives. 

'Consumers who have recently purchased items that they suspect have been tampered with should not use the product and should return it to the retail outlet.'
