This week we should be celebrating the 9th birthday of my son.
Instead we are celebrating the 9th anniversary since his murder.
If you have any information, please call FBI Portland Office @ 207-774-9322
ask for Agent Andy Drewer.
November 14, 2013 10PM @ Southern Maine Community College Art Studio Bug-Light Parking Lot: 3 strangers armed with golf clubs, attacked me from behind while I was loading bags into the backseat of my car. They were a blond woman 60s-ish whom the others called "Claire", a natural red-haired woman also 60sish who called herself "Kendra", and a bald man, football player-body-type-build in his 30sish. I was 8 months pregnant. They murdered my baby, ruptured 3 discs in my spine, shattered 3 vertebra, broke my pelvis, hips, and knees. I was paralyzed for 5 months and was 18 months relearning to walk. The nerve damage has left me with limited use of my hands, legs, bladder, and intestines.
On top of that, they have also taken to harassing the baby's father, a disfigured, homeless, WW2 veteran, whom they call "Etoile". They spread hateful rumours about him claiming he is a cryptid, a demon, or most often what they term "an amphibious alien". He lives in pine branch lean-toos he builds in Old Orchard Beach and Ocean Park, and they have been hunting the locations of them, tearing them down, and smashing up his belongings.
April 10, 2015 1PM at 146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach Maine a gang of estimated 74 people, some of them wearing ku klux klan robes, invaded my farm, used a Blow Brothers sewage truck to pump 500+gallons of sewage into my motorhome flooding it to over the kitchen counters deep, ripped out all the cabinets and built in furniture, while 14 men armed with guns, held my family down on the ice and snow, with guns to our heads, and used cinder block bricks and a metal pole with metal wire loops to beat and behead 10 of my 12 foster children (the youngest age 4, the oldest age 16). May 15, 2015 they returned and nailed their heads to my front door. The 3 people of the November 14, 2013 attack were among the group.
September 12, 2015, 9AM a dozen+ of these same people arrived again in my driveway at 146, this time chanting: "Too gay for the family friendly town of Old Orchard Beach. Kill of be killed. Remember Saco Shaw's, Transgender Murder Store, kill the transvestites before they kill us all", one white haired man in a dark green pick up truck was leading the herd, while waving a rifle over his head and shooting at me and my pink motorhome, he shot several holes through my neighbour's shed. The crowd was accusing me of being a male-to-female "transgender terrorist" (they thought I was Muslim because I wear Catholic veiling).
June 26, 2016, the same 2 women of the first 2 attacks, arrived at my Scarborough WalMart workplace, and in a near repeat of the first attack, again while I was leaned over the back seat of my car putting bags in, this time they attacked with a chopping cart, re-injuring my spine, hip, and pelvis that was not yet fully healed from the first attack. The blond "Claire" woman was screaming "That's EelKat, she tried to kill my husband!" while the redhead screamed "I'm Kendra Silvermander it's my turn the shine!" They sped away in a early2000s-vintage gold Volvo SUV station wagon. This attack left me permanently crippled, and bedridden from 2016 until May 2022.
November 21, 2021: They shot "Etiole" in Biddeford, while he was staying at the tent-shanty-village with about 50 other homeless people along the Saco River in Biddeford. They made the claim he was a "suicide demon" citing that he was driving locals to suicide by putting "evil eye curses" on them.
These people murdered my baby, attempted to murder the baby's father, drove a backhoe over our house, and left me crippled for the rest of my life in their attempt to murder me.
I do not know who these people are. I never saw them before these attacks, and I've not seen them outside of these attacks. The police and FBI believe I was not the intended target, and that they were likely after my mother because of posts she makes on FaceBook and got us mixed up. The Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford Police and the FBI are seeking information leading to their identity and arrest.
More Info @ eelkat.com
Long detailed info on the over 200 attacks they have done between June 2001 and May 2022, including photos of them driving a backhoe over our house on August 8, 2013 and the details of the malicious "amphibious alien" rumour they have been spreading about a local homeless disabled veteran @

July 4th 2013: my car in front of my house.
August 8, 2013: me getting home from work to find a backhoe sitting on top of my house.
The FBI already found the people with the backhoe incident, and learned that the backhoe driver was paid $600 and given a fake demolition paper, the paper stating one of my relatives (the one who paid him the $600) owned my land. The backhoe driver was unaware that the man he was dealing with was not the owner. I have lived at 146 Portland Ave since 1975 and have owned the land since 1983, it has never been owned by anyone else, even though we have now learned that both my mother and my father and 3 of my uncles had been actively going around Old Orchard Beach claiming they owned my land.
This happened 3 months before my son was murdered and the police and FBI believe my son was murdered BECAUSE of this picture being posted on FaceBook, and my mother making inciting/inflammatory posts about it on HER FaceBook, where she falsely accused me of being a witch. The FBI and OOB police believe the golf club wielding woman of November 14, 2013, is somehow connected to the backhoe driving over my house incident.
Since the murder, 3 other different backhoes have invading my land to dig up my yard, looking for the grave of my son. There is a family cemetery on my land, the stones dating mostly in the 1500s and 1600s, with a few from the past hundred years, the most recent being my son in 2013. 146 Portland Ave has belonged to my family since 1530, and I inherited it in 1983 from my grandmother Helen Ricker Allen. The most recent backhoe attack happened September 19, 2020, when they illegally cut down several trees in my yard, and started construction of a road through my yard between my pink 1975 Dodge Sportsman motorhome and BackElder Brooke, again the backhoe digging up and destroying large portions of my farm, in their search for my murdered son's grave. They dug up 16 of the graves in this attack.
We have had to remove the grave markers from the family grave in order to stop these vandals and their illegally trespassing construction equipment from destroying the graves.
The FBI believes these construction crews are being hired by the golf club wielding women, and believe she is trying to destroy the grave of my son, due to a fear of his golf club smashed skull being used as court evidence against her.
The most recent attacks by these people occurred November 21, 2021 and March 27, 2022 when they attacked my painted Volvo while it was parked at my dad's apartment in Biddeford, both times the vandals also cut all the wires to electricity, internet, and cable off the apartment building, effecting all 9 families living there.
The Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford Police Departments as well as the Portland FBI are seeking any information regarding any and all of these attacks on my family, my home, my land, or my cars.

So, I was over on Reddit, you like I often am, and found this question. And answered it, like I do. However, the answer I initially gave was a simple generic answer. If you want to read my original answer unaltered, simply click on Reddit's embed feature links which Reddit provides for webmasters to be able to post their answers on their websites, while linking back to the original thread on Reddit (if you didn't know Reddit offered and encouraged the use of this feature, look for it in the "share" features underneath every post, comment, and reply on Reddit).
In any case, as with all of my Reddit answers found on my site here, my original post on Reddit is much shorter then the article here.
>>Should these words be capitalized (and what is the rule here?)
The rule depends on what type of English you are writing. It's different in different countries.
Uk/British English is the ACTUAL/OFFICIAL English language, so the only truly correct way to spell words and use grammar is if you are using UK/British English. However, as the bulk of Reddit users are Americans, you will notice that you have received a lot of (very incorrect) answers, being given to you as "correct grammar rules". These rules are correct only in America, where grammar rules are lazy, lax, and inconsistent.
There are more the 70 official types of English, each of which has different spellings and different grammar rules. A few of them are:
Each of these types of English has vastly different spellings and vastly different grammar rules, and none of these is incorrect. Yet, in America, where arrogance reigns supreme, you will be attacked viciously by people who call themselves "grammar nazis" if you use anything other then American English, in spite of the fact that American English, ironically is the version which strays the farthest from the original version (UK/British English) and has the least in common with ACTUAL English (aka UK/British English).
British English is the original, from whom which all other forms of English come from, so if you are a stickler for accuracy and what to know the actually official rules of the English language, then you want to look to UK/British English grammar rules.
But in any case, this is why you are seeing so many variations of answers being given to you be so many different people. Each answer you've been given, though different from each other answer, is actually a correct grammar rule for the type of English spoken by the person who gave you the answer.
So, when decided WHICH grammar rules to use, figure out what type of English it is that you are using every day, and then seek out the grammar rules for your chosen type of English, and use that.
If you are aiming to market your book to an American audience, you'll want to go with American English, which will make it easier on you, as American English is extreme informal and tosses out the window, most of the more strict rules of the English language.
If you are looking to market to the European and or Asian audience, then go with UK/British English, as it is the more universally used version of English, and the version of English taught in EVERY country outside of the United States. (UK English is the type taught in Canada and Mexico as well, American English is only taught in the United States and not in the rest of America.)
So, you have 3 options when writing your book:
Which road you take is entirely up to you and none of these choices is wrong.
>>Lycan (like werewolves. I originally thought "no" since we don't capitalize "humans" when writing. Just want to verify, because i've seen it done in paranormal and scifi books).
In American English, you would not capitalize names of races, species, ethnicities, and cultures, but in Ye Olde Medieval English, Canadian English, Irish English, Welsh English, and Scottish English you do.
In other words, a book written by an American, the spellings would look like this:
lycan, werewolf, vampire, human, elf, dwarf, gnome, fae, uruisg, bogey, each-usty, leprechaun, kelpie, phooka, aswang
But a Canadian, Irishmen, Welshmen, Scotsman, or someone in Medieval Europe, would spell those same words this way:
Lycan, Werewolf, Vampire, Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Fae, Uruisg, Bogey, Each-Usty, Leprechaun, Kelpie, Phooka, Aswang
Usually, if you see such words capitalized, it almost immediately id's the author as being from Canada, Ireland, Wales, or Scotland.
I am myself Scottish, so I grew up being taught to capitalize such words, and I was in my 30s first time I encountered writing that DID NOT capitalize such words. At first I thought the author was a self-pubbed kid who didn't know grammar and hadn't bothered to get their draft edited, but then later I found out that the rules of American English were DRAMATICALLY different from UK style English, and that American English grammar follows after French grammar and German grammar rules, and applies a blend of French and German rules of grammar to English words, which is rather odd, I think. Why doesn't American English use English grammar rules? I don't know.
Thus in my own books you see all races capitalized:
Anyways, this is why you see some books that do capitalize such words, but other books that don't capitalize such words. It depends on where the author is from and which type of English they are using.
If you pay attention to variations of spelling and grammar techniques, you can usually identify what country the author is from.
And, spelling and grammar rules change over time, so not only can you figure out what country and author is from, but also what year the book was written.
For example prior to the 1800s, pronouns were always capitalized. (If I wrote a sentence in which He said a lot of things to Her, You would see what I mean about how They used to capitalize pronouns that We today don't.)
Also in pre-Victorian grammar self-possessive items were capitalized with the self descriptive propoun. (For example My Horse is capitalized and so is Her Dog, as well as His Cat and Your Hamster, but the horse is not and neither is that dog, or this cat or those hamsters.)
So when reading books written in 1800s or earlier, you often see these types of spellings.
>>Words that in one context may mean something difference but in "my world" (that of the book) refers to a specific occasion or person. Example: Enforcer - which is a title.
Again, the same applies.
If you are American, you would not capitalize, because you are using a very informal, very lax style of grammar. If you are UK, you do capitalize because you are using a very formal, very proper and strict style of writing.
In my own series there is a group of renegade self-imposed law enforcement (sort of a malita), that has an actual name, but the people they hunt down, refer to them as "The Guild". Both word ('the' and 'guild') are capitalized in this instance. My logic for doing this is because The Guild is a specific group, thus I felt it should be capitalized.
>>Assembly (in my book it is used to refer to a specific gathering. Should it be capitalized when referring to the specific assembly that everyone knows means this specific occasion, or always lower case?).
That is the way I do it as well... capitalize the group/event, but not the general use of the word.
In the end, go with whatever grammar rules you were taught in school. And if you can't remember, do the way the "feels right" and makes the most sense for your story. As long as you are consistent with whatever way you choose, - being consistent to your chosen method, that is the thing that I think is most important.
