Cowkiller

I was playing my first new survival world after the caves & cliffs update. I took a long break from the game before that, so I had a lot of fun just building out a base, farming and discovering the awesome new caves! One of the first things I always do is get an animal farm going, since having wool and leather helps you out in the early game, and are still useful later on. I had a pen of what must have been like 20-30 cows at that point. I made them breed, and then it was time to chop-chop. I was using a diamond axe, so it didn't take very long either. Just before I was done though, my camera was pulled down very suddenly. 
I thought my mouse got disconnected or something, but the game actually was in third person view. Only the player wasn't in focus, it was one of the cow babies. I was pretty surprised, I never knew a bug like this could happen in the game. I was actually so mesmerized, that I didn't want to quit and reload, and was just savoring watching this little cow live its life for a while. I did get bored after some time, so I just started texting with some people from my phone while the game ran as background noise. I was almost completely disregarding the sounds that the mobs or anything made, so it took me a while to notice the noise of walking on stone. My first thought was that a creeper, or other monster came close to the pen or something, but I realized there was only grass in the general area. But what actually happened was way weirder. The little baby cow made its way out of the pen and down in a cave.
I was like ok, there is a very slim chance that I missed a fence, or maybe an enderman got it (if they can even pick up player placed blocks), but the cave looked like one of my stripmines, which was definitely on bedrock level. There's no explanation for how this cow could have gotten down there. Suffice to say, I was glued to the screen trying to figure out what was going on, and just plain curious what else could happen. In my head I was already telling the story of the runaway cow to one of my friends on discord. Then the cowling turned a corner, and was in a lit room. Now, the camera didn't really have any controls while I was in this state, but I could make out something that wasn't stone in the room. Still, I had to wait patiently for the cow to position itself in a way so that I could see what actually was there. Once I've seen it though, I got chills down my spine. On the walls was the word KILLER in what looked like smeared blood. 
While I was really put off by this, I kinda got what was going on. One of my friends must've retextured a painting, and installed some mod while I wasn't looking to mess with me. I didn't exactly recall them having an opportunity to mess with my PC, but it was a plausible explanation to me. I was ready to reinstall Minecraft at this point, but then the camera switched to another cowbaby. This one was still up on the surface in the pen. Some of the other cows have grown to adulthood at this point. It was actually pretty hard to see from the perspective of this smaller cow, but for the first time I could actually make out my player model beyond the cows. Only there was something wrong. Something was standing behind my avatar. At first I mistook it for a husk because of tje general color palette, but it wasn't that. It looked like if a cow carcass was made into a blockier minecraft model. It was standing straight, bones and hanging red flesh could be seen in gruesome detail. The eyes in the skull were a bright red. It was holding out its arms towards my avatar. Then with one hit I was dead, looking at death screen. The last thing I saw was that thing picking up my diamond axe and equipping it in its hand. 
I was beyond upset at this point, and was gonna give my friend an earful for the freaky shit he put into my game. I never quit Minecraft so quickly in my life. It took me a while to calm down, and I felt kinda ridiculous afterwards. I minimized the launcher, but then what welcomed me on my desktop was a close up picture of a cow skull having replaced my background. Any free space left was also occupied by text documents which were called like murderer.txt or stained.txt. Ngl, this was kind of my breaking point. I actually turned off my pc and went out of the house for a while. I just had to not think about what I've just seen for a couple of minutes. I called up my suspected friend, but he didn't know anything about what I told him. We started workshopping ideas for what could have happened, how could the mod have been installed without me knowing. How was it even doing stuff out of game? In the end, I never figured out what happened. When I came back my desktop was back to normal. Maybe my mom was more tech savvy than I gave her credit for, and she pulled a fast one on me? I was doubtful, but more relieved the whole thing was over. 
Still, I haven't opened the game after that. I was completely fine with just uninstalling and not thinking about it ever again. Thing is, the next morning when I went into my irl backyard to feed my dog, my dad's axe was missing. We do the occasional bbq at our house so we have it relatively close by next to our woodshed, but it was actually gone. I've been sleeping restless ever since this happened. Every so often, at night I can hear someone clumsily push on our doorhandle. I swear I heard the huffing of cows as well, but I'm not even sure anymore. I'm scared to be home alone, and try to have a friend over whenever my parents are away. I scoured every mod-forum I could find but noone knew about this cow-carcass thing from my game. At this point, I'd be happier if I made it all up. If it was a delusion, or a stunt I came up with for attention like my psychologist says. But I just know one of these days, that axe is coming for me the same way it did for all those cows. And there will be no mercy.
