Dont Poke the Bear is always Good Advice. A British Bigfoot researcher view of the subject

Image
I was chatting today with a lovely lady who i hope will become a good friend, we have similar ideas and thoughts on the British Bigfoot and as i watch this lady and many other newcomers being fed lines like “he's only in the US” or “people in the UK have no idea how to research” or my absolute Favourite “there is not enough land”  These are questions i have answered over and over, that cause argument and upset in groups and forums alike, i think this can all be answered very easily but some people are afraid of the controversy it would bring.  Well if you get one thing from me that's consistent, its that i speak the truth whether it costs me likes and clicks and subs. So here is my own take on it. In the UK we have a history of A Hairy Man of the woods who is natures caretaker and should be left alone, we have celebrations in his honour and many towns and cities are named for him.  In the United States the native Americans have a history of A Hairy Man of the ...

Llangollen Bear 2017

Image
I was contacted earlier in the week by a Gentleman Bushcrafter who is out and about in the Welsh Mountains, a regular outdoorsman who enjoys the land, her gifts and the animals that share it.  Earlier in the year i added an account to the British Bigfoot Research Map and data in which a couple travelling in the same area describe seeing an upright standing bear? The Couple said they saw what they described as a "bear with long forearms and walking on all fours" it came out of the hedge on the right hand side of the road. They also said it was as tall as a man when it stood up on its hind legs.   The couple were so convinced, they went around the area asking people if they had strange pets which had got loose somehow, they were certain that they had seen on a lonely Welsh mountain road an upright walking dark coloured fur covered bear? On reading this account Mikey describes seeing a similar creature when out in the same area,   He told me he hi...

The Corfe Photograph Easter 2013

Image
I received a message yesterday from a lovely lady who has given her details, but is unwilling at the moment to be named, which is very understandable here in the UK.  But as i assured her, she is among friends and we are happy to help in anyway we can, here's what  the lady had to say. I've had this picture on my phone since Easter 2013 when I went to Dorset to visit with family, we were staying  in a log cabin in the forest close to Corfe.   I have thought about it on and off since I saw this photograph in the holiday shots when i got home.  As I am a keen believer in the Wildman or Bigfoot, accounts from across the world but I never really thought about them being In this country until much more recently on hearing of other people experiences and i pondered as to what this could be on the photograph from that time in the woods four years ago. My son and my younger cousin had been playing in the woods surrounding the cabins, as kids do, and f...

Hassocks Hairy Face at the Window May 2017

Image
This account was emailed to Adam Bird and he kindly passed the details along to me, and with the witnesses permission i can happily share it with you all. Witness Account: I want to share with you an experience I had in May this year while I was holidaying in Brighton,  but we were sleeping in our caravan in Coleman's Caravan Park in Hassocks.  Everything went well and on the Tuesday, which was the second night of our holiday, we had decided to have an early night, we went to bed and had been settled down for about a half hour when I heard this strange ruffling sound outside the caravan. The campground is quite small and private and we were sleeping with the curtains open. When i opened my eyes to see what was making the noise i got a shock as i looked to the window is when I saw this “thing” looking into the van at us.  It was not doing anything but It was just stood there looking in and watching us in bed. It shocked me so i turned and I woke up my...

Can i ask you a question?

Image
I have been asked the same questions recently by a number of people and although i can not speak for all of the UK researchers and witnesses and the people with an interest in the subject, it think many of us are here for the same reason, it's really easy for me to answer them all here in the hopes of dispelling the myths.  The first question i am usually asked is. If i tell you my experience do i have to give my name and details   Anything that is shared with me and added to the map and blog is done so with the witnesses permission. Many people are happy to be named and add their account to the map, some would prefer to remain anon and others just want to share and to keep things secret for now, and there are many witnesses like this, who are not yet ready to come forward but watch from the sidelines what we all do and slowly build the courage to share.  What is most important to me is that people have a place to share, where they will be listened too by others w...

Slieveanorra Howls and Dogs Scared 2017

Image
A wildlife photographer out on a visit to the area with her partner and their three dogs had an experience over a couple of days this week that may hint at there being more to this forest than we first believed.  Witness Account: .Myself, my Partner and the 3 dogs went to an area of Slieveanorra forest at around 4.30pm this evening (14/7/17)...It was raining quite heavily, and we were walking one of our usual routes and we hadn't gone far into the forest when we heard what sounded like a howl of some kind, It was not a noise i was happy to hear as  im out in the forests often and it was so eerie, in fact  Roxy my German Shepherd barked loudly at it. At this point the "howl" sounded quite close to us, but we couldn't make out the source of the noise or what was making it.  A few seconds later the same "howl" sound occurred again only this time it sounded further away....there were four further "howls" in succession after the first one, so five in al...

New Maldon The Greenman Face 2007

Image
This account was brou ght to my attention by Michael Applebee and was printed in Fortean Times written by Nick Skerten from London: Nick Skerten:   One summer afternoon in 2007, I was returning from central London and my train had spent a few too many minutes idling at the platform in New Malden station. Lost in thought, I had been looking out of the window at nothing in particular when I suddenly saw something that made me gasp out loud. At the far end of the London-bound platform is a thick bank of trees and shrubs behind a fence. I was astonished to see what appeared to be an enormous face made up of the surrounding foliage looming out at the opposite platform and looking very similar to the typical appearance of the ‘Green Man’, as seen in church carvings. The face was about 5ft (1.5m) in diameter and about 7ft (2m) or so from the ground. I was amazed how perfect the face seemed to be-though at the same time I knew it was just my brain demonstrating its k...

The Hunchback of Park Lime Pits 70's

Image
Hi Deborah. I've been watching your recent video concerning the Woodmill Hairy thing and it has jogged a memory i had from my childhood. I grew up in the village of Rushall just outside Walsall  which has quite a lot of greenbelt fields and woodland. I used to love walking in a particular area called Park Lime pits which was a lime quarry but now a nature reserve, the quarry has now been filled with water and stocked with plenty of fish.  Around 40 years ago children would go and play in the woods there -alas children had more freedom then.  One girl in my class told me about something that happened to her brother and his friend when they had stayed out longer than they should have, and it was getting dark when they came across what they described as a hunch backed man walking along the railway embankment. They described the figure as raggy, dirty and unkempt and he was breathing heavily. She said her brother and his friend ran away and were genuinely very fr...

Thetford Forest, "i was being shadowed by something i could not see.

Image
The Witness contacted myself on Youtube after seeing an earlier video i had made about the strange cluster of accounts in the Thetford Forest Area and he was reminded of something similar that happened to him in the same area as the earlier accounts, here is what the witness had to say. I live in the Thetford forest area very near to the other Thetford sightings and have seen some rather strange things whilst out walking in the area. Once a few years ago i was out walking and i had the feeling i was not alone and that i was being stalked whilst out from something in the bushes i could not see.  I realised that in the high shrubs and grass something was moving alongside me and keeping up step for step. No matter how hard i looked i could not see or make out whatever it was as the bracken and underbrush had grown so high that year due to heavy rainfall in the spring.  It was around chest height and  something quite large was moving close by without to much trouble keepi...

Thetford Walking Figure and The Figure Crossing The Lane

Image
I live quite close to Thetford Forest and have over the years had a couple of strange experiences whilst out in the Forest itself and i wanted to share them with you. First Experience: The first  thing that happened to me, happened when I stayed outdoors overnight by the river Little Ouse. We had canoed up stream from Santon Downham until we reached the weir and river gauging station. We drifted back downstream a little to a suitable location to pull the canoe out of the water and with suitable trees to set up our hammocks for the night.  We walked until we were far off the beaten track and decided we would set up camp for the night in the spot we found.  It was about 02:00 hrs when we settled into our hammocks to get some sleep.  All was quiet and then we both heard slow and deliberate movement that approached us, we both asked each other at the same time "Is that you?" and we both answered "No, I thought it was you moving!?!?" We remained silent and ...
