Well today was a quick search of Nuney Green, zone 1, my favourite area or old stomping ground. It’s New Year and I thought a quick visit was in order just to show my furry friends last year was not a one off but part of an ongoing process; my ultimate goal is to finally somehow get a Werewolf close enough and take some photos which I hope will show irrefutable proof of these guys. How I do this or how I get them to come to me in a friendly fashion is still a work in progress.



The ancients could do this, so could the early Christians, as they used them as a form of protection and intimidation when converting so called pagan towns to the faith. Anyway, as usual I took some photos but I did find a cruciform on the ground in the wood, I’ve never seen this before, but a very interesting find. Search time 13.10 to 13.40 hours.

Well today, it wasn’t too bad, I searched Nippers Grove which is near Gallows Tree Common and is to a certain extent a part of Nuney Green woods, along with Valentine woods. I found some pine trees which had been stripped of their branches and looked as though they had been used as some sort of bedding, but I can’t be 100% sure. I saw a couple of people out walking or running with their dogs, but no horse riders or mountain bikers.

I had a good day, I found some thing’s which I think are worthy of a future visit, but after about two hours I decided to head back to the car and call it a day, but as I was approaching the main road I realised I wasnt alone, I was being followed by something to my rear right, I could hear its steps and every time I stopped it stopped, this carried on for about two or three minutes, something was parallel to me in the growth and was matching my steps, but it stopped as I got nearer the road, so I suppose whatever it was had lost interest?
Search time, 12.10 to 13.40 hours.

Secondary action
Quick trip to zone 1, nothing much but I had a walk around. Search time 13.45 to 14.00 hours.
General

As I mentioned earlier I did find some things I felt were worth a re-visit. In Nippers Grove and Valentine wood, I found some of the trails and paths had been closed off with trees pushed over the pathway as if trying to form some sort of road block, I found this of interest, and also I found a tree pushed over across a dirt pathway wide enough for a 4X4 to drive along, again as if blocking the way.

This is something I have found myself and it is new to my area, this is from my personal research data and was taken 21/1/18 I found three of the main path ways covered with bent and twisted trees, now it could be wind I hear you cry and you are correct, I found it a strange coincidence that the one way left accessible was the one I use to visit the wood.  Wishful thinking on my part. but worth noting none the less.  Do you have any blocked off areas in the woods you walk, if so I would love to hear about them.

Zone 2
A lot of new activity today, I saw at least two big trees that were pushed over and also a large pile of Fir tree branches on the ground, almost as if arranged in some sort of bedding or maybe for some other purpose? I also noticed some of the trees have had their bark stripped off as well?  As I walked the area I also found what looked like two makeshift shelters?  I have found out recently someone has bought a patch of the wood in zone 2 and is building a log cabin, his property has been fenced off and judging by the damage around the fence line something has not taken kindly to this. Im unsure what the "structures" I found are and I would welcome any input from the readers.

When I was searching the area I saw an old Lady walking a small dog, but just before she appeared on the path, I saw a large grey canine off to my right moving with some speed, I nearly filled my pants thinking "this was it, a face to face at last"  as my mind is scrabbled I keep my eyes peeled on the approaching grey bulk? Thankfully as it came closer I realised it was a grey huge Irish Wolf Hound walking with the old Lady, despite my high hopes and fear, I was in a way relieved that it was normal Dog.

Zone 1
In this zone, I feel there were signs of activity, and some odd looking new dens and the atmosphere was deathly quiet and the old feeling of being watched was back as well.  I also heard some steps off to my rear, to the far left as I searched around the zone but, I couldn’t see anything and even when I looked at the photos on my phone later on I couldn’t see much. I thought on one photo I could see something but it was well hidden in the branches of a tree so I can’t be too sure. In all I saw some new things and I feel as though the gang are coming back, a good day indeed.

Coedwig Forest
Search time- 12.45 to 14.30 hours



This area was very interesting, a lot of Pine/Fur trees. Coedwig Forest is situated at the end of Blackvein Road, Crosskeys in Wales. The road splits into two, I parked the car on the left side of the split and my Wife and I proceeded on foot along a dirt road. We walked along the road until we started getting the feeling we were being watched, we then walked off the road into the forest near Cwmfelinfach (This looks like a Farm on Google Maps but you can see the Forest directly below the open fields) Now this was a thick Pine/Fur tree area and we found a lot of trees with the bark stripped off and triangular shapes, I found some Canine prints in various sizes and a hole that had been dug a small amount of faeces had been left in the bottom , no Human foot prints at all, so no one had been walking a Dog and decided to answer a call of nature. We took a lot of photos and on one of them we found what looked to me like a large Canine head peering over a tree stump looking at us, my Wife twice got freaked out wanting to leave the area that day but I said no, not yet and persuaded her to stay.

Photo taken by Mike of "werewolf" head peeking over the grass.

And so it was on the second time she got scared that she took the photo on her mobile phone and there looking at us was a furry friend, as we entered this part of the Forest we had a feeling we were being followed, I heard some steps to our right, it was the usual shadowing, as we walked, "it" followed, we stopped and "it" stopped and as usual no sound whatsoever, no Bird song, nothing!

Cmwran Forest
Search time -14.45 to 15.50 hours
After Coedwig Forest we drove to Cmwran Forest, this has a Tourist Visitor Centre and a campsite. We stopped for a bite to eat and then conducted a small reconnaissance of the surrounding area and this shows a lot of promise, so it is definitely worth a return trip. 

Machen
After leaving Cmwran we drove over to Machen, which was a 15 minute drive. As we entered the Village, the Woods are situated on the side of a hill and they showed of extensive logging, so we decided to call it a day and returned to our Hotel where we stayed for one night, we got back at 17.00 hours.



It was really worth the trip and Coedwig Forest seems to be the place and it has been marked as a sighting area The Dogman of  Mount Snowdon area in 2016 and The Plas Dol Y Moch Giant Ape Creature in 1966. So I will be returning for future trips. My next trip will be to Foxley Woods in Norfolk.

I left Reading at 06.30 am and arrived at Foxley Woods in Norfolk at around 09.20 hrs, and I had the first crisis of the day even before I got started,  on pulling up and getting my kit out I realised I had forgotten my boots, but I wasnt coming all this way for nothing so thank god the ground was still partially frozen so I could at least access some areas. The Wood itself is very big and has a wide compact dirt road running through the middle which has smaller dirt tracks running left and right off the main dirt road. Some sections of the Wood are used as a nature reserve and at least one section of the Wood is used for commercial timber.

I started by walking all the to the end of the Wood using the main dirt road and then walking back up to the larger main road, as I was on the way I would take one of the many side dirt tracks and looked around, then head back to the main path, this way I could be certain I didn't miss anything in the sections of the the Wood.  The Wood itself is very dense in some areas with ground shrub and brambles and it is hard to access. Now at the beginning of my search the Birds were singing, the Wood was just full of sound, but that changed after five or ten minutes everything went deathly quiet and the usual sense of being watched came over me, on several occasions I had a desire to keep turning around and checking my rear but I couldn’t see anything but I definitely had the feeling I was being watched. That day I just kept having a feeling something was looking at me and I couldn't see it.  I found myself keep looking to my rear, im not to sure why, but when I sat down for coffee and sandwiches my gut feeling was to keep looking at the reeds and grassy area.  I kept my eyes on it the whole time.



Now I decided to head back, as I got towards the main road and the turn in for the main car park I realised this area was quite busy?  This section of the Wood had the most activity, it was here I took a lot of photos (This time I had a proper camera with me). And due to the lack of footwear the ground was making it hard going for me. I couldn’t go all the way in and the fact that the ground was beginning to thaw as the Sun rose higher in the sky made things worse, but suffice to say, Foxley Wood is very much worth a re-revisit, the Wood has for sure something in it.
It is around this time of year that many of the smaller woods although quiet will start to be visited again. As the new food comes in and the weather gets milder we will see many foragers out looking for new spring food, this brings the Deer as it get closer to birthing season they too will come down from their high grounds in the search of safe grazing and cover.  I hope this brings Mike many more experiences out there with the Wolves.  I will be bringing you the Plas Dol Y Moch Giant Ape Creature 1966 and The Dogman of Mount Snowdon 2016 by a TV researcher in the area.

Area- Sirhowy Forest, near Crosskeys Wales
Weather- Clear, dry with scattered cloud cover
Temp- 12.5c
Start time- 11.00 hrs - 13.00 hrs
Today's visit will be to Sirhowy Forest near Crosskeys in Wales.  I left Reading at around 09.15 am and arrived in Crosskeys at 10.45 am. I started walking up the road towards Sirhowy Forest at 10.50 am and after a good 5 minutes I reached the first Public Footpath that leads into the Forest, which led me up a 70 meter or more incline to the top of a very steep slope.
When I reached the top I sat down for a cup of coffee and some sandwiches, on a tree stump and after about 15 to 20 minutes the Birds stopped singing and sure enough the whole area went quiet, at this point I had a strong urge to keep looking to my right, and this was when I heard a very deep throated growl that came from my left, which had me turning left quickly and almost jumping with fright trying to see where the growl had come from.



I repeated to myself the mantra of ‘I’m only here to look, observe and research I’m not here to hurt or steal any food’. I kept looking in the direction of the growl and I think I saw the side of a canine looking head peering around a tree looking at me, but I couldn’t be sure, I took some photos (Alas it seems this creature was not captured in the photo).

I left behind a ham sandwich and a sausage roll as a peace offering, just in case! and I decided to move on along the footpath where my Wife and I had been earlier in the year back in February.  After some time I reached an area which had some fallen trees arranged in a large rectangular enclosure of sorts, the trees had been placed end to end with an opening for something of which I was not sure to enter? Moving further along I came to the end of this stretch of the Forest where it was divided by a wire fence, but something had decided to push at least 4 trees over thus flattening and destroying the fence allowing easy passage in between the next section of the Forest and the one section I was standing in. After walking around this area for several minutes I decided to call it a day and walk back to the car.

PS: Before I started out, I did my usual mantra of ‘I’m not here to harm or hurt or take your food etc’ I’ve recently started a new mantra of ‘I’m here and I come in friendship so if you want to find me, come along’. Now when I do this give it 15 to 20 minutes and it seems to me they will come along and find you, how and why they can do this, I have no idea.

Area- Hampstead Norreys Wood
Weather- Dry but overcast
Temp- 5.5c
Start- 12.10hrs - 13.05hrs
Today I decided to search a new area of a stretch of woods that runs parallel with the M4 Motorway. This area is called Hampstead Norreys Wood (Not the actual Village of the same name), I’d seen a structure of sorts when I drove back from south Wales along the M4, so I thought I’d make that point of interest and go and have a look. 

It took me about 50 minutes to find the wood and a place to park, I got set up and went off on my walk.  I walked into the wood and almost straight away I noticed this location was a place of some sort of activity, not sure which type of Cryptid had made the signs, but it had bent over trees, den like structures and something I’d never seen before, trees placed on the ground at angles to each other or placed alongside each other either with ferns growing over the tree trunks or actually placed on top literally covering the whole area, this happened in at least two locations in the wood, but I’m not sure if this is natural or deliberate? This kind of feature actually stood out and impressed me!

Nuney Green
Start- 13.52hrs - 14.50hrs
After spending nearly an hour in Hampstead Norreys Wood I drove over to Nuney Green and decided to search an area I had not been to since December 2016,  here I actually got a photo of what to me looks like a Werewolf sticking a part of its head out at the top of a tree, this thing was inside a den. Anyway when I got there the same den was still very much intact and looked as though it was still in use, I also found a new structure as well (I took some photos of this item) But the big find of the day was some prints that were about a size 14, I’m a size 11, the prints had a stride of about 46 inches, and a big pile of natural waste. The prints looked fresh but I looked around hoping to get a look of the creature that made them, alas I couldn’t see or find the culprit in question. Overall it was a good day, it seems like my furry friends are back but are more elusive than ever.


Weather- Clear and sunny

Temp- 4c

End 07.20 hrs
Some activity, in what I used to call zone 2 (Training area). I think it might be Wildman and not the usual suspects. As there were a lot of tree sign (Took some photos) and saw three deer, but, I also saw something else of which I’m not sure. Firstly I heard some sounds to my left, this is when I saw the deer, so I didn’t think anything else of it, but a few minutes later there was the sound of something moving to my left and it wasn’t deer, so I stopped. I knelt down and about 50 meters to my front was a dark shape using the cover of the tree and shadow cast by the canopy of the tree to hide, the shape was a lot darker than the tree but I couldn’t make it out clearly, so I decided to move toward it during which time it moved off to the right and disappeared back into cover. I walked over to the area where it had been but I couldn’t see a trail of where "it" had retreated to. During the whole time the birds kept singing which reassured me, so maybe it was a Wildman and not the usual furry friend.



Weather- Overcast, warm (It had rained hard during the morning hours)
Temp- 13.5c
Start- 13.35 hrs
End- 15.15 hrs
Today I visited the rear section of Nuney Woods, zone 2; this is where I had seen the figure/shape from the 18.5.2018. Well today’s visit had a big surprise for me trees just piled on top of one another almost like a balancing act; really quite a bizarre sight to see. I found two dens and at least one of these dens was in current use. I did my usual sit down and waited 15/20 minutes and the birds slowly went quiet, sure enough I started to have the feeling of being watched from my front and to my left. Normally I feel nervous or have a slight case of the jitters but today I felt safe, not a false sense of safety but really safe (Not sure why?).  I stayed sat down for a good 40 minutes or so but after a while I decided it was time for home, overall a very good afternoon.

Area- Rear section of Nuney Woods
Weather- Dry, overcast with occasional cloud cover
Temp- 15.5c
Start- 14.55 hours
Finish- 16.10 hours
I returned to the same area in Nuney Woods with the Den, of which I’m pretty sure now is still in use, this time I had the strong feeling something was home. I had a good look around after several minutes I decided to sit down and have some coffee and a sausage roll and try my new working practice of wait and see. After some time off to my front right at about 100 meters something black was in the bushes using a tree as cover behind it, I got my small pocket binoculars out and tried to see if anything was hiding in the bushes, well with hands shaking I could see something but I didn’t want to get any closer.

My next search area was across the road in the last part of the Wood, to be honest I had never seen this area, so this was my first time in this section. At least two thirds of the wood was used for logging but of supreme interest was a large section that had not been touched, it was over grown and had a line of trees placed end to end on the ground almost like a boundary marker, it was here that I found a wonderful tripod like structure that had me captivated but im not sure who or what built it. After looking at the photos of the den and the furry friend in the bushes I can say today I feel I had one Werewolf to my front right and another one behind in the den. The odd experience and feeling that I’ve had today and on my recent visits, is that I don’t feel just tolerated anymore but accepted, not enough though to be invited for afternoon tea, but I’m sure the time may come when something like this might happen! And the really strange thing is that I have a constant feeling to visit or to be near them, I must admit I have offered an open invitation for them to follow me home, I know for some this is a really dumb idea, but I feel for some reason (for me though) this is the right thing to do! But I can’t explain why I feel I need to do this?



Area- Southery Wood, near Bardney
Weather- Clear sky, warm and sunny
Temp- 15.5c
Time- 09.20am-11.30am
I set out from Reading at 05.30am and arrived at Southery Wood, south of Bardney at 09.15am. After gathering my stuff I entered the Woods at 09.20am at a section of Wood next to a field. Upon entering the Wood I turned right and preceded along a footpath, after about 10 minutes something caught my eye and as I turned left a tall black figure was peering around a tree at me but I couldn’t make out if it was a Humanoid or a large Canine, because it quickly moved behind the tree and disappeared. I decided to follow but I couldn’t see anything or hear anything, I did find some large prints and much to my surprise I found a man made lean-to with a handmade single bed, it was big enough for one person and it looked as though it had been made recently, I didn’t take any photos, it seemed wrong to invade the persons space. The footpath skirts the outside of the Woods but the interior of the Wood is densely overgrown with thick bush and marshy ground in some places. 

The Wood itself is intersected with ravines and streams. There were a lot of Blue Bell patches; it was near one of these patches that I found some more prints. There was a lot of tree sign which suggested something was living in the Woods. Now the strange thing was on two occasions I was defiantly being watched but I couldn’t see what or who it was, when I got home and I looked through my pictures and saw a Canine head at the bottom right side of a tree looking up at me, now at the time I didn’t see it, so this has led me to a theory of sorts because this has happened on some occasions where the birds are singing but the Werewolves are cloaked but when they are in the flesh everything stops, birds etc. So my thinking is now when they are cloaked the birds etc carry on as if nothing is happening but when they are in their flesh and blood state the birds stop singing and everything goes deadly silent.

Overall the day was well spent and Southery Wood is definitely an area of interest. I also carried out some local visits to Sulham Wood and Nuney Green; these trips were carried out on the 15.4.2018 and the 22.4.2018. Sulham Wood is a new area near Reading which is full of potential and will be re-visited in the near future.
