This is just a simple slideshow (I don't own a video camera!) showing some of the many sights that fascinate me so much during my daily forest walk.

I Encountered a Six-Foot Dogman in a German Forest. Was it a Benandanti?

Sightings of 'Dogmen or Doglike Humans' have been around since the dawn of time, with a daily dose of film Images of Hammer House of Horror Killers or the Death Shucks of Old it is no wonder we see every encounter as an attack, but as we learn more about the Phenomena behind these Beings or at least try to understand it somehow, there are reports of these Wolf headed men that seem to be the opposite of popular thought. There are many reports worldwide of attacks and kills by these Creatures throughout history and in modern times, we hear of them on Podcasts and TV, Popular film culture, Books and Video footage, ever more violent and to some thrilling. But 'they' are not all reported to be killers and predators.

Delamere Forest is the largest area of woodland in Cheshire. The name means Forest of the Lakes. It is 2,400 acres. Delamere Forest is what is left of two important ancient forests known as Mara and Mondrem. These medieval forests stretched from the Mersey to the north, to Nantwich to the south, to Gowy to the west and Weaver to the east with a host of Rivers and streams interconnecting throughout the vast ancient woodland. Historians believe the forest was used by Anglo Saxons for hunting. But the history of this area can be traced back much further to the Iron Age man. At the top of Eddisbury Hill, near Delamere Station there is what we know believe is an Iron Age fort which historians believe was rebuilt by Ethelfelda's workforce in year 914. It is written in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle that she established a fort at Eddisbury (Ethelfelda was also known as Lady of the Mercians who ruled Mercia in the English Midlands from 911 until her death in 918)

I have been asked this week about the British Dogman accounts, and i have to admit like most people i know very little about them.  I have heard many theories and ideas on who and what they are, i myself am unsure and don't feel qualified to answer the question, but what i can do i think is to share the reports i have, and anyone wanting to research them can then do so as they wish.  It is a tricky subject here in the UK due to the odd lie and exaggeration by some untrustworthy people, but when the truth is told, this amounts to nothing more than hearsay and half truths. And leaves us with valid witness accounts just like the Wildman accounts that come in. The people with the accounts are the ones we should listen too, and like all subjects it is easy to fear the unknown and to demonise the things we don’t understand. It’s by opening up to all the possibilities that we can start to pick away at the truths, like the Wildman research, we can only go off what we see and he...
