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.

At that time even more were going missing and only the bones, skin and fleece were ever found. It was almost like a feeding station or an animal boneyard.

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.

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)
