Deborah Hatswell - BBR Investigations

This next Witness Report is written by the witness herself, in her own words. Deborah Singleton is happy to be named. Deborah is a BBR member and is happy to chat her experiences she has had through life. Like me Deborah has searched for other witnesses to the Strange and Paranormal.  My  Hubby and I were visiting friends who live about 50 miles away from us at the other side of York. I was the designated driver that night, so I was on soft drinks all evening. It was around 1:30am when we set off home - Hubby was rather inebriated, so he fell asleep 5 minutes into the journey! I was driving along the A64 home, the fog was rolling in off the fields, in large thick patches, which would suddenly clear and then return.

Below are a number of images taken in woodlands all across the UK. A single stick pushed into the ground usually pointing in the direction of the next stick in the series. We have no explanation for these strange finds. If you know what they are or what they represent please get in touch.

Original Source   A FARMER who discovered the half eaten carcass of a newborn calf in his field is convinced the killing was the work of a big cat, such as the suspected Durham Puma. When Brett Forrest checked the livestock at his family’s farm near  Spennymoor , County Durham, yesterday morning (Thursday, May 19) he noticed one of his Salers cows had given birth but the calf was motionless on the ground.  He described what he then saw as ‘like a scene from the Serengeti’. Mr Forrest said: “At first I thought it had been stillborn but I got close and saw it had been completely obliterated.  “There was a big bite mark on the back of its neck, its insides had been taken, its pelvis was missing and flesh off its back legs.  “Cattle are creatures of habit and are usually out in the field but they were all next to the hay shed, it was like they were cowering together or hiding.”

Witness Account from Francois de Sarre I'm from the States. We've been over here for exactly two years since 2000. We live just outside of Blackburn in the Ribble Valley. I've always had a fascination for these Hominid creatures. I've had visuals only in the western part of the states. Every State and province (Canada) has them, except Wash. D.C. They're known by many names in the US, but the most common two names are BF and Sasquatch. To find them here in the UK was a surprise to say the least. i made this report to the BRFO in 2002 i thought you may be interested to read it. Whalley/Clitheroe. Place: Longridge Fell. Time: Late afternoon 3-4 pm Location Details: This is private land with public paths meandering through dense forest. The path that we took started at a car park I believe at the north end. There was only one car park that I could find in the whole area. It was cut out of the dense forest. There is another car park way down south off the same road, but...

Hi Deborah, First of all thank you for allowing me to share my experience. What follows is my true account of what happened to myself and my friend Andy in late August early September of 2011. I have attached two images one is a map of Bonaly with a RED X marking the camping spot and the other is a picture of the reservoir with a RED x marking the camping spot there. My Encounter: Late August early September 2011 I've been an avid camper most of my adult life and I have a small group of close friends that I go into the Pentland hills with, we usually go to the south of Edinburgh in the, 'Green Belt' but on this occasion it was just me and my mate Andy. The focus of the trip was to get to our camping spot (just North East of Bonaly Reservoir) and enjoy the very rare warm weather and have a couple of cans, a fire, some good food and enjoy being in nature for a few days The hike from the bus stop in Bonaly is quite arduous as you are climbing several hundred feet in all ar...

My best friend and I were big night hiking fanatics, and decided to go to one of our usual hiking locations just outside of the Phoenix area. We picked up two of our friends for company, and away we went. We arrived at our destination somewhere between 9:00PM to 2:00AM. We parked our truck near the main road, but far enough into our recreational area where it could not be seen from the road, so no one would think the truck was abandoned. Close to where we parked and bordering the North side of this riparian area is a CAP canal, and bordering the South 3/4 of a mile is a major road. That night we would be hiking through the Northern half of it, and cover 2 to 3 miles to the East. We all walked down the canal road and left it after a while, to hike through small trails with sections of dense vegetation. On our way back we returned on the canal road, following it back to the truck. As we were walking, my three friends became very boisterous, reminiscing about old times, and even sin...

Worldwide statistics on those who go missing can be fairly difficult to establish as there are many countries who simply either don’t report the cases or don’t make the information public. Specifically, most developing countries in places such as Africa, Asia and Latin America don’t seem to be recording these incidents properly. However, with that being said experts have been able estimate that approximately 8 million children go missing each year around the world (1. Trackimo.com, Emily Moore, 27 July 2017). If adults were to be included into the equation, it’s not clear by how much that number would rise. It’s worth pointing out though that far more individuals under the age of 21 seem to go missing than those above 21. In 2019 the United States stated that 161,108 people over the age of 21 went missing while 448,090 under that age went missing. It’s worth pointing out that the vast majority of these incidents are solved in one way or another, but of course, there are occasions whe...

Andy is a driver who drives the roads of the UK. On a number of deliveries he saw something impossible to explain. Likened to the 'predator movie' Andy saw something moving up the trunk of the tree, but whatever he saw seemed to be 'cloaked' in some way. After the first event he repeated the journey in the hopes of finding an explanation, and on a number of occasions he saw 'It' again. Seeing a creature can be a terrifying and confusing event, seeing something in stealth mode moving through the trees is impossible to describe. How do you put into words the prismatic "thing" before your eyes, that looks like it is refracting the light or mirroring its surroundings.

There were strange and ghostly goings-on at a semi-detached council house on Grimsby’s Nunsthorpe Estate back in 1977. It was, perhaps, not the likeliest place to find supernatural manifestations. But for John Routledge, his wife Doreen and their four daughters, who lived in the property in Caistor Drive, it was all very real – and very spooky. All the girls and their mother had been touched by the presence, they claimed, and at times had been kicked and punched in the back, both inside the house and in the garden. And they all claimed to have seen the apparition. It’s black, with sort of spikes around its head, and it has red eyes,” the 12-year-old Carol told a visiting reporter at the time. The family first noticed odd occurrences about two years earlier when they found bedclothes rumpled whenever the house was empty. Their dog was the first to get the blame, but when they found out that the disturbances took place even when the dog was shut in the...

Another inspiring video by BBR member Louie Chidwick. This may give any new researchers an idea of what to look out for when in the woods.  If you come across any anomalies like these that can not be easily explained take some image shots from all angles.  And also from the 'find' itself looking outwards.

I lived on Coyote Creek Road in Wolf Creek Oregon, and used to spend summer days at a popular, isolated swimming hole about 12 miles out a dirt road that ran between Wolf Creek and the Rogue River. We called it the "Jesus Saves" swimming hole after some graffitti sprayed on the rocks. In mid summer I was there with a friend, we were the only people in sight. I was washing my hair in the creek and looking up between my legs I saw a head peeking over a fallen log about 60 feet up the hill behind me, slightly to my left. Though I spent much time alone in the woods, this felt really creepy to me. My first reaction was to stand up and yell thinking a "peeping tom" was sneaking up to take a peak as this was a skinny dipping hole and my friend and I were following that fine tradition. As I stood and turned quickly, the head slunk down to disappear behind the log. Instantly I had these simultaneous impressions: this large round head with brownish hair (features were...

Thank you to Theo Paijmans for the information included here.  On a chilly December night in 1994 25-year-old Rienk de Jong and his uncle and aunt were driving in his car through the Belgian quarter in his hometown Jubbega in Friesland. It was a deserted stretch of road, with a ditch and meadows, a single line of trees and the occasional farmhouse. It was dark because street lighting was sparse. Suddenly a giant figure burst from out of nowhere and right towards his car.  The car was slowly pressed to the ground as if something huge and heavy had climbed on the back of the car. De Jong pressed the gas pedal, but the car crawled only slowly ahead. Eventually he got rid of the enormous, monstrous thing. In utter panic De Jong went straight to the police where he blurted out his story. The police took him seriously and immediately went to the spot to investigate, but they found no trace of the mysterious and frightening creature. Sources: ‘Jubbegaster Ziet re...
