Deborah Hatswell - BBR Investigations

I Have Lived In So Many Haunted Houses – MY: Witness Report: “ Dear Deborah, it’s been a while since I first touched base with you, I thought I would share some of my experiences that your listeners may enjoy. As you know I enjoy your content and I'm ready to share my story with everyone. Back in 1990 when I was seventeen, nearly eighteen years old, I moved into a shared house in a small rural town called Lewes, situated just outside the coastal town of Brighton in the south of England. The house had four floors to it; the basement floor had the kitchen and sitting room leading to the back door and a lane to the train station. The first floor had my small bedroom, two toilets and a bathroom with a hallway to the front door and staircase to the upper floors and a second set of stairs that passed my room. The second set of stairs led down to the basement. Then the second floor had two bedrooms and a second set of stairs up to a converted loft space which was converted to another b...

"When I was a young boy of about age 6 or 7 I saw a shadow being. I seem to think it was likely 1978 when I was age 6. I was living in a place called Portsdown Park, which was on Portsdown Hill, Portsmouth, Hampshire. Portsdown Park was completely demolished in 1986 because all the buildings were made with poor quality material. It was in the middle of the night in a bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I had woken up and the room was dark. The being was laying face up on top of my sister's bed which was only a few feet away from my bed. I could see the facial profile, particularly the nose, as the being was looking straight up at the ceiling. My sister's bed had square headboards at both ends. The Shadow being must have been about 7 foot tall as its head was on the pillow, and its legs were hanging over the bottom headboard. I noticed it had a short, cropped ponytail. I called over to my sister, but I could only see the being. It turned its head to look at me. That te...

A man from Utah who is tracing his family lineage came across a strange connection to a possible Cryptid report here in the UK. Eddington Cambridgeshire is not known in modern times as a place of supernatural significance, in fact it is a busy town filled with the hustle and bustle of daily life. But many years ago, down the halls of time there was a strange experience noted by the scholar and it was shared with me by a gentleman who lives in the US who was tracing his ancestors in the UK. Whilst doing so he came across a written text from the 1800's scribed by the LDS that would fit with many of the strange Screams, Howls, Wails and Growls many people report hearing here in the UK in our very modern times. I have known this chap for many years now and he has an interest in the Cryptid subject so he was excited when he found this historical report. Stephen Huls:  I was reading some family history this morning, We use Family Search, which is a data base linked with the Church of Jes...

The witness in this cases contacted me back in January of 2021 to share a horrid experience that took place in her home in the Grimsby area of Yorkshire. DM: " Hi Debbie,  I’ve been listening to your YouTube videos and wondering whether you’d be interested in hearing of my experience.  It was sometime in 2012, I arrived home in Sleaford with my youngest daughter after visiting my other daughter and her husband in Grimsby. We’d been gone a few days and my son who was 20 at the time was looking after our 3 cats. When I got to the front door I noticed it wasn’t locked and all the lights in the house were on. I went inside and looked upstairs to see if my son was there as I was going to ask why all the lights were left on like that. As I looked up there was a dark figure in the bathroom at the top of the stairs, I called my son’s name but something was odd, I knew it wasn’t him. I didn’t take my eyes off this black figure, (no features just pure black) and started walking upstairs...

I was recently contacted by a gentleman named Steve who is from the Lincolnshire area who wanted to share two experiences that he had over the span of 25 years. Steve chatted with me in a private call and he was kind enough to allow me to tape our conversation. He is happy for me to share his interview and his experiences with you all. Steve was able to sketch the creature he saw in 1994. Steve described the creature he saw as a Wildman. The creature Steve saw was standing between a pond in the field and the road. There is a drainage ditch that leads to and from the area.   In the same area in 2019 Steve experienced something strange on the same stretch of road as he saw a dark figure move behind a brick building in the cemetery. In tonight's interview with Steve he explained both events that happened close to station road. Steve: “ It was Sunday 17th July 1994 when I saw the strange wildman creature. I am a DJ and ex radio host and I consider myself a very confident person. T...

BBR Listener Earth Smoke: " I had a weird experience myself on New Year’s Eve in 1999 that I’d like to share with you Deborah. That year I went home to Ireland to spend Christmas with my family. It was nothing unusual, the typical family stuff. Anyway, New Year’s Eve came around and I got a bit bored with the TV, so just before midnight, I fancied going outside for a walk. I didn’t walk that far, I just trudged through the snow down to the little crossroads about 100-200 yards from my parents house. When I got there I could’ve heard a pin drop. It was gorgeous to just stand there taking in the silence. To give you an idea of how quiet it was in rural Ireland that night, when it struck New Year, I could clearly hear the cheers, celebrations and fireworks from a little town 8 miles away!  After I’d been standing there for a period of time, I don’t know why, but I got the urge to pray to all 4 cardinal directions, North, South, East and West. I said the prayer and changed direction t...

Saltfleet is a coastal village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, known for its seal colonies and many wading bird species this area is a refuge to many of our native species.  Situated between the coast and the arable fields and woods this could be a vital area for resources for any visiting creature. Many years ago now I took this report from the witness himself, after a very strange encounter he and his Sister had when they were walking on the marshes.  Witness Report: "It must have been about 10 years ago now my Sister and I were walking along the edge of the salt marsh at Saltfleet, east Lincolnshire, "It" was in the winter and we were out with our two dogs just letting them run off lead along the marshes. It gets pretty deserted down there and the area itself seems very bleak at times. There aren't many woodlands right on the edge of the beach, they are a little further inland, right along the beach front there are lots of thick, tall gorse bushes a...

On 10 th  January 2022 it was reported in the local Metro that a Woman’s body had been found ‘ eaten by foxes or badgers ’ after she left her broken down car on a dark night. The unidentified 55-year-old was found by sniffer dogs in Monkton, Ayrshire on December 19. It’s believed her body may have been partially eaten by badgers or foxes, in a field a mile from the spot where her car broke down. The 55-year-old from Airdrie, Scotland, was waiting for roadside assistance to arrive in mid-December when she walked a mile away from her stranded vehicle and into nearby fields in south Ayrshire, in the west of the country. Police found her body less than a week before Christmas at around 4.55pm on December 19. They had been conducting a missing persons inquiry after the woman's Citroen was found empty the day before, near the coastal village of Monkton. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Around 11.20pm on December 18, police were called to a report of a possible abandoned car on a...

Paul Moran is a local chap reached out to me as he was leaving the Wigan area and was moving over the border to Scotland within days of me speaking to him. So I arranged to meet him in the area after we had chatted on the phone about the experience he had. As you know often when I do investigations on mining land, especially in Wigan area the tech always fails. I did 2 mic tests before I recorded myself and Paul at the scene. I also took video of us driving in, all worked perfectly. But the interview is silent. So with Pauls permission I have used the video from that day and part of the audio from our original phone call.  Paul Moran: "I grew up in Hill Crest Drive in Leigh, which is in the NW of England. The estate was built many decades before when all of the area was very rural. The land is old mining land and many of the old pit sites are now stocked lakes that people fish on. The rest of the land is left to nature and the path me and my friend took that night is now less than...
