A Red Chested Hairy Creature Chased Us 2004

By Deborah L Hatswell -
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 and tall grasses that the Deer and Rabbits live in. There are also some abandoned buildings scattered about.

 As we were walking along we saw  'someone' walking towards us in the distance at first about 500 m away along the bottom of the dunes  We both watched as the Figure got closer as there was something strange about this "person" and at this distance the figure approaching us looked like a big man dressed all in white with what looked like a reddish apron on his front. For some reason the gait on the figure was so strange it made us both stop and watch and we both felt a bit cautious and wary of it for some unknown reason. Without verbalising it we both decided to turn around and walk briskly back the way we had come. 



We kept turning around and looking but the 'person' was moving very quickly and was easily gaining on us. We started to run and both dogs were running with us, I honestly thought "It" would catch up with us. When "It" got to within about 200 m of us I could see "It" was not a person and "It" wasn't wearing an apron. This was a creature with very pale fur but with reddish/brown markings on shaggy hair/fur across the chest? I didn't stop to look closer and we ran all the way home. 

We've not been back to that area since and I haven't discussed it with anyone but my sister until I saw your site.

A Dogman Is Shot and Killed in Morayshire Scotland. “It looked like a Hyena crossed with a Baboon"

Witness Johnny: " Hi Deb, I was in your live chat tonight and I was trying to get some information to you that I’ve got out about an animal my dad shot on our farm back in 1997 after it had killed 150 of our sheep plus may more kills happened all over the area. 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. As I said my dad got his other farmer mates and some of the gamekeepers out with the spot lamps and they eventually hunted something down in the fields that he said looked like it was a hyena and wolf cross but it’s front feet were shaped like a rats but longer. They were longer than my dad's hand. The men were all standing around it and they were trying to work out what it was and were confused because of how it looked. But they all felt it was for sure what was killing the sheep as it’s canine teeth matched the ones we found on the sheep that escaped it. It was as i...

Dogmen Reports from across the UK

By Deborah L Hatswell -

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...
