Way up on Holcombe Moor is an Army Training centre and lots of land owned by the M.O.D Posted with danger signs it is not accessible to your average human.  But as this area is very close to the source of the River Irwell along which many British Wildman sightings lie.  I recently got back in touch with the witness to see if they would appear in the new documentary Elusive, but sadly ill health and fear of being identified prevented him from appearing, but he did manage to fill me in a little on some of the details. This is the original Account, which was taken by A. Bird in 2013. D.

His hair hung forward, nearly covering his face. His beard was so long it almost touched the ground -- and it was blue! His little legs were twisted and ...
