Deborah Hatswell - BBR Investigations

Many years ago in an old forum online I came across this report, I have tried to contact the original witness through this site which I think has now close. Over the years I would look for him on other sites hoping he had posted there too. I would love to get in touch with him if possible as there are a number of things I think I can help him with. Here is the Report : I live in England and I used to live in a town called Tamworth and there is a woodland park with lakes and lots of nature called Hopwas Woods.I was walking through the park one night and I could hear noises behind me all the way, but I didnt think anything of it other than deer, so I carried on walking and it was black in there apart from the moon light so I couldn't make anything out. I heard the noises for a second time and I turned around thinking it was kids playing a prank on me and I froze at what I saw. I swear to god I froze on the spot because there right in front of me was this big Wolf Man like thing. I di...

Deborah I wanted to tell you about something I had forgotten about until I watched one of your uploads the other day. When I was about 20 years old I got asked to help move a couch and a wardrobe from a house in Crewe to the new owners address. This house was one of a few that had been built encroaching into the unoccupied fields at the time. It was out in the middle of nowhere. We eventually got the stuff loaded up on the van and ready to go when the man who we were helping asked me if I believed in Werewolves. I was a bit taken a back as it was so random, he then proceeded to say that a werewolf watches this house at night and lots of people had seen it. He said it was the talk in the local pub shops etc Its not like that now down there sadly, its all new build houses everywhere. When I looked at the map to add this report I realised there could be a possible connection to the Delamere Forest as we have a number of Bipedal Canines in the area. Stretching all the way to Elle...

I was contacted by a gentleman who lives in Canada who wanted me to share his encounter with a shape-shifting beings known as the Night-crawler. He has done an extensive amount of research into what he saw that night and I have included it at the end of the article/Video. Here is the encounter in his own words. My encounter experience happend back in 2010 in Lower mainland/Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada. It was approximately early October or mid October when I was 16 (I am 26 years old now) My old friend lived in the northwest rural part of my city which has a lot of forest area and farm land. His backyard has 5 acres of forest with a few houses surrounded in the distance around the outskirts of the forest. We would go and explore the forest all the time because it was quite mystical and just a cool place to wander. This one time me and my friend went outside to his forest with his dog like we would usually do in the daytime, but this time we went there at night...

In the Hills of Lothian there is an area called Ravenscraig which is known mostly as The Knock Forest, said to be old fairy land with a reputation of being haunted, I feel this maybe a case for the Cryptozoology researchers rather than the Paranormal experts as  strange figures were spotted and reported not too long ago by different witnesses. One Figure was seen running in the forest by a family out for a drive, this Man-like Creature travelled at an estimated speed of 70 miles per hour. There are also a number of UFO sightings and one account of a terrifying abduction. In the summer of 1988 on a forest road to the south-east of Cairnpapple a family out for a late-night drive in their new car. At the wheel of the Fiesta was David Colman, father of three, and at the time a 33 year-old mature student. His front seat passenger was his wife Kathleen, while their two sons and a daughter, aged between six and 14, were in the back. The strange encounter took place on a road runni...

Dark Shadowy figures and Floating heads -    Balgonie Castle just outside Glenrothes, is said to be home to an "intimidating spirit" and a whole host of other beings including a dog like creature, a dark hooded figure, an elderly man and a 17th century soldier.  A visit there is also said to throw up some unusual experiences – the sound of mysterious voices, the sight of floating heads and the feeling that you are being watched.  However the best-known spirit there is the famous Green Lady ghost, who can apparently still be seen roaming around the building to this day.  She has been seen walking past windows on various occasions, and is even known to stalk the surrounding grounds.  The castle's owners Stuart and Kelly Morris have encountered a number of strange goings-on down the years. At one point Kelly felt like someone was touching and breathing on her whilst out in the grounds, and they say that things got so bad that she even considered...

The Bathgate Mumbling Voices, The Silver Man, UFO's and many more!! The North East Coast of Scotland has a number of reports made of Strange Creatures, Hairy Upright ApeMen sometimes known as the Silver Man or the Running man, Fast foot or the Raah by ordinary people going about their everyday business who are confronted by Impossible Creatures and Events they struggle to explain. Many of the experiences you will read in this article are new and unpublished, some you have heard before, but I included them as the description and location are important and they share a similarity within the events. Bathgate Hills 'Fast foot' Man/Creature seen by Family 1988 -  In the Bathgate Hills of Lothian there is an area known as The Knock Forest due to the strange woodknockings that are reported there, said to be haunted I feel this maybe a case for the Cryptozoology researchers rather than the Paranormal experts as a strange figure was spotted and reported not too long ago.

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. These medieval forests stretched from the Mersey to the north, to Nantwich to the south, to Gowy to the west and Weaver to the east with a host of Rivers and streams interconnecting throughout the vast ancient woodland. 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)  

Original Source     My grandparents have a cabin in a town in Pennsylvania, south of Scranton. Every summer we usually go up for a few weeks as a family event; ever since I was little. A few years ago we decided to go up in the winter because my family wanted to go skiing at some point. After we got there, the weird things started happening really quickly, and seemingly out of nowhere. The house was built in the 1920's, old brick and wood home. The doors are these giant almost church looking doors, and the style of the home is very medieval, definitely adding to the creepy vibes of the home. The first night was seemingly calm through the house, but whenever I went there I always felt there was something there, or something lurking through the halls. The first night I got up to go to the bathroom at around 3:10 am; (which is also interesting because I never get up to go to the bathroom back at home, most nights I sleep right through without waking up). There were 8 of us in th...

Most people have heard of werewolves or as we call them today 'Bipedal Canines, but few of have heard of the ancient race of dog-headed men, known as the Cynocephali. A Cynocephalus was essentially a man with the head of a dog. These Men could understand language but had no ability to speak and were said to communicate by barks and sign language. Though they are sometimes depicted in artwork as being civilised, they were by other reports called savage beasts who lived to hunt and to kill. While this may sound like just another mythical creature, a tale told around camp fires to scare people away from the woods, there are very good reasons to believe that the Cynocephali may have actually existed. One reason we think they existed is that these dog-headed men were described in reports by famous explorers such as Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo!

Map Ref/ DlLly FB Hi Deborah I contacted you when I saw in the  ( British Bigfoot Facebook Group   a post by a lady in an area close to where I had a strange experience in 2006. This also happened in Stanley NE short walk away from where the lady saw her apeman creature up in a tree whilst playing as a child.  And I wonder if it was the same thing I saw many years later. I think K described it as "an apeman/monkeyman" I was hoping to chat with you as there is another location along that same road where I used to ride my bicycle along between my girlfriends house and where I used to live back then.   It was on this certain part of the road that I always felt like I was being watched by something,  a feeling I had a few times along that road it always felt like something I couldn't see was watching me from the shadows.  I knew something was there but I could never see anything or make it out in the shadows. As it would often be late at nig...

Witness Report: Jo. This is what happened to me one summer's afternoon when I was playing out as a child in Bawtry Doncaster, I saw something so strange that the experience remains with me to this day. The face in the foliage that I (and a school friend) saw happened around the time I was 15 in I would say approximately 1972. My Friend and I were playing truant from school, and we knew we wouldn't be caught if we went to a certain area not really ideal but it was out of the way and no adults would see us, we were there messing about in an old abandoned sewage works, known locally as “dead-dogs island” we noticed a face watching us from within the brambles, “he/she” was lying flat on their belly, keeping hidden well in the bushes and grass so I couldn't see a body and I have no idea of the size or height but what we could see was the face, whatever this “thing” was it was hairy and looked like the Green Man pictures and artworks that you see in the UK.

In 2016 I received an email from a gentleman whose brother was in Prison, he was housed in Dartmoor Jail, and his cell looked out onto the B3357 road that was close to the prison itself and had a small wooded area adjacent to it. Dartmoor still has a misplaced reputation for being a high-security prison that is escape-proof. Now it is merely a Category C prison, Dartmoor houses mainly non-violent offenders and white-collar criminals. The gent went on to explain that his brother was in prison and was almost finished with his sentence, he had received a number of ‘home leaves’ and on the one this previous weekend (Jan 2016) had seemed even more reluctant to return than he had on the other day releases. As you can imagine this poor man’s mind filled with all the horrors being in prison can bring and he gently coaxed his brother into revealing what the problem was. Expecting to hear about a violent attack or bullying by other prisoners he couldn't quite believe what his brother told hi...

More evidence has been received about the Wildman of Watton, Bigfoot of the Forest, the Beast of the A1075, whatever you choose to call the creature that many have seen stalking through the trees near Thetford: Weird Norfolk talked to the woman compiling their stories. It was supposed to be a fun afternoon bunking off school, a stolen afternoon where the end-of-dinner bell saw Deborah and her friend sneak away to a local park. But, in her own words, that impulsive choice to skip school was "the worst decision I ever made" and led to a life-long search for a terrifying creature which she saw face-to-face in 1982 in an encounter which has scarred her for life. "We headed for a kind of country park which had a butterfly house and next to it was a sensory garden for the blind which was full of these beautifully scented flowers, it was a magical place for kids, really overgrown and out of the way," said Deborah Hatswell, who lives in Manchester. "I was an or...

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/fears-half-human-half-dog-2078833 EXCLUSIVE: Chilling audio supposedly captures the "Dogman" howling and graphic images show the animals it has "killed" A huge werewolf-like creature that stands on two legs is terrorising towns across the US with spine-chilling audio capturing its howls in the dead of night, a believer has claimed. The mysterious monster has often been dubbed a “Dogman” and, according to Joedy Cook, has been spotted all across the US. Witnesses, he claims, have reported their animals and livestock being killed in brutal fashion by an unknown creature. Speaking to Daily Star Online, Joedy also explained the “half-man, half-dog” animals can be “up to 9feet tall and weighing anything between 300-400lbs”. But his evidence does not just come from witness statements.  On his site North American Dogman Project – set up to investigate the bizarre legend – Joedy has three audio clips from Ohio that could sh...

When Donald watches the Discovery Channel, especially programs about the unexplained or mysterious wildlife, he sometimes gets the urge to call his brother-in-law, Frank. He and Frank talk, said Donald (who didn’t want his last name or the name of his village used) and Frank gets sombre and quiet. It’s at those times they remember. They remember the night more than 25 years ago, and the creature that stood a good four feet above their teenage frames in the early winter moonlight. They remember the long arms, the body covered in thick hair, the face with features that were somehow human, somehow not. They remember its strength. “I remember watching when he was running through the alders in the moonlight,” Donald recalled. “And we have a lot of alders here. He was sweeping them aside and running at the same time.”

Strange Figure Captured at Cannock Chase March 2019! Cannock Chase Podcast Prt 1 Hi Deborah, I am a member of a paranormal team and we often investigate out at Cannock Chase as our team are in the process of carrying out a longitudinal (long de tudinal) study across the Chase. We have conducted repeated observations of the area over a long period of time. As most Bigfoot Researchers do when studying one set of woods over a number of seasons in the hopes of gathering evidence or spotting a pattern or any anomalies that may occur. The study on this night was taking place on the Golf course close to the common on Cannock Chase. On the 25th of March 2019 We were out doing our usual search when we experienced a series of Wood knocks in the Milford Common area, the Wood knocks were followed by what sounded like a boulder or a tree stump being repeatedly slammed into the forest floor a number of times. A couple of the more sceptical members of our party later reported a large shape they w...

The Fur Coated Man. Miller County 1969 On Hwy 71 North We have thought a long time before writing this, because I'm getting on in years and the memory might not be on target anymore. I was a married man in 1969 with two strapping sons. Lonny was almost eleven years old, Seth had twelve years on him. It was cold and rainy that day and we were returning from a family get together over the holidays. My wife and I were in the pickup and the boys rode in the back, in the bed of the truck under tarps and in their sleeping bags, we left Ida about 8 or 9 at night and headed north on hwy 71 to Texarkana where we farm, The road isn't that wide, I suddenly see this thing a ways off in the distance in the high beams of the truck but I didn't know what I was seeing. The closer we got, I started thinking "strange" and knocked on the window to the back of the truck to get the attention of my boys. My wife was asleep, but she woke up the more noise I made and sat up. T...

This next account came in through my page on Facebook, after an article I had released earlier on the Forest of Dean creature.  A young lady got in touch with me and these are her own words about her experience that day. I run a paranormal team in Bolton Lancashire and we investigate haunting's across the North West of England.  I saw your post on the Forest of Dean and as I had posted not long ago about an experience that happened to me in the Trough of Bowland Forest, I thought you might find it of interest. This is my own personal account written by myself about something strange that I remembered, something that happened, when I was a kid.  I have never forgotten that day and what happened and this is why I wrote it down. I wanted to know if anyone else had ever seen or experienced anything close to my encounter. I live in the North West England still and as kids back then we always went to the Trough of Bowland. I remember my Dad would take all us kids...

A seemingly flesh and blood bear was sighted on Hackney Marshes during the 1970s, yet seemed to vanish without trace after a few reports. Rather quirkily, actors Jasper Carrott and Robert Powell, whilst playing ‘The Detectives’ (BBC 1997), hunted a similar creature, in an episode entitled ‘The Beast Of Hackney Marshes’.
