Deborah Hatswell - BBR Investigations

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 it overlooks the whole valley below. Number of witnesses: Myself, my 2 young children (5 and 7) and my friend. Observed: We were all walking on the path and decided to walk into the dense part off the path. It was purely happen stance. No sooner did we walk in, we stopped and had a look around. This funny looking tree with moss hanging off of it was clearly out of sync with the rest of the forest. Actually, my words to the BFRO was giant haystack. Only I quickly rationalized it away as being what it was....BF. After doing considerable research on the subject and understanding their habits I knew it was standing still....

Cumbria 1998 - The Beckermet area of Cumbria was apparently the location of an intriguing incident in January 1998. According to a letter to the editor published in the Whitehaven News of March of that year: It was about 5.00 p.m. and starting to get dark so my visibility was not that good, but as I walked past the woods I heard the snapping of branches. Thinking it was an animal, I stopped to try and see it. Looking through the trees I noticed a large creature covered in a sort of ginger brown hair that seemed to be drinking from a pond about 150 meters into the woods. As the lighting was getting bad I was straining to make out what it was, but as I stopped and stared, it appeared to notice me. At this point it reared up onto its hind legs and made off slowly further into the woods. I would estimate its height when upright to be around six feet six inches . This was not a man as it was naked except for its covering of hair. Also it was not a dear as it made off on its hind legs. ...

A young man using Clay lanes one night to go jogging said that while running he thought he heard an animal running next to him in the hedge. He said that such things did not normally concern him but as he ran he realized that this animal was not only quite large due to the noise it was making but also it was very near him and deliberately keeping up the pace with him. The gentleman decided to sprint the last stretch and up to the comforting light of Merlins Bridge and when he reached St marks school and looked behind him he saw peering back at him from the darkness a pair of large golden eyes. The eyes blinked and vanished. Was this just a curious indigenous creature or had the man’s jogging in the night disturbed a very strange entity? Also on the same road as the shadowing creature, what interested me was the arm description, although clearly reported as a "ghost" the arms were swinging as it walked“ ..... We have visited Pembrokeshire many times over the years. Pembrokeshi...

It was about 29 years ago. Husband n I went to Keswick in the Lake District. We decided on a lovely day to go walking through some dense remote woods. We found a track and followed it. We all of a sudden came to a clearing. We stood commenting on what a surprise to find such a clearing. We carried on talking then we both froze and all the hairs stood up on our arms. We didnt speak at the time but both of us felt the same. All of a sudden the birds stopped singing and everything went still and quiet. We sort of froze to the spot still didnt say a word.....then we had stones thrown at us but not quite hitting us. Then I said walk back talk as normal. ....we did walk back but we knew we where being followed and whoever was really really close. At the time I thought it was the panther but then with the stone throwing I thought it was a raving mad man. Never ever thought of BF. Anyway we where escorted to the edge of the wood and we knew it. So no actual sighting but now as I have got inter...
