So The incident that I am going to discuss took place on what was probably the last Saturday in November of 2022. It took place in Spring wood which is about two miles from Brigstock, a village about 4 miles south east from Corby Northamptonshire. On that day a local shoot were moving through Spring wood on what was their last but one drive of the day. The time was around 2.00 pm to 3.00pm. They had just finished the drive and one shot bird had not been retrieved. And so an individual who was just a beater for the day went back through the wood with his dog to find the bird. This should have taken ten minutes or so given that his dog was a trained gun dog. The individual did not return.
So he was in his sixties and was an experienced shooting man. Why he did not have a gun that day I don't know. So somebody went to look for him and could not find him. There is a release pen in the wood and the gate is always closed. When the searcher arrived at the gate it was open. He entered the pen and searched to no avail. He reported back to the other members and the shoot was terminated.
A more intensive search ensued, again drawing a blank. and so the police were called. By 6 pm they were treating him as missing and enquiries were being made in the local area. Also two Facebook pages went up on the internet, one by the gentleman's family asking if anyone knew of his whereabouts and one was posted by Northamptonshire Police along the same lines. By 8 00pm there was a police presence on the outside of the wood along with the remaining shoot members whom I believe were told to remain at the site.
At no time during the entire night was any attempt by the police made to search for the man. Both the Facebook postings had been removed by 9 00pm that night.
By around 11 00am the following day Sunday, Paramedics were in attendance in the field to the roadside of Spring wood that's the Brigstock to Lower Benefield road. The man was either dead onsite or died in hospital.
I was told in a cryptic way that he had been found with some kind of lacerations and around three weeks later I found large prints outside my mobile home. There had been a period of rainfall and the track next to my van was like slurry. That night there was a sharp frost and when I went out in the morning the first thing I saw were the prints. They were not there the day before. They were very clear and measured 4 1/2 inches x 3 inches. I took photos and measured them with the tape in the photos. I showed them to interested parties who said that they were dog prints. The thing is there are no claw marks showing as you would expect from a dog. I measured the distance between two of the prints and the distance was 27 inches. I live in a remote site which as the crow flies is approximately 15 miles from Brigstock the site of the incident.
This incident never made the news. If the man had suffered a health issue and died there would have been some local coverage. If he had been involved in a shooting accident it would have received coverage. No reference to what happened to his dog has ever been made. It’s possible that it went for his dog and he intervened to his cost or maybe it just went for him. To this day residents in Brigstock know nothing about the events of that night. What ever happened to this man was shut down and supressed by the authorities.
During the following 20 yrs there have been many sightings of a large cat along the road from Brigstock to Lower Benefield. Not long before the man died there was a sighting of it in Spring Wood and once again it was a close encounter with a big cat from only a few metres away. Pug marks have also been found over the years.
“One local man stated there were upwards of 30 officers out that night and the man was found in an area that could have been easily searched, meaning he was out there all night and into the next day before he was found. The woodland is very small, so he and I have no idea how it was even possible to go missing there. Other than the police presence you wouldn't have known anything was happening. The police did a house to house check to see if anyone had seen him but nobody had. And nobody knows what happened to his dog?

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hello everybody. I'm welcome back. Thank you very much for
joining me. Our case tonight centers on the beast of
Brigstock and a strange mystery of a missing man who
vanished in very unusual circumstances. This case was shared with
me by a listener to the show who reached out
(00:48):
one evening in April this month twenty twenty five as
he had information on an area. And I've had a
Keen Aisle for over a decade as one of the
BBI investigators. It's is actual local area. For purposes of anonymity,
we will called Tonight's witness Thomas, and Thomas said, I
(01:10):
watched a recent podcast on big cat sightings in the
UK with reference to the Northampchinonshire sightings, and the main
reason that I feel that I should contact you is
because of the presence of a large cat so to
be black in color. If you quented an area of
land east of Corby for around twenty years from approximately
(01:33):
nineteen ninety five. I'm from this area, but I have
to say that I've never witnessed this animal. However, I
do know people that did and it very close quarters.
So the incident that happened and that I'm going to
discuss took place on what was probably the last Saturday
in November of twenty twenty two. It took place in Springwood,
(01:57):
which is about two miles from Brigstock, about four miles
southeast from Corby, Northamptonshire. On that day, a local chute
were moving through spring Wood on what was their last
but one driver of the day. The time was around
two to three pm and they'd just finished the drive
(02:17):
and one shot bird hadn't been retrieved. So an individual
who was just a beater for the day went back
through the wood with his dog to find the bird.
This should have taken no more than ten minutes or so,
given that his dog was a trained gun dog. The
individual did not return. So he was in his sixties
(02:37):
and experienced shooting man. Why did he not have a
gun that day, I don't know. So somebody went to
look for him and couldn't find him. And there's a
release pen in the wood and the gates always closed.
When the searcher arrived at the gate was open. He
entered the pen, searched and no avail. Reported back to
the other members and the chute was terminated. A more
(03:01):
extensive search ensued again, drawing a blank, so the police
were called. By six pm they were treating him as
missing and inquiries were being made in the local area. Also,
two Facebook pages went up on the Internet, one by
the gentleman's family asking if anyone knew of his whereabouts
(03:22):
and one by Northamptonshire Police along the same lines. By
eight pm there was a police presence on the outside
of the Wood, along with the remaining members, whom I
believe were told to remain. At no time during the
entire night was any attempt by the police made to
(03:46):
search for the man. Both the Facebook postings had been
removed by nine pm that night. By around eleven am
the following day, the Sunday paramedics were in attendance in
Field to the roadside of Springwood that's the brig stop
to Lower Bennyfield Road. The man who was either passed
(04:09):
away on site and passed away in hospital. I was
told in a cryptid way that he had been found
with some kind of lacerations. Around three weeks later, I
found large prints outside my mobile home. There had been
a period of rainfall and the track next to my
van was like slow red. That night there was a
(04:32):
sharp frost, and when I went out in the morning,
the first thing I did, The first thing I saw
was the prince. They were not there the day before.
They were very clear and measured four and a half
inches my three inches. I took photographs and I measured
them with tape and you can see that in the photos.
(04:54):
I showed them to some interesting parties who said they
were dog prints, and the thing is there and no
claw marks showing as you'd expect from a dog. I
measured the distance between two of the prince and the
distance was twenty seven inches. A living a remote site, which,
as the crow flies, is approximately fifteen miles from Brigstock,
(05:15):
the site of the incident. Now, the incident never made
the news, and if the man had suffered a health
issue and you know, died of natural causes or something
like that, there would have been some local coverage. If
you'd been involved in a shooting accident, it would have
been you know, that would have got coverage as well.
(05:36):
No reference to what happened to his dog has ever
been made. And it's possible that it went for his
dog and he interfeden to his cost, or maybe it
went for him. To this day, residents in Brigstock know
nothing about the events of that night. What ever happened
to this man was shut down and suppressed by the authorities.
(06:01):
Thomas added, we shall now go back to around nineteen
ninety five ninety six. I was in the Springwood area
when I met a lad about twenty years of age.
He had his gun with him and was legitimately on
the land, which changed pleasantries and went on our separate ways.
Within ten minutes or so, he doubled back and walked
(06:22):
back in my direction. He was very pale and visibly shaken.
He did not have his gun with him. I assume
what happened, and he said that a large black cat
like animal had come out of the hedge less than
ten feet in front of him. He said that it
just was there, and he dropped his gun, stunned at
(06:44):
what he was looking at. The cat then disappeared through
the hedge. I had never seen him again to question
him further. During the following twenty years, there had been
many sightings of large cats along the road from big
Stock to Lower Bennyfield. Not long before the man died,
there was a sighting of it in spring Mud, and
(07:04):
once again it was a close encounter with a big
cart from only a few meters away. Pub marks have
also been found over the years. Now, I'm not saying
that this individual was attacked by a leopard, because I
was not there and nobody has said he was. What
I'm saying is that there is has been a leopard
(07:27):
scene in the area for some twenty years or so.
At twenty years of age, this animal would probably have
been sick, injured, and hungry at the time, which makes
it potentially dangerous to anyone anythin it encounters it. The
lifespan of these animals can exceed twenty years if conditions
(07:49):
are favorable. That's the experts view, not mine, Sir Thomas.
Wherever the truth is this incident was suppressed. I do
not want to stick my head above the parapet. What
it needs is an outsider to look into it, perhaps
filing a freedom of information request to see what gets
flushed down. Now, I concept in our witness for your email,
(08:12):
ranged a call with Thomas and that called to up
place in the eighth of April. We chatted for an
hour or so whilst I was brought up to speed
and Thomas was able to give me more information that
will help you trying to unravel this strange and quite
disturbing case, which I think you will agree deserves a
(08:33):
deep dive. Thomas gave me all the information before we spoke,
so I was able to let him know about the
other reports in the area, all within a short distance
of Carbeck. He was familiar with several of those areas
and he let me know that many of them are
owned by the Ministry of Defense. First, I have transcribed
(08:57):
our phone conversation which Thomas is happy for me to
share with you. Thomas said, there is no one to
speak to you. Deb is that I think the information
I have is significant and there are a number of
red flags. I also believe we've been lied to by
the powers that be for a very long time, and
(09:18):
one of those lies is that the countryside is a
safe place to be, as at times it is not.
When I was younger, I spent time out in the
countryside all over the UK never gave it a second thought,
But now I wouldn't be going out in far reaching
places on my own anymore. Have a really bad feeling
(09:41):
about what's going on, and I've reached out to other
researchers and investigators with this information. As I feel it's
important for the general public to know that are some
very disturbing things happening, and it's been hidden and hushed up,
I believe by the authorities. Each summer, farmers around the
(10:02):
area make reports of bright lights seen from above circling
the fields in the woods. On One man's mystery demise
was white from the Internet within hours. The man went
missing in strange circumstances and was found deceased after a
couple of days. When I was looking for information on
the case, I came across one of your interviews deb
(10:25):
with a gentleman called Fred. He saw a werewolf like
creature at his window one night before he passed away.
I'm really familiar with the area and I've passed the
farming occasions in the past. Very close to where he
lives is an area called the Warrington Crossroads, and I
often refer to this as the Warrington Triangle due to
(10:45):
its position. There have been some very strange, unexplained cases
to all four directions, and there is a weird private
woodland that's posted for army cadets several bunkers sitting within it.
I believe this is central to the activity happening here
(11:07):
and reports the strange lights in the sky go back
to the nineteen fifties. Drivers on the road report their
cars just starling and stopping for no reason whatsoever. Jenny
Randalls gave an account from a gentleman who were in
the early August nineteen seventy three, was driving his Mini
(11:27):
in Northampton at around one thirty am on the A
four to eight. Thomas said, in Jenny Randalls's story, he
got as far as little and great hearted. He remembers
looking at the clock tower and on the old church
as he passed, and he noted the time at two am.
He was immediately hit with a bright white light and
(11:51):
his next memory he's coming to on the bridge at
Bromen in Bedford, he saw a man going out to
get his morning paper. You call the emergency services. The
man was taken to hospital for several days until deemed
to be okay. One thing to note is that I
seemed to remember when he was found he was wet
(12:14):
through and there had been no rain that night. Thomas
went on to add one strange aspect is that his
car was found by a farmer buster Turvy on the
other side of the Warrington crossroads. The carn in the
field was up, and in those days it was a
(12:34):
lot taller than the car plants you see now. The
farmer contacted the police, who attended and everyone was puzzled
as to how the car came to be in the field,
as there were no indentations of it entering the carfield.
In fact, it looked as if it had been dropped
in there from above. There's no explanation as to how
(12:59):
it got there. Thomas explained that he found that story
when he got the Internet in two thousand, but in
nineteen ninety five he had his own experience during the
winter months. He said, I remember driving through Clapping as
the new bypass hadn't been built then, so I was
(13:19):
on the A six ild usually set off a home
about five forty five pm. I remember it was a
filthy night and it just kept on raining constantly. The
roads were really slick like glass, and my head lights
were shining back at me. I was in a line
of traffic doing about fifteen twenty miles an hour, and
(13:40):
there was a chap sitting completely naked on the curb
side of the road and he sat with his head
in his knees with his arms wrapped around his knees.
At the time, it didn't stop and I didn't know
about the story of Jenny Randall shared until a few
years later, but there was something really off about the
(14:03):
whole situation. Now I see the connection, and I wonder
if what happened to the man in Jenny's story with
any connection to the man I saw that night in
the rain. I raised this as it adds to the
information on the area. So many strange things happen here.
It's a place where three countries meet. In fact, the
(14:25):
tribe order Stone is a short walk from the area
in the heart of this case. Thomas noticed a bright
light connection between the case shared by Jenny Randalls and
the man he saw. I mentioned that both men reminded
me of the Zigmund Adamska and is disappearing to Todmden
and is reappearing several weeks later. It was at this
(14:49):
point in the chat that I told Thomas about my
connection to Glassy Glemur, who was Fred's friend and Caro
but also a long time researcher of the Stranger. Explained,
he lives in the Bedford area and I've heard him
mention so many of the places that Thomas mentioned the
creature he's seen on occasion. He calls the Three Counties werewolf,
(15:13):
and I don't believe in for incidents. Both men are
researching unexplained in the same area without knowing each other,
and between them they have a massed a great deal
of information, which brings us back to the case which
prompted Thomas to contact me on other members of the
(15:34):
paranormal community, and now knowing the details, it's a very
worrying case indeed, of a man he goes missing only
to be found dead in unusual circumstances, and it seems
that the incident has been covered up. We've heard this before.
It centers on a local man and this man was
(15:55):
a beata at one of the shoots in the area. Now,
the man was in his sixties and he was employed
just for that day, and the shoot took place between
two and three. As Thomas explained, they'd done one last
drive and one of the birds was outstanding. So he's
the beata without his gun with his dog went in
(16:16):
to find it, and that should have been a really
quick thing because the dog's trained to do that, and
he just didn't come back when the another one of
the guys went back in there. The pen that's normally
closed was left open, you know. By eight o'clock the
police were stationed outside the wood, along with some members
(16:36):
of the shoote because they were asked to stay behind.
The Facebook post went up by his family that night,
but it was taken down quite quickly, and then he
was found around about eleven am the following day, which
would have been the Sunday. Paramedics were in attendance in
the field alongside spring Wood. Now, the man we don't
(16:59):
know if he was found deceased at that spot or
later on. We're not sure, and no official statement has
been made. And despite three freedom of information requests by Deborah,
he said, I can still not gain any details on
that case. I've tried three times to get information on
(17:21):
this case, and I'm going to keep trying until I
get some information in this case. Or the other question
I asked them was reports of black cats seen in
that area or large cats seen in that area around
a certain amount of time, And I'll go into that later.
Thomas went on to add one local man stated that
(17:42):
there were upwards of thirty officers out that night and
the man was found in an area that could have
been easily searched, meaning he was out there all night
and until the next day before he was found, and
he didn't go in and look for him. The woodblind
is very small, so he and I have no idea
(18:06):
how it's even possible to go missing in there. Other
than the police presidence, you wouldn't have known anything was happening.
Thomas said. The police had a house to house chirch
to see if anyone had seen him, but not be
had and nobody knows what happened to his dark The
man who was head of the shoe had made a
report some months earlier after he came face to face
(18:29):
with a large black cat. The wood in question is
stopped for shoots and there's a large pen where the
birds are raised, and it's an area used by people
for that reason. He said on that day he saw
a cat fit and it was in the brambles. They
looked at each other and he held himself together and
walk past it, so we know a large cat has
(18:52):
been seen in that area. In fact, there are several
reports in all of the counties of large black cats
not native to the UK, and sightings are increasing as
we know Thomas explained that in the past, as he
lived in a very rural area, there have been occasions
when he spotted apatchy helicopters in the field close to
(19:15):
his home. Often they're just hovering there. And that's the
area where he found the strange prince in the mud,
only three weeks after the incident of the missing man
at Springwood. The prints are pretty big and they are
no big dogs up where Thomas lives. It happened between
five six am. It had rained earlier the night, and
(19:39):
then they'd been a hard frost, so Thomas believes the
prints were made in the wet mud and then they'd
frozen over later, so there may be some distortion due
to the other conditions. The odd thing that stands out
is that there were no claw marks than any of
the prints. I look at my files and I realized
there's an area north of spring Wood and as a
(20:01):
report from a family who had a harrowing encounter with
a large cat. That was in twenty nineteen, so not
that long ago. Their family dog was attacked. And the
lady's name is Kayley Holmes. She was thirty one and
with her husband had him who was thirty nine, they'd
been out walking there by La Cross called Loke when
they came to face to face with the big cat.
(20:24):
Now Loki was only one, and she ran off into
the woodland, growling before emerging from the bushes with the
bloody claw mark between her eyes. Adam and manufacturing engineer
then went to investigate and was left frozen to the
spot when he saw the panther like creature lurking in
Wakeley Wood. The couple quickly rushed their pet cart to
(20:48):
the car and drove back to their home in Collie,
Western North Amts to report the incidents to the police.
They discovered Loki had also suffered cuts resembling laceration to
his front legs, so he took him to the emergency
bets and the following day to treat the wounds. One
of three, Kayley, said, what we saw was about two
(21:09):
or three times bigger than my dog, and it was
all black in color. It was scruffy looking and had
yellow eyes loaking. My dog comes up to my knees
where he's spy one kilo. He's not a small dog.
This thing was massive. It was massive compared to him,
and I don't know what else it could have been.
We noticed that he was growling at the woodline before
(21:32):
running in there, and then he quickly came back with
his scratch mark between his eyes. So my husband Adam,
went into the woods and that's when he saw it.
It was at the bottom of a hill. It looked
right at my husband and then it just sloped off
into the undergrowth. I think he was just frozen at
the time. It was about twenty meters away, but he
(21:55):
says it felt much closer than that. We got out
of there as fast as we could. When we got home,
we found located injuries to his black legs as well
as it cuts to his face and you can see
no domestic cat it caused that much damage. I contacted
the police and I was told that there had been
other similar reports made by other people in the area.
(22:19):
Cayley said, I've warned people on social media, but a
lot of people are saying that we're making it up.
I can totally assure them that we're not. I spoke
from him for Northamptonshire Police said to The Daily Star
Online that the dog walker said the beast was bigger
than their dog. On the twenty fifth of November twenty
(22:39):
twenty one I was contacted by a listener and the
chester to an area who explained what happened to them
on a dog walk and asked, I don't know if
it was a dog, a deer or a man. He
kept looking at me dog. So the witness said, right,
I've got something I've got to get off my chest.
I didn't want to say this last night because it's
(23:00):
Halloween and I didn't want to scare anybody's kids. But
the other night I went to the garage from my
dog and saw the weirdest, most strangest animal, dog looking
human thing all mixed up with the day and a fox.
I've never seen anything like it in my life. I
(23:21):
said to a young lad who was walking down where
I saw it. I said, I watch out, boy, there's
something weighed near you walk down there and he said,
oh yeah, Sam Lemurs. So if you're walking around Chesterton,
you just keep an eye out, she said. In December
two thousand and five, one local man made a report
(23:42):
to the BBC when he saw a strange creature near
Rushton and he said it was something sandy brown, possibly
a jungle cat, about as big as a border collie,
with distinctive markings and its tail and its lower back.
The animal paid at me before casually disappearing into the undergrowth.
(24:05):
All of these reports made me interested to have a
look and see what other cases were around a three
counties boundary, and I realized Thomas had spoke about Ministry
Defense land and it around in pockets in all of
the areas while our a f alconbra and the reports
of the hard Stand monster would fall into that. Now
(24:27):
that's often called the standing wolf, and it was seen
on the base by several serving personnel. In the nineteen seventies,
a group of three men along with the dogs, were
guarding the bunkers within a large fenced toff area. A
radio car went out informing the men that there was
an intruder within the perimeter and that shots had been fired.
(24:49):
The head guard could make out a figure in the fog,
and as he approached it, it screened in his space
and he described it as a man like bipedal pre
that bounded the fence to the north of the base.
The man described the creature as hairy, standing approximately five
foot nine in height, and it had intelligent human like eyes,
(25:12):
a flat nose, and large ears. The teeth were large,
but not fanged. The face was narrow around the eyes,
but the head flared out again at the top. It
had a very muscular frog like thighs, and he believes,
but he's not certain, that it had reverse articulated legs
(25:34):
like a horse. It was a mechanic on the base
who was carrying out some routine work to an F
five aircraft and it was parked on the runway and
he went missing whilst doing a job that should have
been completed in an hour when he failed to make
the telephone call checking in or requesting a lift back
(25:54):
from the hangar. A search went out to find him.
They found him sitting in the aircraft, white as a
sheet with the cannopy closed, and although they asked him
many times what it was that he'd seen, he refused
to go into great detail for fear you'd see it again.
But he described a terrifying, hairy humanoid which would walk
(26:17):
past the aircraft. Wesley up to Grove, who also saw
the humanoid creature, said he tried to pursue it in
an army truck as it escaped heading north of the base.
He described it as being five foot nine tall with
human like eyes, a flat nose and my jays sergeantly inside.
(26:40):
Jackson had a terrifying experience one night while on patrol
with their two dogs. They saw some movement near the
towers and called the main gate to check if any
workmen were still on side. As he approached the tower,
they came back face to face with the airy figure.
The dog stopped in their tracks, absolutely terrified, frantically trying
(27:03):
to get away. The truck arrived just in time to
see the creature whenever it was climbing over the security
fence where it was last sea, entering the northwards. Another
man who was in his twenties one year old at
the time and stationed at our a f Falcambra, we
saw the creature too, when it was in a secure
(27:25):
weapons storage area. It seemed shocked and surprised, had been
caught off guard, and the man who saw it froze
in total fright. He was armed with the thirty eight,
never considered using it. There was no aggression on its part.
It wasn't human, he said. It had a flat snout
on large eyes. His height was approximately five feet and
(27:48):
weighed around two hundred pounds. It was very muscular and thin.
It wore no clothing and was only moderately hair It
ran away on its hind legs and scurried over a
chain link fence and ran deep into the dense wooded
area next to the north end of the base. Thomas
(28:10):
mentioned case with the witness Spread, who lives in a
remote Bedfordshire farm which has had over the years all
manner of straining activity. Happened one one member of Fred's
family passed away at the farm in twenty eighteen. This Cara,
known as Glassy Gleamer, found strange dog like prints in
(28:31):
the mud below one of the windows at the farm.
They were also bangs and slapped on the walls of
the house. Something was making it into the garden, setting
the dog, which eventually led to a very frightening encounter
for the remaining resident and was for me one of
the hardest cases I've ever had. What I found hard
(28:53):
was listening to a man in complete distress in what
Sun would call the winter of his life. The emotion
and fear I heard over the telephone coming from Fred
touched me in a way that has stayed with me. Fred,
who was a lovely soul and he was confronted by
the wolf like creature as he was watching him through
his front room window in the middle of the night.
(29:15):
Its eyes ficks and Fred's, and it held his gaze.
Fred described the creature in great detail and was very
clear on what he saw. He also told me some
very interesting things that have happened in his village many
decades ago. It was said that there was a secret
tunnel used by silent nuns that were never seen, and
(29:38):
he only ever moved around in the dark. He would
bury their babies in the grounds. Now, the main thing
about the creature that Fred saw were its eyes, he said,
beheld his gaze. He was mesmerized by them. The creature
wrapped and tapped on the window pane with what was
neither a hand or a paw, something in between, judging
(30:00):
by the tracks left behind. It was tall and by
looking at the window and we could judge the higher
around seven foot. It had a longer muzzle than Fred's
dog or an Alsatian. He said, it looked like the
wolf in the Red Ridinghood film. It hit caneine tegue
then they were visible, and its top lip hung over them.
(30:24):
The hair of Colt, particularly under the jar, was scregglar
a bit like an Irish wolf found and it was
dark in color, not black, dark gray and think its
eyes were higher and more forward facing than the standard canine,
and Fred felt that the creature was hard to look at.
(30:44):
Its gaze made you want to look away from it.
The eyes grew wider with an expression. Fred said it
looked like it for a split second it had been
shocked of surprise that he'd seen it. The eyes were dark,
very little off white at the outer edges. The ears
on this thing weren't as tigh as a Doberman or
(31:06):
an Alsatian, but they had a slight fold or turning
over at the top of them. The eyes were the
main focus of the encounter, which pinned Fred when he
got out of bed onto his zimmer frame and looked
straight through the window at him. Fred and experienced animal
judge and it's worked with animals his whole life. Glassy
(31:28):
Gillia Map, who was Fred's good friend and care had
an encounter himself just before the Warrington roundabout and when
he saw a strange creature looking into the floodwaters of
the field. That was after the river roofs burst its
banks during the spring of cold. In fact, it took
place on the first of Ebruharree Glassy was on his
(31:53):
way to work earlier that morning, was so startled by
what he saw he waited until the end of his shift.
I went back in better light to see if it
was mistaken. He was open to debunk what he saw
that morning, but the return visit did not show anything
that could have confused him, as it being the figure
(32:13):
that had seen earlier that day. Last, he said, if
driving to work, I was moving along the route, I
could see the river and I kept getting glimpses of
something in the water in a flooded field. This thing
came from behind a hedgerow in the second field and
was wading through there, and it had very long hair.
Even at the cuff area of the arms. It was
(32:35):
easy to see. This had long hair, and you could
see the shape of it as it moved. It wasn't human.
It reminded me of the typical description of an early
wood wovest. The hare went over its hands and hung down.
There was a charcoal gray color, and it was silhouetted
against the water. Looking at it now and back here,
(32:58):
I could see there's nothing I could have miss taking
it far. He wasn't standing still to not be seen,
so I could not have possibly confused, you know, a
telephone pole or a tree for this thing. It was
a living thing, and it was wading through the water,
and I could see it clearly, and there's nothing that
big out here, and it was big. It came through
(33:21):
the water looking down every now and again. I saw
it put its hand over the water as it was
looking down looking for something. I slowed right down this
morning to about thirty five miles an hour, and there
were no other vehicles around early, so there were no
cars in front of me or behind me. I've got
(33:43):
a really good clear look at it. I formed the
impression it was fishing. You could see the long air
on its face as it went forward to looking to
the water. He was thick bodied thing. It must have
been at least eight pizza and was standing here. Now
I think about it, it might have been even taller. He
(34:03):
was also really thick and bulker. Now at this point
I should point out that neither Thomas or myself are
saying that all of these incidents are connected. What we're
saying is in certain parts of the UK there are
areas by strangeness and this Tri County area seems to
(34:27):
be one of those, between the sitings of large cats,
numerous wolf like creatures, several wol sidings. The area indeed
is one of mistra It has all the things we
look for in areas of high strangeness. What's the airlines,
county borders, nature reserves, and old Ministry of Defense, land
(34:48):
golf courses and many are close to operating military basis.
Now the UFO reports in this area continue to come in,
along with so many large cat reports that I'm leaning
towards Thomas's advice that we really are not that safe
in the countryside and we could be shadowed, starped and
(35:12):
followed without ever knowing it. The man who went missing
was an avid outdoorsman. He was in a woody knew well,
with a dog that he trusted. What happened to him?
And why was the woodland not searched by the police.
In fact, it was cordered off with offices so no
(35:35):
search could take place. Where was there no mention of
this case in the local press and even the national papers.
The man went missing and was found in unusual circumstances. Yeah,
there is no trace of any that I can find online.
He was not the only man to go missing and
be found in unusual circumstances in the area, though one
(35:58):
case happened earlier this months, around the time that Thomas
first contacted me. On the eighth of April twenty twenty five,
police called off a search after a man was found
deceased in mysterious circumstances after being missing for several weeks.
His bike was found a number of miles from his body.
(36:21):
The man's name was Kyle and that's the only name
we've given and he went missing from his hometown of
Reading on March twenty six and was then last sighted
on the same day in Mayor Fair, walking toward Saint
Peter's Way in Northampton. The thirty six year old Master
cycle was later recovered by police parked up in a
(36:44):
car park on the junction of Marlborough and Byfield Road. However,
nearly three weeks on f him when he was last seen,
the search was sadly called off after a member of
the public contacted Northamptonshire Police to report that they had
found a man's body in mudland near the A forty eight.
Detective Inspector Stuart's Streeter said sadly a man's body has
(37:07):
been found this weekend. A coronial investigation will be carried out. However,
it is apparent that there does not appear to be
any spisious circumstances surrounding his deaths Earlier last year, the
same thing happened in the Stonic Lake area on the
first of August twenty twenty four. MY body discovered in
(37:31):
water at a country park had been identified as a
man who went missing on the twenty eighth of April.
Jamie Attwood, who was thirty seven and from around in Northamptonshire,
was found dead at around six pm. Search is involved
in the National Police Air Service had been underway in
(37:51):
the area. North Hampshire Police a bass for the public's
help and piecing together what happened to mister Atwood after
the last confirmed sign of him. Now a police investigation
was launched after mister Atwood's family reported him missing from
his home, which is just a short trek to the
area where the beta went missing. After the shoot, it's
(38:14):
been established that he'd been seen five miles away in
Earthlingborough on the afternoon of the twenty seventy day Live.
Now it's not clear where he goes between that sighting
on the Saturday and the discovery of his body on Wednesday.
The case is close to the area of Rushton where
(38:35):
a man saw a ginormous jungle like cat and that
was seen in two thousand and six. Now Thomas has
asked me if I could make a freedom of information
requests for the area as a whole, the case of
the missing Beta and for any large cat sightings reported
to the authorities in the three counties, and that's what
I've done. I'm currently trialing local newspaper archives, community group
(39:00):
post several Pacebook groups in the hopes of finding out
any information that could possibly be available. Well, maybe you
could help with that. Do you have any information and
strange activity in the areas mentioned tonight? Have you seen
a large cat or other animal that was hard to
identify that would fit the description with the beast of
(39:24):
brick Stock or do you have information about cases that
fall into the Warrington triangle or the Three Counties werewolf cases.
I'm starting to believe my freedom of information requests are
being censored because, as far as I'm aware, you always receive,
and I have done in the past, a confirmation email
(39:45):
notification after submitting an FOI request and that has not happened.
In this case. The request should be then answered within
twenty working days. So today I've applied again. You have
information on Ministry of Defense land no or unknown for
(40:06):
the areas I've mentioned. Tonight now I will be chatting
with Thomas again and I have done in between our
first conversation and me making this today, and I will
bring you an update on this case as they come in,
and I'm going to sit down with Thomas as well,
because he feels it was a very early incident in
(40:28):
his life where he feels like something's attached to him
and it has come almost close to his home, if
you get what I mean, and almost like the hitchhiker
effect kind of thing. But I'll explain more in a
later podcast. Now, next week we'll hear from listeners who
have seen werewolves here in the UK, and i'll share
(40:51):
a case with it from Leading Yorkshire that we're calling
Watley Werewolf. Make sure you're tune in for that one
the same day in the same time next week. Good
night everyone, sh
Hello everybody. I'm welcome back. Thank you very much for
joining me. Our case tonight centers on the beast of
Brigstock and a strange mystery of a missing man who
vanished in very unusual circumstances. This case was shared with
me by a listener to the show who reached out
(00:48):
one evening in April this month twenty twenty five as
he had information on an area. And I've had a
Keen Aisle for over a decade as one of the
BBI investigators. It's is actual local area. For purposes of anonymity,
we will called Tonight's witness Thomas, and Thomas said, I
(01:10):
watched a recent podcast on big cat sightings in the
UK with reference to the Northampchinonshire sightings, and the main
reason that I feel that I should contact you is
because of the presence of a large cat so to
be black in color. If you quented an area of
land east of Corby for around twenty years from approximately
(01:33):
nineteen ninety five. I'm from this area, but I have
to say that I've never witnessed this animal. However, I
do know people that did and it very close quarters.
So the incident that happened and that I'm going to
discuss took place on what was probably the last Saturday
in November of twenty twenty two. It took place in Springwood,
(01:57):
which is about two miles from Brigstock, about four miles
southeast from Corby, Northamptonshire. On that day, a local chute
were moving through spring Wood on what was their last
but one driver of the day. The time was around
two to three pm and they'd just finished the drive
(02:17):
and one shot bird hadn't been retrieved. So an individual
who was just a beater for the day went back
through the wood with his dog to find the bird.
This should have taken no more than ten minutes or so,
given that his dog was a trained gun dog. The
individual did not return. So he was in his sixties
(02:37):
and experienced shooting man. Why did he not have a
gun that day, I don't know. So somebody went to
look for him and couldn't find him. And there's a
release pen in the wood and the gates always closed.
When the searcher arrived at the gate was open. He
entered the pen, searched and no avail. Reported back to
the other members and the chute was terminated. A more
(03:01):
extensive search ensued again, drawing a blank, so the police
were called. By six pm they were treating him as
missing and inquiries were being made in the local area. Also,
two Facebook pages went up on the Internet, one by
the gentleman's family asking if anyone knew of his whereabouts
(03:22):
and one by Northamptonshire Police along the same lines. By
eight pm there was a police presence on the outside
of the Wood, along with the remaining members, whom I
believe were told to remain. At no time during the
entire night was any attempt by the police made to
(03:46):
search for the man. Both the Facebook postings had been
removed by nine pm that night. By around eleven am
the following day, the Sunday paramedics were in attendance in
Field to the roadside of Springwood that's the brig stop
to Lower Bennyfield Road. The man who was either passed
(04:09):
away on site and passed away in hospital. I was
told in a cryptid way that he had been found
with some kind of lacerations. Around three weeks later, I
found large prints outside my mobile home. There had been
a period of rainfall and the track next to my
van was like slow red. That night there was a
(04:32):
sharp frost, and when I went out in the morning,
the first thing I did, The first thing I saw
was the prince. They were not there the day before.
They were very clear and measured four and a half
inches my three inches. I took photographs and I measured
them with tape and you can see that in the photos.
(04:54):
I showed them to some interesting parties who said they
were dog prints, and the thing is there and no
claw marks showing as you'd expect from a dog. I
measured the distance between two of the prince and the
distance was twenty seven inches. A living a remote site, which,
as the crow flies, is approximately fifteen miles from Brigstock,
(05:15):
the site of the incident. Now, the incident never made
the news, and if the man had suffered a health
issue and you know, died of natural causes or something
like that, there would have been some local coverage. If
you'd been involved in a shooting accident, it would have
been you know, that would have got coverage as well.
(05:36):
No reference to what happened to his dog has ever
been made. And it's possible that it went for his
dog and he interfeden to his cost, or maybe it
went for him. To this day, residents in Brigstock know
nothing about the events of that night. What ever happened
to this man was shut down and suppressed by the authorities.
(06:01):
Thomas added, we shall now go back to around nineteen
ninety five ninety six. I was in the Springwood area
when I met a lad about twenty years of age.
He had his gun with him and was legitimately on
the land, which changed pleasantries and went on our separate ways.
Within ten minutes or so, he doubled back and walked
(06:22):
back in my direction. He was very pale and visibly shaken.
He did not have his gun with him. I assume
what happened, and he said that a large black cat
like animal had come out of the hedge less than
ten feet in front of him. He said that it
just was there, and he dropped his gun, stunned at
(06:44):
what he was looking at. The cat then disappeared through
the hedge. I had never seen him again to question
him further. During the following twenty years, there had been
many sightings of large cats along the road from big
Stock to Lower Bennyfield. Not long before the man died,
there was a sighting of it in spring Mud, and
(07:04):
once again it was a close encounter with a big
cart from only a few meters away. Pub marks have
also been found over the years. Now, I'm not saying
that this individual was attacked by a leopard, because I
was not there and nobody has said he was. What
I'm saying is that there is has been a leopard
(07:27):
scene in the area for some twenty years or so.
At twenty years of age, this animal would probably have
been sick, injured, and hungry at the time, which makes
it potentially dangerous to anyone anythin it encounters it. The
lifespan of these animals can exceed twenty years if conditions
(07:49):
are favorable. That's the experts view, not mine, Sir Thomas.
Wherever the truth is this incident was suppressed. I do
not want to stick my head above the parapet. What
it needs is an outsider to look into it, perhaps
filing a freedom of information request to see what gets
flushed down. Now, I concept in our witness for your email,
(08:12):
ranged a call with Thomas and that called to up
place in the eighth of April. We chatted for an
hour or so whilst I was brought up to speed
and Thomas was able to give me more information that
will help you trying to unravel this strange and quite
disturbing case, which I think you will agree deserves a
(08:33):
deep dive. Thomas gave me all the information before we spoke,
so I was able to let him know about the
other reports in the area, all within a short distance
of Carbeck. He was familiar with several of those areas
and he let me know that many of them are
owned by the Ministry of Defense. First, I have transcribed
(08:57):
our phone conversation which Thomas is happy for me to
share with you. Thomas said, there is no one to
speak to you. Deb is that I think the information
I have is significant and there are a number of
red flags. I also believe we've been lied to by
the powers that be for a very long time, and
(09:18):
one of those lies is that the countryside is a
safe place to be, as at times it is not.
When I was younger, I spent time out in the
countryside all over the UK never gave it a second thought,
But now I wouldn't be going out in far reaching
places on my own anymore. Have a really bad feeling
(09:41):
about what's going on, and I've reached out to other
researchers and investigators with this information. As I feel it's
important for the general public to know that are some
very disturbing things happening, and it's been hidden and hushed up,
I believe by the authorities. Each summer, farmers around the
(10:02):
area make reports of bright lights seen from above circling
the fields in the woods. On One man's mystery demise
was white from the Internet within hours. The man went
missing in strange circumstances and was found deceased after a
couple of days. When I was looking for information on
the case, I came across one of your interviews deb
(10:25):
with a gentleman called Fred. He saw a werewolf like
creature at his window one night before he passed away.
I'm really familiar with the area and I've passed the
farming occasions in the past. Very close to where he
lives is an area called the Warrington Crossroads, and I
often refer to this as the Warrington Triangle due to
(10:45):
its position. There have been some very strange, unexplained cases
to all four directions, and there is a weird private
woodland that's posted for army cadets several bunkers sitting within it.
I believe this is central to the activity happening here
(11:07):
and reports the strange lights in the sky go back
to the nineteen fifties. Drivers on the road report their
cars just starling and stopping for no reason whatsoever. Jenny
Randalls gave an account from a gentleman who were in
the early August nineteen seventy three, was driving his Mini
(11:27):
in Northampton at around one thirty am on the A
four to eight. Thomas said, in Jenny Randalls's story, he
got as far as little and great hearted. He remembers
looking at the clock tower and on the old church
as he passed, and he noted the time at two am.
He was immediately hit with a bright white light and
(11:51):
his next memory he's coming to on the bridge at
Bromen in Bedford, he saw a man going out to
get his morning paper. You call the emergency services. The
man was taken to hospital for several days until deemed
to be okay. One thing to note is that I
seemed to remember when he was found he was wet
(12:14):
through and there had been no rain that night. Thomas
went on to add one strange aspect is that his
car was found by a farmer buster Turvy on the
other side of the Warrington crossroads. The carn in the
field was up, and in those days it was a
(12:34):
lot taller than the car plants you see now. The
farmer contacted the police, who attended and everyone was puzzled
as to how the car came to be in the field,
as there were no indentations of it entering the carfield.
In fact, it looked as if it had been dropped
in there from above. There's no explanation as to how
(12:59):
it got there. Thomas explained that he found that story
when he got the Internet in two thousand, but in
nineteen ninety five he had his own experience during the
winter months. He said, I remember driving through Clapping as
the new bypass hadn't been built then, so I was
(13:19):
on the A six ild usually set off a home
about five forty five pm. I remember it was a
filthy night and it just kept on raining constantly. The
roads were really slick like glass, and my head lights
were shining back at me. I was in a line
of traffic doing about fifteen twenty miles an hour, and
(13:40):
there was a chap sitting completely naked on the curb
side of the road and he sat with his head
in his knees with his arms wrapped around his knees.
At the time, it didn't stop and I didn't know
about the story of Jenny Randall shared until a few
years later, but there was something really off about the
(14:03):
whole situation. Now I see the connection, and I wonder
if what happened to the man in Jenny's story with
any connection to the man I saw that night in
the rain. I raised this as it adds to the
information on the area. So many strange things happen here.
It's a place where three countries meet. In fact, the
(14:25):
tribe order Stone is a short walk from the area
in the heart of this case. Thomas noticed a bright
light connection between the case shared by Jenny Randalls and
the man he saw. I mentioned that both men reminded
me of the Zigmund Adamska and is disappearing to Todmden
and is reappearing several weeks later. It was at this
(14:49):
point in the chat that I told Thomas about my
connection to Glassy Glemur, who was Fred's friend and Caro
but also a long time researcher of the Stranger. Explained,
he lives in the Bedford area and I've heard him
mention so many of the places that Thomas mentioned the
creature he's seen on occasion. He calls the Three Counties werewolf,
(15:13):
and I don't believe in for incidents. Both men are
researching unexplained in the same area without knowing each other,
and between them they have a massed a great deal
of information, which brings us back to the case which
prompted Thomas to contact me on other members of the
(15:34):
paranormal community, and now knowing the details, it's a very
worrying case indeed, of a man he goes missing only
to be found dead in unusual circumstances, and it seems
that the incident has been covered up. We've heard this before.
It centers on a local man and this man was
(15:55):
a beata at one of the shoots in the area. Now,
the man was in his sixties and he was employed
just for that day, and the shoot took place between
two and three. As Thomas explained, they'd done one last
drive and one of the birds was outstanding. So he's
the beata without his gun with his dog went in
(16:16):
to find it, and that should have been a really
quick thing because the dog's trained to do that, and
he just didn't come back when the another one of
the guys went back in there. The pen that's normally
closed was left open, you know. By eight o'clock the
police were stationed outside the wood, along with some members
(16:36):
of the shoote because they were asked to stay behind.
The Facebook post went up by his family that night,
but it was taken down quite quickly, and then he
was found around about eleven am the following day, which
would have been the Sunday. Paramedics were in attendance in
the field alongside spring Wood. Now, the man we don't
(16:59):
know if he was found deceased at that spot or
later on. We're not sure, and no official statement has
been made. And despite three freedom of information requests by Deborah,
he said, I can still not gain any details on
that case. I've tried three times to get information on
(17:21):
this case, and I'm going to keep trying until I
get some information in this case. Or the other question
I asked them was reports of black cats seen in
that area or large cats seen in that area around
a certain amount of time, And I'll go into that later.
Thomas went on to add one local man stated that
(17:42):
there were upwards of thirty officers out that night and
the man was found in an area that could have
been easily searched, meaning he was out there all night
and until the next day before he was found, and
he didn't go in and look for him. The woodblind
is very small, so he and I have no idea
(18:06):
how it's even possible to go missing in there. Other
than the police presidence, you wouldn't have known anything was happening.
Thomas said. The police had a house to house chirch
to see if anyone had seen him, but not be
had and nobody knows what happened to his dark The
man who was head of the shoe had made a
report some months earlier after he came face to face
(18:29):
with a large black cat. The wood in question is
stopped for shoots and there's a large pen where the
birds are raised, and it's an area used by people
for that reason. He said on that day he saw
a cat fit and it was in the brambles. They
looked at each other and he held himself together and
walk past it, so we know a large cat has
(18:52):
been seen in that area. In fact, there are several
reports in all of the counties of large black cats
not native to the UK, and sightings are increasing as
we know Thomas explained that in the past, as he
lived in a very rural area, there have been occasions
when he spotted apatchy helicopters in the field close to
(19:15):
his home. Often they're just hovering there. And that's the
area where he found the strange prince in the mud,
only three weeks after the incident of the missing man
at Springwood. The prints are pretty big and they are
no big dogs up where Thomas lives. It happened between
five six am. It had rained earlier the night, and
(19:39):
then they'd been a hard frost, so Thomas believes the
prints were made in the wet mud and then they'd
frozen over later, so there may be some distortion due
to the other conditions. The odd thing that stands out
is that there were no claw marks than any of
the prints. I look at my files and I realized
there's an area north of spring Wood and as a
(20:01):
report from a family who had a harrowing encounter with
a large cat. That was in twenty nineteen, so not
that long ago. Their family dog was attacked. And the
lady's name is Kayley Holmes. She was thirty one and
with her husband had him who was thirty nine, they'd
been out walking there by La Cross called Loke when
they came to face to face with the big cat.
(20:24):
Now Loki was only one, and she ran off into
the woodland, growling before emerging from the bushes with the
bloody claw mark between her eyes. Adam and manufacturing engineer
then went to investigate and was left frozen to the
spot when he saw the panther like creature lurking in
Wakeley Wood. The couple quickly rushed their pet cart to
(20:48):
the car and drove back to their home in Collie,
Western North Amts to report the incidents to the police.
They discovered Loki had also suffered cuts resembling laceration to
his front legs, so he took him to the emergency
bets and the following day to treat the wounds. One
of three, Kayley, said, what we saw was about two
(21:09):
or three times bigger than my dog, and it was
all black in color. It was scruffy looking and had
yellow eyes loaking. My dog comes up to my knees
where he's spy one kilo. He's not a small dog.
This thing was massive. It was massive compared to him,
and I don't know what else it could have been.
We noticed that he was growling at the woodline before
(21:32):
running in there, and then he quickly came back with
his scratch mark between his eyes. So my husband Adam,
went into the woods and that's when he saw it.
It was at the bottom of a hill. It looked
right at my husband and then it just sloped off
into the undergrowth. I think he was just frozen at
the time. It was about twenty meters away, but he
(21:55):
says it felt much closer than that. We got out
of there as fast as we could. When we got home,
we found located injuries to his black legs as well
as it cuts to his face and you can see
no domestic cat it caused that much damage. I contacted
the police and I was told that there had been
other similar reports made by other people in the area.
(22:19):
Cayley said, I've warned people on social media, but a
lot of people are saying that we're making it up.
I can totally assure them that we're not. I spoke
from him for Northamptonshire Police said to The Daily Star
Online that the dog walker said the beast was bigger
than their dog. On the twenty fifth of November twenty
(22:39):
twenty one I was contacted by a listener and the
chester to an area who explained what happened to them
on a dog walk and asked, I don't know if
it was a dog, a deer or a man. He
kept looking at me dog. So the witness said, right,
I've got something I've got to get off my chest.
I didn't want to say this last night because it's
(23:00):
Halloween and I didn't want to scare anybody's kids. But
the other night I went to the garage from my
dog and saw the weirdest, most strangest animal, dog looking
human thing all mixed up with the day and a fox.
I've never seen anything like it in my life. I
(23:21):
said to a young lad who was walking down where
I saw it. I said, I watch out, boy, there's
something weighed near you walk down there and he said,
oh yeah, Sam Lemurs. So if you're walking around Chesterton,
you just keep an eye out, she said. In December
two thousand and five, one local man made a report
(23:42):
to the BBC when he saw a strange creature near
Rushton and he said it was something sandy brown, possibly
a jungle cat, about as big as a border collie,
with distinctive markings and its tail and its lower back.
The animal paid at me before casually disappearing into the undergrowth.
(24:05):
All of these reports made me interested to have a
look and see what other cases were around a three
counties boundary, and I realized Thomas had spoke about Ministry
Defense land and it around in pockets in all of
the areas while our a f alconbra and the reports
of the hard Stand monster would fall into that. Now
(24:27):
that's often called the standing wolf, and it was seen
on the base by several serving personnel. In the nineteen seventies,
a group of three men along with the dogs, were
guarding the bunkers within a large fenced toff area. A
radio car went out informing the men that there was
an intruder within the perimeter and that shots had been fired.
(24:49):
The head guard could make out a figure in the fog,
and as he approached it, it screened in his space
and he described it as a man like bipedal pre
that bounded the fence to the north of the base.
The man described the creature as hairy, standing approximately five
foot nine in height, and it had intelligent human like eyes,
(25:12):
a flat nose, and large ears. The teeth were large,
but not fanged. The face was narrow around the eyes,
but the head flared out again at the top. It
had a very muscular frog like thighs, and he believes,
but he's not certain, that it had reverse articulated legs
(25:34):
like a horse. It was a mechanic on the base
who was carrying out some routine work to an F
five aircraft and it was parked on the runway and
he went missing whilst doing a job that should have
been completed in an hour when he failed to make
the telephone call checking in or requesting a lift back
(25:54):
from the hangar. A search went out to find him.
They found him sitting in the aircraft, white as a
sheet with the cannopy closed, and although they asked him
many times what it was that he'd seen, he refused
to go into great detail for fear you'd see it again.
But he described a terrifying, hairy humanoid which would walk
(26:17):
past the aircraft. Wesley up to Grove, who also saw
the humanoid creature, said he tried to pursue it in
an army truck as it escaped heading north of the base.
He described it as being five foot nine tall with
human like eyes, a flat nose and my jays sergeantly inside.
(26:40):
Jackson had a terrifying experience one night while on patrol
with their two dogs. They saw some movement near the
towers and called the main gate to check if any
workmen were still on side. As he approached the tower,
they came back face to face with the airy figure.
The dog stopped in their tracks, absolutely terrified, frantically trying
(27:03):
to get away. The truck arrived just in time to
see the creature whenever it was climbing over the security
fence where it was last sea, entering the northwards. Another
man who was in his twenties one year old at
the time and stationed at our a f Falcambra, we
saw the creature too, when it was in a secure
(27:25):
weapons storage area. It seemed shocked and surprised, had been
caught off guard, and the man who saw it froze
in total fright. He was armed with the thirty eight,
never considered using it. There was no aggression on its part.
It wasn't human, he said. It had a flat snout
on large eyes. His height was approximately five feet and
(27:48):
weighed around two hundred pounds. It was very muscular and thin.
It wore no clothing and was only moderately hair It
ran away on its hind legs and scurried over a
chain link fence and ran deep into the dense wooded
area next to the north end of the base. Thomas
(28:10):
mentioned case with the witness Spread, who lives in a
remote Bedfordshire farm which has had over the years all
manner of straining activity. Happened one one member of Fred's
family passed away at the farm in twenty eighteen. This Cara,
known as Glassy Gleamer, found strange dog like prints in
(28:31):
the mud below one of the windows at the farm.
They were also bangs and slapped on the walls of
the house. Something was making it into the garden, setting
the dog, which eventually led to a very frightening encounter
for the remaining resident and was for me one of
the hardest cases I've ever had. What I found hard
(28:53):
was listening to a man in complete distress in what
Sun would call the winter of his life. The emotion
and fear I heard over the telephone coming from Fred
touched me in a way that has stayed with me. Fred,
who was a lovely soul and he was confronted by
the wolf like creature as he was watching him through
his front room window in the middle of the night.
(29:15):
Its eyes ficks and Fred's, and it held his gaze.
Fred described the creature in great detail and was very
clear on what he saw. He also told me some
very interesting things that have happened in his village many
decades ago. It was said that there was a secret
tunnel used by silent nuns that were never seen, and
(29:38):
he only ever moved around in the dark. He would
bury their babies in the grounds. Now, the main thing
about the creature that Fred saw were its eyes, he said,
beheld his gaze. He was mesmerized by them. The creature
wrapped and tapped on the window pane with what was
neither a hand or a paw, something in between, judging
(30:00):
by the tracks left behind. It was tall and by
looking at the window and we could judge the higher
around seven foot. It had a longer muzzle than Fred's
dog or an Alsatian. He said, it looked like the
wolf in the Red Ridinghood film. It hit caneine tegue
then they were visible, and its top lip hung over them.
(30:24):
The hair of Colt, particularly under the jar, was scregglar
a bit like an Irish wolf found and it was
dark in color, not black, dark gray and think its
eyes were higher and more forward facing than the standard canine,
and Fred felt that the creature was hard to look at.
(30:44):
Its gaze made you want to look away from it.
The eyes grew wider with an expression. Fred said it
looked like it for a split second it had been
shocked of surprise that he'd seen it. The eyes were dark,
very little off white at the outer edges. The ears
on this thing weren't as tigh as a Doberman or
(31:06):
an Alsatian, but they had a slight fold or turning
over at the top of them. The eyes were the
main focus of the encounter, which pinned Fred when he
got out of bed onto his zimmer frame and looked
straight through the window at him. Fred and experienced animal
judge and it's worked with animals his whole life. Glassy
(31:28):
Gillia Map, who was Fred's good friend and care had
an encounter himself just before the Warrington roundabout and when
he saw a strange creature looking into the floodwaters of
the field. That was after the river roofs burst its
banks during the spring of cold. In fact, it took
place on the first of Ebruharree Glassy was on his
(31:53):
way to work earlier that morning, was so startled by
what he saw he waited until the end of his shift.
I went back in better light to see if it
was mistaken. He was open to debunk what he saw
that morning, but the return visit did not show anything
that could have confused him, as it being the figure
(32:13):
that had seen earlier that day. Last, he said, if
driving to work, I was moving along the route, I
could see the river and I kept getting glimpses of
something in the water in a flooded field. This thing
came from behind a hedgerow in the second field and
was wading through there, and it had very long hair.
Even at the cuff area of the arms. It was
(32:35):
easy to see. This had long hair, and you could
see the shape of it as it moved. It wasn't human.
It reminded me of the typical description of an early
wood wovest. The hare went over its hands and hung down.
There was a charcoal gray color, and it was silhouetted
against the water. Looking at it now and back here,
(32:58):
I could see there's nothing I could have miss taking
it far. He wasn't standing still to not be seen,
so I could not have possibly confused, you know, a
telephone pole or a tree for this thing. It was
a living thing, and it was wading through the water,
and I could see it clearly, and there's nothing that
big out here, and it was big. It came through
(33:21):
the water looking down every now and again. I saw
it put its hand over the water as it was
looking down looking for something. I slowed right down this
morning to about thirty five miles an hour, and there
were no other vehicles around early, so there were no
cars in front of me or behind me. I've got
(33:43):
a really good clear look at it. I formed the
impression it was fishing. You could see the long air
on its face as it went forward to looking to
the water. He was thick bodied thing. It must have
been at least eight pizza and was standing here. Now
I think about it, it might have been even taller. He
(34:03):
was also really thick and bulker. Now at this point
I should point out that neither Thomas or myself are
saying that all of these incidents are connected. What we're
saying is in certain parts of the UK there are
areas by strangeness and this Tri County area seems to
(34:27):
be one of those, between the sitings of large cats,
numerous wolf like creatures, several wol sidings. The area indeed
is one of mistra It has all the things we
look for in areas of high strangeness. What's the airlines,
county borders, nature reserves, and old Ministry of Defense, land
(34:48):
golf courses and many are close to operating military basis.
Now the UFO reports in this area continue to come in,
along with so many large cat reports that I'm leaning
towards Thomas's advice that we really are not that safe
in the countryside and we could be shadowed, starped and
(35:12):
followed without ever knowing it. The man who went missing
was an avid outdoorsman. He was in a woody knew well,
with a dog that he trusted. What happened to him?
And why was the woodland not searched by the police.
In fact, it was cordered off with offices so no
(35:35):
search could take place. Where was there no mention of
this case in the local press and even the national papers.
The man went missing and was found in unusual circumstances. Yeah,
there is no trace of any that I can find online.
He was not the only man to go missing and
be found in unusual circumstances in the area, though one
(35:58):
case happened earlier this months, around the time that Thomas
first contacted me. On the eighth of April twenty twenty five,
police called off a search after a man was found
deceased in mysterious circumstances after being missing for several weeks.
His bike was found a number of miles from his body.
(36:21):
The man's name was Kyle and that's the only name
we've given and he went missing from his hometown of
Reading on March twenty six and was then last sighted
on the same day in Mayor Fair, walking toward Saint
Peter's Way in Northampton. The thirty six year old Master
cycle was later recovered by police parked up in a
(36:44):
car park on the junction of Marlborough and Byfield Road. However,
nearly three weeks on f him when he was last seen,
the search was sadly called off after a member of
the public contacted Northamptonshire Police to report that they had
found a man's body in mudland near the A forty eight.
Detective Inspector Stuart's Streeter said sadly a man's body has
(37:07):
been found this weekend. A coronial investigation will be carried out. However,
it is apparent that there does not appear to be
any spisious circumstances surrounding his deaths Earlier last year, the
same thing happened in the Stonic Lake area on the
first of August twenty twenty four. MY body discovered in
(37:31):
water at a country park had been identified as a
man who went missing on the twenty eighth of April.
Jamie Attwood, who was thirty seven and from around in Northamptonshire,
was found dead at around six pm. Search is involved
in the National Police Air Service had been underway in
(37:51):
the area. North Hampshire Police a bass for the public's
help and piecing together what happened to mister Atwood after
the last confirmed sign of him. Now a police investigation
was launched after mister Atwood's family reported him missing from
his home, which is just a short trek to the
area where the beta went missing. After the shoot, it's
(38:14):
been established that he'd been seen five miles away in
Earthlingborough on the afternoon of the twenty seventy day Live.
Now it's not clear where he goes between that sighting
on the Saturday and the discovery of his body on Wednesday.
The case is close to the area of Rushton where
(38:35):
a man saw a ginormous jungle like cat and that
was seen in two thousand and six. Now Thomas has
asked me if I could make a freedom of information
requests for the area as a whole, the case of
the missing Beta and for any large cat sightings reported
to the authorities in the three counties, and that's what
I've done. I'm currently trialing local newspaper archives, community group
(39:00):
post several Pacebook groups in the hopes of finding out
any information that could possibly be available. Well, maybe you
could help with that. Do you have any information and
strange activity in the areas mentioned tonight? Have you seen
a large cat or other animal that was hard to
identify that would fit the description with the beast of
(39:24):
brick Stock or do you have information about cases that
fall into the Warrington triangle or the Three Counties werewolf cases.
I'm starting to believe my freedom of information requests are
being censored because, as far as I'm aware, you always receive,
and I have done in the past, a confirmation email
(39:45):
notification after submitting an FOI request and that has not happened.
In this case. The request should be then answered within
twenty working days. So today I've applied again. You have
information on Ministry of Defense land no or unknown for
(40:06):
the areas I've mentioned. Tonight now I will be chatting
with Thomas again and I have done in between our
first conversation and me making this today, and I will
bring you an update on this case as they come in,
and I'm going to sit down with Thomas as well,
because he feels it was a very early incident in
(40:28):
his life where he feels like something's attached to him
and it has come almost close to his home, if
you get what I mean, and almost like the hitchhiker
effect kind of thing. But I'll explain more in a
later podcast. Now, next week we'll hear from listeners who
have seen werewolves here in the UK, and i'll share
(40:51):
a case with it from Leading Yorkshire that we're calling
Watley Werewolf. Make sure you're tune in for that one
the same day in the same time next week. Good
night everyone, sh
