WEBVTT 1 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.719 Hello everybody, you're welcome back. Thank you very much for 2 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.119 joining me. Tonight we'll be discussing missing people and a 3 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.840 possible cryptid connection to them. Earlier this week, I was 4 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.280 asked by a fellow researcher if I knew of any 5 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.920 cases that resemble the missing four oh one files that 6 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.079 you hear about in Canada and US. You know where 7 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.560 people are vanished in areas that are connected to cryptid reports, 8 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:56.880 so I thought i'd share some of the ones from 9 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.600 the UK with you. Sadly, it's impossible to get official 10 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.120 figures for how often this has happened over the years. 11 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.000 Even the National Parks will not give any information on 12 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.959 the number of people who vanish in forested areas in 13 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.599 the UK annually. Many of my listeners in the UK 14 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.040 will know of cases like this or to their home. 15 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.640 Some prime hotspots Sir Araf Bempton Mechanic Chase, but it 16 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.879 happens all across Great Britain. In an area of Wales, 17 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.719 there is a mystery surrounding the disappearance of Treveline Evans 18 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.159 now trevely Line is a fifty two year old woman 19 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.879 who vanished without a trace from her antique shop and Clangolum. 20 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.400 On Saturday, the sixteenth of June nineteen ninety Traveline opened 21 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.760 to shop Attic Antiques on Church Street at the usual 22 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.719 time of nine point thirty. She had parked of dark 23 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:59.680 blue escot about two hundred yards away. During the morning, 24 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.719 she had many friends calling and visitors and people had 25 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.760 come to buy things from the shop, and each and 26 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.360 every one of them said she appeared relaxed, happy, and 27 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.680 had made plans to go out the night after she 28 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.159 finished work. The weather that day, according to the police, 29 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.960 was sunny and the town center was busy but with 30 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.240 no unusual activity. About twenty to one, Trevor Lyne left 31 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.159 a note on the front door of a shop saying 32 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.879 that she'd be back in two minutes. She was never 33 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.680 seen again. It is known that she bought an apple 34 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.879 and a banana and was seen crossing nearby Castle Street 35 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.719 as a banana skin was found in a dustbin in 36 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.080 the shop after this time, so it thought she must 37 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.919 have returned there. However, this has never been confirmed. But 38 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.039 Evan's handbag, car keys, and jacket, along with fruit and 39 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.879 flowers that she'd intended to take home, were left behind 40 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.639 in the shop, and her car remained where it had 41 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.240 been left. The last confirmed sighting of her was near 42 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.560 her home around about two point thirty, which is just 43 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.639 on Market Street. There were two more suspected sightings but 44 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.120 they couldn't been proven. One at two thirty five PM 45 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.879 of a woman matching her description seen walking along town 46 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.080 towards the A five towards Corwin, and she was walking 47 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:30.199 besides the Riverside Park aad quarters of four. There was 48 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.000 another sighting this town of a woman walking into Park 49 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.159 Avenue from the direction of the River D. Every household 50 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.599 in Clangolin, as well as scores of people from further afield, 51 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.680 were interviewed. More than one thy five hundred names were 52 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.319 checked and about seven hundred vehicles were eliminated from the 53 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.039 inquirer Searches of the River d and the canal. The 54 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.599 mine chats and caves in Clangollen area were carried out, 55 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.360 but no trace was found. An artist impression of a 56 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.879 man in a blaze or apparently seen near the shop 57 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.439 was drawn and circulated, but there was no use to 58 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:12.039 the investigation. Her husband was arrested in two thousand and one, 59 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.639 but the police had nothing to charge him with and 60 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.560 they had to release him. In nineteen ninety three, police 61 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.959 sniffer dog searched a canal near Clangole after a woman 62 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.439 wrote to the police station that she had been overwhelmed 63 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.040 by a feeling that Trevor Iron was nearby. But today 64 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.920 nothing has been found to explain where she went or 65 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.959 where she ended a journey of life, and none of 66 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.279 her belongings that she had on her were found over 67 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.680 the intervening years to wear her shoes and her clothes 68 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.279 the antique shop and the areas where she was said 69 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.240 to have been seen. Those areas are very close to 70 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.319 the River Dee. Along the railway line there is access 71 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.120 to woodland where a dark, upright doglike creature was seen. 72 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.279 In twenty sixteen, a woman who lives on a rural 73 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.360 farm in the area said, I live in North Wales 74 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.399 in the mountains, not far from Plangolly, and this is 75 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.360 a new home Furrows and we've lived here for almost 76 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.160 a year now. The very old house and no one 77 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.480 has lived in for thirty years, which is built in 78 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.439 between two old yew trees. We have four acres of 79 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.360 woodland coppice behind the cottage and that banks onto a 80 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.800 wood that leads to the forest nearby. And when we 81 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.079 moved in. I started to explore the land behind the 82 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.800 garden near the house and work out where I was 83 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.600 going to put the polytunnel, you know, and plan the 84 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.439 possibility of creating a forest garden and kind of sort 85 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.639 out the clearing space for things. It's pretty wild and 86 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.839 thick with brambles, etc. I should explain that I'm a herbalist, 87 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.839 so I grow and forage almost daily. And as soon 88 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.439 as I went up to the level and looked to 89 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.000 the left where it was quite heavily wooded and dark, 90 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.600 saying in rhododendron bush, and I felt immediately uneasy, which 91 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.399 is odd for me, because I love the woods and 92 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.399 go out foraging, etc. And well always fell a home 93 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.759 and out and about in the wilderness. A few days 94 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.920 after clearing the space for the polytannel, we had a 95 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.720 bonfire to get rid of all the brash. It was damp, 96 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.120 so the fire made a lot of smoke until it 97 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.040 eventually got going and burnt itself down. It was getting 98 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.800 dark and I needed to put the tea on, so 99 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.680 I left my partner to keep an eye on the 100 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.519 fire and if I went it was good. Twenty minutes 101 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:45.519 later he came running into the house, saying something was 102 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.279 sliding down the bank towards him, but he couldn't see 103 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.920 a thing. He could hear it, and he could tell 104 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.959 it was getting nearer and nearer, and he was really 105 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.800 genuinely scared. He said he couldn't see anything. The next 106 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.040 thing that happened that was unusual was when I was 107 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.199 sat up in a hazel coppice, just chilling out. I 108 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.480 was watching the squirrels and I think, and all of 109 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.000 a sudden, it was a big next to me. It 110 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.000 came from behind, as if something big had flown past 111 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.000 my head, and I could feel the wind it made 112 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.199 on my face as it passed. And I really expected 113 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.680 to see a buzzard fly down a perch on one 114 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.000 of the trees, but there was nothing all to be seen, 115 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.399 and that was really impossible because of where it would 116 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.920 have had to fly to exit the wood. I'd have 117 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.600 seen it. It was a wooshing rush of wind, and 118 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.319 it was long not long after this that I finally 119 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.680 saw the creature. I was walking my dog in the 120 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:56.360 late afternoon in the beginning of October twenty nineteen. I 121 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.639 decided to go down to the river, which is a 122 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.519 small wooden bridge that you can cross it on an 123 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.759 ancient pathway. There. They're a very old church not far 124 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:08.480 from my cottage. I got to where there's a big 125 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.639 oat tree on the bank that looks down into the 126 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.720 ravine in which the river flows through. That's where the 127 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.360 bridge is. The trail then leads off onto another pathway 128 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.079 takes you to an old farm, and as I looked 129 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:25.560 down towards a bridge, I could see something and it 130 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.240 was big and black, and it was coming down that path, 131 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.000 running towards a bridge from the direction of the old farm. 132 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.039 I actually thought, oh shit, because the cow's roam free here, 133 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.320 and you know how they can be when the dogs 134 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.919 are around. But as he got nearer, it became clear 135 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.080 to me that I was looking at was not a 136 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.440 cow or a sheep or anything like that. It was 137 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:55.200 jet black and it looked like a giant wolf. But 138 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.960 it was walking upright on two legs. It had broad 139 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.759 shoulders and a arm, and it had a thin waist, 140 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.360 and compared to the rest of its body, I cannot 141 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.240 say that it had canine legs of front facing knees 142 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.799 or anything like that, but it was definitely upright, just 143 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.519 like a human would be. It stopped at the end 144 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.919 of the path and it's just stood looking towards the bridge, 145 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:26.240 and its chest was heaving like it was having trouble breathing, 146 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.679 or it just you know, there was no breath to it. 147 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.559 It was trying to get its breath back, and for 148 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.919 a few seconds I just stared at it in disbelief, 149 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:40.159 and then all of a sudden it was gone. A 150 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.080 few weeks later I cleared a path near the falling 151 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.399 spruce that leads to a gate at the end of 152 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.480 our wood. It wasn't too much work, and after clearing 153 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:53.399 brambles and you know, bending and snapping a few branches 154 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.919 out of the way, it was done. The next day 155 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.519 I went out to use the path and i'd cleared, 156 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.559 and at the entrance to it there was a hazel 157 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.120 branch that had been bent over and it was being 158 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.279 held down by a broken log, literally blocking the path 159 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.120 I had made. I went, I got my partner and 160 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.759 asked him what he thought, because to me, there was 161 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.480 no way that could have happened on its own, in 162 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.799 my mind anyway, and he agreed. I have not moved 163 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:28.120 the log or used the path because I feel something 164 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.159 doesn't want me going in that part of the woods. 165 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.320 Last summer before I saw the creature down near the bridge, 166 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.360 I decided to get a dog from the local rescue 167 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.320 and I obviously took him up to the woods to 168 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.480 explore and have a bit of fun, you know, playing 169 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.639 with a stick. I didn't really know why, but he 170 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.159 kept running off as if to chase something, and I 171 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.200 thought it was squirrels, because we have a lot of 172 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.200 them here. But when I caught up with him, he 173 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.360 would just stand barking with his heckels up and the 174 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.679 you know, and he'd be there back a tree, just 175 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.039 a thin air, which I thought was very odd, and 176 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.799 day by day it got worse, and he would just 177 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.600 stand near the house, backing at the fence and the 178 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.480 gate that led to the wood. And if you took 179 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.600 him out of the same you know, walk, you do 180 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.879 the same thing over and over again. Sadly, he never 181 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.279 settled and we had to find a quieter home for him. 182 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.320 We do have a new dog, and she too is 183 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:33.720 experiencing things on the land and at home. I spoke 184 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.600 to our witness and we both realized that she was 185 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.120 very much connected to the earth and nature. And the 186 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.279 home was built between two yew trees and as we 187 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:48.000 know that can sometimes be a gateway into the very realm. 188 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.480 I think it's a connection to the land that's important 189 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:55.480 here because there is another report of a bear like 190 00:11:55.559 --> 00:12:00.200 creature seen by a wire camper and his son just 191 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.360 a few years ago. Now Wild Camp is known as 192 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.840 mikeh and he contacted me because he'd seen a creature 193 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.320 he couldn't identify it in the Klangolan area. He said 194 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.879 it was twenty seventeen. Mike He told me himself he 195 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.320 was certain that he'd seen the same bear like creature 196 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.480 seen in the area by other campers when he was 197 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.559 camping with his son. He explained that he saw a 198 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.799 large bodied, hair covered creature which was close to his 199 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.279 camp and it moved off into the brush when it 200 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.080 got close. Now, this area is known for big cat sightings, 201 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.320 and Mikey himself has seen cats in the area. So 202 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.080 one time he told me about being start by a 203 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.960 big cat. In turn, he started that cat that day 204 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.399 and found out where it went, but he could not 205 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.639 identify the creature he saw in twenty seventeen. Now, there 206 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.559 is a further account at the Ponderosa Cafe where a 207 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.360 couple so what they described as a lie large black bear. 208 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.600 It was walking upright like a human. Now, I'm not 209 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.080 suggesting that Missus Evans was a victim of a cryptic creature. 210 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:15.080 I'm just exploreing the correlation. But what I have noticed 211 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.320 is that in a number of the places where we 212 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.919 have strange disappearances, we also see reports of cryptic creatures. 213 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.080 Is the land there cursed and is this why people 214 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.559 are affected by it or vanished because of it? There 215 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.960 is also a high number of people to take their 216 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.720 own life in these areas. Now, this happens globally and 217 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.200 not just in the UK. Over the years, people have 218 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.240 been making the connection themselves, now that it's far easier 219 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.559 to access information on the web. Now, there is one 220 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.919 case in the UK. It's very puzzling, and it's puzzled 221 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.440 online Sluice for a couple of years now, and it 222 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.759 still baffles me, not only in the vanishing of the 223 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.720 feat femail driver, but also in the way she seemed 224 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:07.279 to act against most women's natural instinct, you know, when 225 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.399 they find themselves in the dangerous situation. But first let's 226 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.440 look at the cryptid reports in the area. In one 227 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.559 of the cases, a man is physically pulled from his 228 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:23.799 tent by something unseen, and this happened in the Drundonald 229 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.360 Hill area. Now it is said that fearful locals have 230 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.799 been reporting a strange ape like beast that has been 231 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:36.279 seen on several occasions in the Dundonald area. For centuries, 232 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:40.039 it is said that the hill of Dundonald was the 233 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:44.879 home of a horrible creature, and not many people dared 234 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.039 venture out onto the hills alone or with outward reason. 235 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.720 The dogs of people walking, or are the ones owned 236 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.919 by the castle, were said to become very restless, agitated 237 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.759 and excited at times while looking out towards the hill, 238 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:07.519 barking and yelping, but never under any circumstances would they 239 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.799 wander up there, and that's the same behavior as the 240 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.679 dogs on the barn. He said that frightened locals have 241 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:20.360 reported shadows that haunt the trees. One badly shaken man 242 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.120 related how when walking on the hill, he heard whispering 243 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.720 voices behind him and turning around he saw nothing, and 244 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.840 this happened two or three times before he decided to 245 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.279 take solace with the stiff drink in the local bar. 246 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.440 Another man reported seeing two ghostly, squat shaped featureless shadows 247 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:47.519 that were trailing him by hiding behind the nearby trees. 248 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.960 These shadows that merged together and became one, growling and 249 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.879 then growing to there twice their size, and he then 250 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.559 left the hill, not wanting to see what happened next. 251 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:05.600 The same entity has also been described as being able 252 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.639 to jump straight into the branches of the trees. Don 253 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:14.000 Donald Hill is said to exude an air of oppressiveness, 254 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.960 and several people have taken their own lives, and at 255 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.440 least one murder has happened there in modern times. Now 256 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.440 we don't know what happened back in time, what the 257 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:28.000 land went through. It could hold the essence of something 258 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:33.799 brooding and evil. Josephine Aldridge from England says she will 259 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.720 never go up down Donald Hill again as long as 260 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.879 she lives. She had recently been spending a little time 261 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:44.360 in Kilmarnock in the summer of nineteen ninety four, deciding 262 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.159 on the day she visited dun Donald Castle. Now, whilst 263 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.879 walking on the hill, her two labrador dogs suddenly went berserk. 264 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.840 They were running around in circles, growling and snapping at 265 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.639 the air, before finally slinking to the ground as far 266 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.960 as they could go. The tails tuck beneath them. The 267 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:09.240 poor things were then seen crawley backwards in obvious terror. 268 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:15.880 Then Josephine saw this huge creature which appeared some distance 269 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.920 to the side of her. She hadn't noticed it before, 270 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.480 and she was certain that if it had been there earlier, 271 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.119 she would most certainly have seen it. It did not 272 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.720 seem to be solid, as Josephine could see the grass 273 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.559 of the hill through its body, but it was covered 274 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:39.640 in longish, charcoal colored hair. It made no indentations in 275 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:44.119 the grass, and Josephine, on reflection, thought it almost ghost like, 276 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.599 she said. The thing that struck the most terror was 277 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:53.240 its eyes. She described them as two long slits which 278 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.880 glowed a bright red color. She said it had two 279 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.920 holes where the nose should have been, and very thick lips. 280 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.480 In fact, it was not dissimilar to a gorilla in 281 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.960 shape and stance, although it stood well over ten feet 282 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:14.720 tall on two legs. Now, when confronted by the strange sight, 283 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.960 Josephine began to pray. Now the creature, after a few moments, 284 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:23.400 slowly faded out of sight, but the dog's attitude never changed, 285 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:29.880 and Josephine felt sure that the monster was still around, 286 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.559 Josephine left on Donald Hill in a hurry, not too 287 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:39.000 far behind her whimpering dogs. Now another local man, using 288 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.880 the pseudonym George, said that he liked to spend a 289 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.160 lot of time fishing, walking, and camping in the area, 290 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.720 and he decided to spend a night on the hill 291 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.359 during the summer of nineteen ninety three. George calling his dog, 292 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.599 who had never left his side since it had been 293 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.839 a pup, He arrived just after the sun began to set. 294 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.720 He erected his one man tent, besigning to settle down 295 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.920 with a book before turning in for the night. He 296 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.519 lay on top of his sleeping bag, fully dressed. After 297 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.960 about an hour, George saw a shadow passed by the 298 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.519 side of his tent. He was caught in the lamplight. 299 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.920 It's not it strange that nobody would be in the 300 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.519 area this time of night. Again, the shadow loomed over 301 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:28.720 the tent. It was at this point that George heard 302 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:33.759 a terrible sound. It was a rasping, breathing noise right 303 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.480 up to the tent. But by now he'd convinced himself 304 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.799 that some of his friends had followed him up. And 305 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:42.839 we're playing a joke on him, so he thought he 306 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.200 wouldn't react, and he laid down again with his book 307 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.279 and tried to ignore it, but he said, his heart 308 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:54.519 then leapt into his mouth as the whole tent began 309 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:58.240 to shape violently, as though somebody had tripped over the 310 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:03.680 guide rope. This, George went outside to look. His nervousness 311 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:08.079 turned into apprehension when he found the area outside totally deserted. 312 00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:12.359 He clickly went back inside the tent, securing the flaps 313 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:14.839 as tight as he could, and by this time his 314 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.640 dog was whimpering, cowering in the corner, and then the 315 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.720 tent began to sway, as if caught in strong winds. 316 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.640 George sat on top of his sleeping bag, now too 317 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:32.839 scared to even contemplate sleeping. The secured flaps suddenly burst 318 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.279 wide open, and the dog, who had never left Georgie side, 319 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.279 gave out an almighty yelp and ran off into the darkness. 320 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:49.240 Someone or something then grabbed hold of George's ankle. Slowly 321 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.319 but surely, the man was pulled out of his tent 322 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.519 and he could see no one, and he struggled desperately, 323 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.960 but the grip did not loosen. When he'd been pulled 324 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.359 about ten feet clear of the tent's entrance. The invisible 325 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:09.480 force lifted George clear off the floor. His head was 326 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.960 about two inches off the grass. The sky became black, 327 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.519 and a huge thunderclap rang out, and a streak of 328 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:21.240 lightning flashed across the sky. And then suddenly the grip lessened, 329 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.759 and this thing let go of his ancle and George 330 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:29.440 fell limp onto the grass. Petrified, George ran back to 331 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.200 the tent, the sky clearing as he did so. He 332 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.279 then spent a very tense night sat at the entrance 333 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:39.960 of the tent, being too scared to make his way 334 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.599 home in the darkness, jumping at every little noise that 335 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.000 the night made, which seemed to surround him like some 336 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.359 huge black blanket. He'd call the dog often, with each 337 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.480 time the dog failed to answer. Morning eventually came, and 338 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.519 after packing away his belongings, he headed down on the hill, 339 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.920 and as he reached the bottom, his dog came bounding 340 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:06.559 out of the undergrowth towards him, and they both went 341 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.440 home together. George has never been up the hill since, 342 00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:14.160 and he has no intentions of ever doing so again. 343 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.119 He can offer no explanation as to what happened to him, 344 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:23.680 only that it was very real. He does express some 345 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.319 hurt at the dog leaving him a thing which it 346 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:32.079 had never done before. But as dogs, unlike humans, do 347 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.480 not question, they got instincts. I have no doubt it 348 00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:40.440 hid itself away from danger. He was acting on primal instinct. 349 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.079 I say, often don't know, as humans are the only 350 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.400 creatures on the planet that reason away then natural instinct. 351 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.960 In the next case, I have a hard time understanding 352 00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.920 why the lady who became stranded within half a mile 353 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:02.079 of a well lick town walked a mile in the 354 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:09.440 opposite direction at night into dark fields. The only explanation 355 00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:12.519 I can come up with is that she thought something 356 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:16.920 prevented her from getting to safety. Now, just south of 357 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:19.960 Dondammode along the coast Road, and there's a small town 358 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.160 of Muncton which itself has a strange mystery attached to 359 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:28.720 it concerning an ape like creature, and also the mystery 360 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:33.000 of a long female who was found killed by foxes 361 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:38.559 and badgers in January of nineteen ninety nine. The police 362 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.720 of the area were contacted by several people who reported 363 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:47.000 and escape Baboon, a spokesperson for straft like police said 364 00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.759 we received a call from a local man who said 365 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.440 he narrowly avoided hitting a baboon like creature on shore 366 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.559 Farm Road. A patrol power was sent out and after 367 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:01.359 a search of the area, the officer reported seeing an 368 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:05.559 animal of some sort that they couldn't describe, and they 369 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.680 said they could not be sure what it was. Checks 370 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.759 were made at the airport, which had received a large 371 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.079 cargo of livestock, but there were no reports of any 372 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.599 escape baboons, apes or animals. On the tenth of January 373 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:24.119 twenty twenty two, it was reported in the local Metro 374 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:28.359 that a woman's body had been found eaten by foxes 375 00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:31.640 after she left her broken down car and a dark night. 376 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:35.880 The unidentified fifty five year old was found by sniffer 377 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:40.599 dogs in Munkton on December nineteenth. Now it's believed her 378 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.920 body may have been partially eaten by badgers or foxes 379 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.160 in a field a mile from the spot where her 380 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.200 car broke down. The fifty five year old from Airdrea 381 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.559 was waiting for roadside assistance to arrive in mid December, 382 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.039 and she walked a mile away from a stranded vehicle 383 00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.799 and into by fields in the west of the counter 384 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.759 police found a body less than a week before Christmas 385 00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:12.720 around five to five pm on December nineteenth. They've been 386 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.279 conducting a missing person inquirer after the woman's citron was 387 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.880 found empty the day before near the coastal village of Munkton. 388 00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:27.680 A Police Scotland spokesman said around eleven twenty pm on 389 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:32.359 December eighteenth, police were called top of a possible abandoned 390 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.279 car on an unclassified road. Offices attended and the initial 391 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:42.000 investigations failed to trace the registered keeper and officers started 392 00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:46.039 a missing person inquirer. The spokesperson added a day later 393 00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:49.680 that the women's body were recovered in a field approximately 394 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:54.039 one mile from where the car was discovered. The area 395 00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.920 where this happened is less than a mile away from 396 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:01.000 where the police searched for the baboon. Is there a 397 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:07.039 connection between these cases? That really isn't my main question, 398 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:10.680 although it is prevalent. I think my main question is 399 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.519 why does she leave that car? The weather that night 400 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.680 was typical for the area for winter, and the car 401 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:22.599
