Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back. Thank you very much for
Speaker 1: joining me. My name is Jabrahtswell, and you're listening to
Speaker 1: BBR Investigations. Tonight, I'll be sharing a number of listeners
Speaker 1: experiences that have come into BBR since twenty twenty. Each
Speaker 1: report is written by the witness themselves and simply transcribed
Speaker 1: the words I did some of my thoughts on their cases,
Speaker 1: and I'll share some cases that are also startling similar.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the case from Sleaford in Yorkshire, a
Speaker 1: county here in the UK known for its cryptid and
Speaker 1: paranormal encounters. It has a rich history running back centuries
Speaker 1: in time, and even in modern times, amongst the hustle
Speaker 1: and bustle of busy areas, people still experienced the most
Speaker 1: extraordinary of things. The lady who shared this experience with
Speaker 1: me wishes to remain anonymous, so I will refer to
Speaker 1: her as d D. Lives in the Sleaford area. This
Speaker 1: took place in twenty twelve, and she said, Hi, Diabeth,
Speaker 1: I've been listening to your YouTube videos. I'm wondering whether
Speaker 1: you'd be interested in hearing of my experience. It was
Speaker 1: sometime in twenty twenty when my home in Sleaford with
Speaker 1: my youngest starter after visiting my other daughter and her husband,
Speaker 1: and they live in Grimsbeth. We've been gone a few
Speaker 1: days and my son, who was twenty at the time,
Speaker 1: was looking after the house and had three cats. When
Speaker 1: I got to the door that night, I noticed that
Speaker 1: it wasn't locked, and all the lights in the house
Speaker 1: had been left on. I went aside and looked upstairs
Speaker 1: to see if my son was there, and I was
Speaker 1: going to ask him why all the lights had been
Speaker 1: left on. I looked up there, and as I looked
Speaker 1: at the stairs, there was a dark figure in the
Speaker 1: bathroom at the top of the stairs. I called my
Speaker 1: son's name. Something was odd. I knew that it wasn't him.
Speaker 1: I didn't take my eyes off this black figure. They
Speaker 1: had no features, it was just pure black, and I
Speaker 1: started walking upstairs towards it. I felt angry that it
Speaker 1: was in my house. I wasn't scared at all. As
Speaker 1: I walked up the stairs, it moved across the bathroom.
Speaker 1: He sort of glided slowly from one end to the
Speaker 1: other end. I kept my eyes on it, but I
Speaker 1: was nearly at the top of the stairs. The banister
Speaker 1: blocked my view, so when I got to the top
Speaker 1: it had completely gone. I checked the bedrooms and my
Speaker 1: three caps were clearly terrified. They were scrambling to get
Speaker 1: under the bed. On one of them jumped right across
Speaker 1: the bed, absolutely terrified. I've never seen them like that now.
Speaker 1: The front and the back door were both unlocked, and
Speaker 1: every light in the house was on. My son later
Speaker 1: told me he had definitely locked up before going to work,
Speaker 1: and there were no lights left on when he left.
Speaker 1: My youngest artery was sixteen at the time, went into
Speaker 1: a bedroom and saw that her posters that had been
Speaker 1: on the wall were on the floor, and everything that
Speaker 1: was on a bed had been shoved in a pile
Speaker 1: onto the floor. She tried to entice the cats out
Speaker 1: from under the bed with trees, but they wouldn't come out.
Speaker 1: Was really unlike them. They normally will do anything for
Speaker 1: a tree. The following morning, I went to get out
Speaker 1: of bed and on the rug beside my bed was
Speaker 1: a monkey peach with what looked like a whole pack
Speaker 1: of hair clips individually hooked around the string. Both the
Speaker 1: monkey charm and the hair clips were previously in my
Speaker 1: bed room draw. There would be no way of them
Speaker 1: being moved from that drawer without waking me up. It
Speaker 1: require a lot of rummaging to get them all together.
Speaker 1: One thing I found strange about this is that when
Speaker 1: I came in the front door and looked, only then
Speaker 1: did the figure start slowly moving. It seemed like it
Speaker 1: waited for me to enter the house and look up,
Speaker 1: as if it wanted me to see it, even turning
Speaker 1: on all the lights of the house. It was years
Speaker 1: later I heard about other people seeing this black figure
Speaker 1: or what they call the hat man. I've never seen
Speaker 1: it before, not since, so I'm baffled as to why
Speaker 1: it came that day. I hope my story might be
Speaker 1: of interest to others. Cases I've heard are at night,
Speaker 1: you know, or during lucy dreaming or something like that.
Speaker 1: This was around four in the afternoon, although it was
Speaker 1: dark because it was wintertime. I lived in that house
Speaker 1: for thirteen years when it happened, and about six months
Speaker 1: after the shadow man incident, we moved as we were
Speaker 1: wanting to live nearer to.
Speaker 2: My daughter in rooms, Beth.
Speaker 1: What was also what is when we were moving in
Speaker 1: that November, everything went perfect, and I mean perfect. There
Speaker 1: was so many coincidence and things fitting into place that
Speaker 1: it was like something was helping us to move. But
Speaker 1: it was all good, and I wonder if all that's connected.
Speaker 1: My son said he had a friend over when I
Speaker 1: was out, and his friend went to the bathroom and
Speaker 1: when he came back downstairs, he looked shuck up. My
Speaker 1: son asked what was up, and he said that he'd
Speaker 1: looked in the mirror and saw his face, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't his space and it wasn't mirroring what he was doing.
Speaker 1: Some of his other friends said the street was known
Speaker 1: to be haunted, but that was the only incident that
Speaker 1: I had to share. That must have been absolutely startling
Speaker 1: to come home and witness that come in the house
Speaker 1: and there at the top of the stairs, it's a
Speaker 1: completely black shadow figure with no discernible features. I wonder
Speaker 1: if it was connected to the house or to the
Speaker 1: land that the house was built on. I shared a
Speaker 1: case earlier in the year very similar to this, and
Speaker 1: it took place in Trent Country Park where a student
Speaker 1: had seen a strange shadow shape being that looked like
Speaker 1: a human, and he saw it on two occasions. After
Speaker 1: the episode aired, and I was contacted through the BBR
Speaker 1: website by a lader who wanted to share her experience
Speaker 1: in the same country park, and she said, Hi, I
Speaker 1: had a really similar experience to the one the student had,
Speaker 1: but mine was a few years before. However, it was
Speaker 1: at the opposite end of the day. I went walking
Speaker 1: with my friend behind the old mansion where they used
Speaker 1: to be the water gardens Phillips has soon had built
Speaker 1: for his wife. It was around two thousand and two.
Speaker 1: We went off the beaten track. We were trying to
Speaker 1: get back to the oakward entrance of the park. We've
Speaker 1: been walking for a while. When the sunlight started to fade,
Speaker 1: I felt like we were walking in a circle. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I had a feeling like I shouldn't
Speaker 1: be there, and when I looked around at my surroundings,
Speaker 1: I noticed a shadowy figure. It was human shaped, but
Speaker 1: with no discernible features. I didn't look at it for
Speaker 1: too long. I just said to my friend that we
Speaker 1: should maybe walk back, as we needed to get home
Speaker 1: before it got too dark. I mentioned this to anyone
Speaker 1: until my sister and Laura and I were talking about
Speaker 1: BBR and she told me about the story that you shared.
Speaker 1: I read this account of your experience step and it
Speaker 1: made me think that what I saw wasn't just a
Speaker 1: trick of delight on my imagination like I'd originally thought.
Speaker 1: Did you notice in both descriptions it said that it
Speaker 1: was completely black and it didn't have any discernible features. Well,
Speaker 1: another listener shared with me some horrifying experiences that had
Speaker 1: when they were much younger, and I also centered on
Speaker 1: a six foot tall shadow being with no facial features.
Speaker 1: In approximately two thousand and eight, I had something happened
Speaker 1: to me that I'm really struggling to explain. This experience
Speaker 1: happened and when I was fifteen years old at the time,
Speaker 1: living with my dad his girlfriend who had five kids
Speaker 1: each between two and ten. There were three girls and
Speaker 1: two boys. None of these were my dad's kids, but
Speaker 1: he took care of them and if they were his own,
Speaker 1: So we had eight of us living in a three
Speaker 1: bed house. My dad and his girlfriend had a bedroom
Speaker 1: on the first floor. The three girl shared a room,
Speaker 1: and the two boys shared a room, all on the
Speaker 1: first floor. I was given a room on the ground
Speaker 1: floor that was right next to the dining room in
Speaker 1: the kitchen. The doors to my bedroom had glass windows
Speaker 1: in them, and this is important for later on with
Speaker 1: the encounter. Also, I want to mention that the stairs
Speaker 1: leading to the first floor were in the living room.
Speaker 1: I can see the bottom of the stairs from my
Speaker 1: bedroom looking through the windows, and the bedroom doors on
Speaker 1: the cross to the dining room. One week they decided
Speaker 1: they wanted to go camping on a weekend, but I
Speaker 1: didn't want to go. I'd made plans to meet up
Speaker 1: with some friends that weekend. Now, as a teenage lad,
Speaker 1: hanging around with your friends seemed pure and spending time
Speaker 1: with family. Anyway, that Friday night they left and I
Speaker 1: went out with my friends for a while. We won't
Speaker 1: go out the old laugh went home. I didn't have
Speaker 1: a drink or anything like that. I was completely sober.
Speaker 1: I got home later that night. I was on my own.
Speaker 1: I was so tired. I went straight to my room,
Speaker 1: got in bed. I was lying there and the house
Speaker 1: was empty except for me. It was strange to have
Speaker 1: this much silence in what is normally a very busy,
Speaker 1: noisy house. As I was settling down in bed, I
Speaker 1: started to hear footsteps walking across the landing. You could
Speaker 1: hear one foot after the next boom bum bum. It
Speaker 1: soundly like they'd come from the bathroom all the way
Speaker 1: across the landing and then stopped at the top of
Speaker 1: the stairs. I didn't know what to do. My eyes
Speaker 1: were wide and looking directly at the bottom of the stairs.
Speaker 1: My first thought was to shout a lot. I couldn't
Speaker 1: do it. It felt like something in the back of my
Speaker 1: mind was telling me not to move, not to make
Speaker 1: a sound. Survival instinct maybe, or just fear of the unknown.
Speaker 1: Then the footsteps are back again, but this time they're
Speaker 1: coming down the stairs. You could hear the stairs creaking
Speaker 1: after each and every step, like they, you know, the
Speaker 1: wood if I was walking down them. My heart was
Speaker 1: beating out of my chest. And this was all happening
Speaker 1: within minutes of me getting home. I thought this burglar
Speaker 1: had come, you know, had heard me come into the
Speaker 1: house and was looking for me. The footsteps kept going,
Speaker 1: the stairs were creeping. I could hear that this person
Speaker 1: was close to the bottom of the stairs. Now I
Speaker 1: was alone, frozen for fear. I thought, there's nothing I
Speaker 1: could do against a fully grown man, and what if
Speaker 1: he's got a weapon?
Speaker 2: What can I do?
Speaker 1: I heard the final three steps as this person got
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the stairs. My eyes would glued
Speaker 1: to that area, and then I saw it. This was
Speaker 1: no person standing. It may be a little under six
Speaker 1: feek tall. Was this shadow figure in the shape of
Speaker 1: a man, but it had no facial features and it
Speaker 1: just stood a dark silhouette. It was even a little
Speaker 1: bit translucent, and it just had this eerie feel to it.
Speaker 1: It stood there for what felt like forever and seemed
Speaker 1: to just be looking at the wall in front of it.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 1: She just stood still. I started to question myself, asking
Speaker 1: herself if I'm seeing things. Its head moves and looks
Speaker 1: towards the front door of the house. This was a
Speaker 1: slow movement with a quick look to the side, and
Speaker 1: then it started to move its head back around and
Speaker 1: looked towards my direction. You know, as soon as it
Speaker 1: did this, I just threw the blanket over my head,
Speaker 1: hiding under my covers. I did not know what to do.
Speaker 1: Do I climb out the window and run of nowhere
Speaker 1: to go. I just stayed as still as possible, and
Speaker 1: I listened out for any movement at all. And then
Speaker 1: I heard its footsteps again, but it was not coming
Speaker 1: towards me. It was going back up the stairs. I
Speaker 1: felt a bit of relief when I heard it get
Speaker 1: to the top of the stairs. It then started walking
Speaker 1: along the landing, and the footsteps stopped when it got
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, I said, hidden under my blanket, thinking
Speaker 1: about what to do. If I leave the house, Where
Speaker 1: do I go? My family are camping miles away. If
Speaker 1: I phoned my friends and told them about this, they'd
Speaker 1: just laugh at me and say that I was crazy.
Speaker 1: Not knowing what to do, I just stayed there, lying
Speaker 1: await for hours, when I must have finally fell asleep.
Speaker 1: I woke up the next morning still an edge. I
Speaker 1: could not get the image of this thing out of
Speaker 1: my head. What was it? I've never seen anything like it.
Speaker 1: Before I got ready, I went straight out of the house.
Speaker 1: That night, I stayed over at a friend's house. I
Speaker 1: did not mention what had happened to any of my friends,
Speaker 1: and I didn't want them to think that I was crazy.
Speaker 1: I went home on the Sunday, knowing everyone we'll be
Speaker 1: back at the house. I walked into a busy household,
Speaker 1: the kids playing, running right, having a laugh. My dad
Speaker 1: was upstairs. I shouted alone and walked toward the kitchen
Speaker 1: to get a drink. His girlfriend was in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: and she said alone. And she said how surprised she
Speaker 1: was that her house was still tighter, and made a
Speaker 1: joke that at my age, if she had a free house,
Speaker 1: she would have had a party. I was still shaken
Speaker 1: from the experience. I didn't really laugh, and I think
Speaker 1: she could tell I wasn't myself. She asked me what
Speaker 1: was up, and I explained.
Speaker 2: It all to her.
Speaker 1: I thought she'd laugh, but her response was yet this
Speaker 1: ARTI's aunted. I was shocked. I didn't know what to say.
Speaker 1: She then went on to tell me her experiences in
Speaker 1: the house. This response was comforting and it made me
Speaker 1: feel like I'm not crazy.
Speaker 2: You know, we're alone.
Speaker 1: Later he told my dad about what had happened, and
Speaker 1: she said that he'd seen the figure before, and he'd
Speaker 1: seen it moving from one side of the kitchen to
Speaker 1: the other. After the encounter, I never wanted to stay
Speaker 1: in that house again, but after hearing more stories from
Speaker 1: both of them, I felt more comfortable with being there.
Speaker 1: One big thing was that this thing, it never hurt anybody,
Speaker 1: you know. Having this sort of experience kind of normalized
Speaker 1: it helped massively with it moving forward. It must have
Speaker 1: done it must have been really good when you come
Speaker 1: forward and say, you know, you share something and people say, well, actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand, I've seen it too. You know, we hear
Speaker 1: it week after we don't in the podcast where people
Speaker 1: get in touch exactly like tonight because they've heard something
Speaker 1: I put out there and they've gone, actually, that kind
Speaker 1: of sounds like the incident that happened to me, or
Speaker 1: you know, that incident that happened to more More Uncle Harry,
Speaker 1: or what you know, normally a family story or a friend.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether you're at home, you know, you're
Speaker 1: out enjoying yourself, or you're driving the car. As I
Speaker 1: said earlier, people doing the most ordinary of things have
Speaker 1: the most extra ordinary experiences. And it was those very
Speaker 1: happenings that took place in our next case tonight. Now
Speaker 1: a strange dark figure was seen running on the e
Speaker 1: F eight road at Leeds. And when we think of
Speaker 1: Yorkshire countryside, several of Tonight's cases have taken place.
Speaker 2: It couldn't use up.
Speaker 1: Images of luscious green rolling hills, you know, the orchard wolds,
Speaker 1: thick woodlands, and of course they're desolate Moreland. It's a
Speaker 1: place of abject and butter and hundreds of tourists from
Speaker 1: all across the globe visit Yorkshire every year. I wonder
Speaker 1: how our visitor feel they realized just how many dog men,
Speaker 1: or werewolves or paranormal experiences have been reported by members
Speaker 1: of the public in Yorkshire over the years. Yorchire's history
Speaker 1: is a long and tales of the supernatural stretched back
Speaker 1: through the centuries to a time when Yorkshire had far
Speaker 1: less of a human population. But don't like that failure.
Speaker 1: So many of these reports happen in modern times, in
Speaker 1: modern towns filled with the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Speaker 1: People out walking the dogs, are driving the roads, just
Speaker 1: going about their everyday business when they are suddenly confronted
Speaker 1: by the unknown. I was contacted recently by a witness
Speaker 1: and we are calling Adeline for the purposes of anonymity.
Speaker 1: And Adeline said, I'm a female in my mid fifties
Speaker 1: living in Leeds. I've had a lifetime interesting mists of
Speaker 1: my area, particularly West Yorkshire and Northern England more widely.
Speaker 1: Most recently, I've listened to some programs from Paul sy Claire,
Speaker 1: JOHICKI Hall and that led me to you, Deborah. I
Speaker 1: was a listener to dog Men Encounters Radio, and it's
Speaker 1: through that channel that I found yours polls and Joe's content.
Speaker 1: I've had two incidents I feel a ways reporting here,
Speaker 1: but also much that I have always assumed to be
Speaker 1: the product of, say a hypnotic trance or you know,
Speaker 1: some similar sleep type experience, or just a product of
Speaker 1: being in certain areas which generate a particulars I called
Speaker 1: the logical reaction due to them inherently being a bit dangerous.
Speaker 1: The things I report are oddly the most mundane in
Speaker 1: that I wasn't afraid at all, and everything about the
Speaker 1: real world felt absolutely ordinary. Anyway, here's my report about
Speaker 1: an incident that happened in the last week of October
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, when I was driving along White Tall
Speaker 1: Road in Leeds, between Dixon Lane and the railway bridge
Speaker 1: at Dragon Drive. I don't know what it was that
Speaker 1: I encountered, so I don't know how to describe it.
Speaker 1: It happened quite quickly, around eight seconds in all. I
Speaker 1: could see it clearly, as it was around mid afternoon.
Speaker 1: I was driving along the road I travel every day.
Speaker 1: There is nothing special rout the ordinary about it. Whitehall
Speaker 1: Road only A five eight is in Leeds. It's about
Speaker 1: a mile mile and a half out of the city center.
Speaker 1: It was around three twenty five to broad daylight. As
Speaker 1: alone in the car, and at the time in question,
Speaker 1: there was no oncoming traffic and nobody driving close behind me.
Speaker 1: I just passed the Dixon Lane junction and was heading along.
Speaker 1: There's one hundred meter stretch to where the road takes
Speaker 1: a ninety degree turn to the right and it crosses
Speaker 1: the railway line. The railway is cutting to the right
Speaker 1: of me at that point, separated from the road by
Speaker 1: a stone wall about four feet high. There's no pavement
Speaker 1: to speak of, and to the left there's a steep
Speaker 1: bank with a line of sandwich detached housing on it,
Speaker 1: each with a steep garden that opens onto the pavement.
Speaker 1: These houses are parking at the roadside in the lay by,
Speaker 1: and this layby was fully parked up. There was just
Speaker 1: one pedestrian, but I didn't see him until I looked
Speaker 1: into my rear BUW mirror to see if anyone else
Speaker 1: could have seen it. The whole sighting took maybe six
Speaker 1: to eight seconds. It's gone about twenty five mile an hour.
Speaker 1: When I saw the figure of a young man running
Speaker 1: downhill on Dragon Drive about sixty meters away from me.
Speaker 1: He was coming from let to right, going really really fast.
Speaker 1: I could see his legs moving very clearly. He was
Speaker 1: wearing a black tracksuit with a hooder. No doubt in
Speaker 1: my mind this was a person. My reaction was more wow,
Speaker 1: look at him go. I moved my gaze to look
Speaker 1: directly at him because it was an impressive speed. We
Speaker 1: have a few people you know around area was about
Speaker 1: on electric bikes of various kinds, noell mixed strubgies and
Speaker 1: balaclavas up to something you know, no good, who knows what,
Speaker 1: and this lad looked like one of them, minus the
Speaker 1: electric bike or scooter. I assumed he was going to
Speaker 1: dash across in front of me, and he was coming
Speaker 1: towards me as well as moving left a right. I
Speaker 1: thought he'd go down the side of the railway bridge
Speaker 1: that I was approaching. And what happened next takes a
Speaker 1: very long time to type, but it was only a
Speaker 1: second or two in reality. But then I remembered there's
Speaker 1: no path on the right side of the road, so
Speaker 1: it seemed weird. If you were running to do that,
Speaker 1: you'd stay back on the left and there is a
Speaker 1: path there, otherwise you're just going to get run over.
Speaker 1: The bridge is a she cane with no space. And
Speaker 1: then I realized that I've been wrong. He wasn't headed
Speaker 1: to the road at all, but even closer to me,
Speaker 1: towards the wall on my right. But that made no
Speaker 1: sense either, because there's nothing there but that wall and
Speaker 1: then the railway cup. You're super steep drop. You know,
Speaker 1: there's no way anyone would run there. As I appeared
Speaker 1: at him trying to see better, you know, he was
Speaker 1: now in the middle of the road, clear of all
Speaker 1: the cars on the left, and it was like I
Speaker 1: could see the legs fine, but the upper taso was
Speaker 1: just fading out like a shadow cast on the air.
Speaker 1: There was hardly any arms, and just a suggestion of
Speaker 1: the movie and then honestly not really any kind of head.
Speaker 1: I felt no fear of anything like that.
Speaker 2: I was just focused and.
Speaker 1: Looking at him, trying to understand what it was that
Speaker 1: I was looking at. I'm now about twenty meters away.
Speaker 1: As I stired, not sure I was really seeing anything right,
Speaker 1: this figure deformed more so. There was just this bipedal
Speaker 1: running movement in the lower part and the rest was
Speaker 1: much more like a same shapeless shadow than a kind
Speaker 1: of too deep kind of geometric edge, like a lot
Speaker 1: of hexagons fading out into nothing. My brain was at
Speaker 1: the point going got to be a plastic bag, because
Speaker 1: a very stretched, thin film maybe of a bin line
Speaker 1: or was about all it could have been compared to
Speaker 1: anything I've seen. I was still expecting him it to
Speaker 1: have to jump or hurdle the wall closer about ten
Speaker 1: meters from him, but it just went right through the wall,
Speaker 1: as if the wall wasn't there. In it either dropped
Speaker 1: or just vanished at that point, I mean a bag
Speaker 1: would have got caught on the wall. I'd say a
Speaker 1: third of it it was above the wall heigh and
Speaker 1: the rest was below. The well was probably only four
Speaker 1: foot high. I was now beyond it just before the turn.
Speaker 1: I looked at the part of the left in my
Speaker 1: raview mirror because I wondered if anyone else was around
Speaker 1: who could have seen it. There was a man with
Speaker 1: white hair walking along. We didn't seem in any way
Speaker 1: like he'd seen anything. You know, it would have to
Speaker 1: have crossed in front of him. I think then I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: did I really see that could it have just been
Speaker 1: some kind of black plastic bag. But it had moved
Speaker 1: very straight, very fast, a constant speed and direction. The
Speaker 1: wind was really up, you know, to that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: even with the leaves that were about, and the bag
Speaker 1: would have looked different, you know, because bags are three
Speaker 1: dimensional and they constantly deformed as they move. This was
Speaker 1: when I really looked at it less steps angil. Then
Speaker 1: you could see light through it. It was like a
Speaker 1: dark watermark. I never thought about the dashcom footage until
Speaker 1: I stopped the car, but then it erases it because
Speaker 1: I didn't press safe. Of course, I've never seen anything
Speaker 1: like that before. Nothing else was in any way out
Speaker 1: of the ordinary that day, something of no is the
Speaker 1: This Christmas. I saw my cousin, and since he lives
Speaker 1: on a street right there where I saw the running figure,
Speaker 1: I mentioned it to him and we got talking about
Speaker 1: ghosts and the paranormal. He's had several of his own experiences,
Speaker 1: but not like mine. He's seen ghosts, you know. His
Speaker 1: remark on them was how ordinary they were, except that
Speaker 1: they couldn't possibly be there, you know, if they've been real.
Speaker 1: He wrote to me a few weeks later to say
Speaker 1: remembered an incident from the nineteen seventies when he'd lived
Speaker 1: with his parents one hundred meters from where I'd had
Speaker 1: this sighted. He said, a friend of his dad's had
Speaker 1: come around in a city one day after nim you know,
Speaker 1: because he'd been gardening in his front yard and he'd
Speaker 1: seen a man in a dark blue track suit go
Speaker 1: running past the end of the drive down a hill,
Speaker 1: which would be about forty eaters from exactly where I
Speaker 1: saw mine. This man had been going unusually fast, and
Speaker 1: at that time jogging was a very new thing, you know,
Speaker 1: people didn't do it that much. And also he was
Speaker 1: wearing a tracksuit, he mentioned, and it was an unusual
Speaker 1: dark blue color, had something strange about it that was
Speaker 1: not at all fashionable, not something anyone would be seen wearing.
Speaker 1: He'd walked around the hedge to the corner to take
Speaker 1: a better look at this man, and there was nobody
Speaker 1: there and nowhere that he could have gone. He bothered
Speaker 1: him so much he searched all the gardens up and down,
Speaker 1: looking in case it was a bit, you know, a
Speaker 1: proud or you never found anything. We had a sharp
Speaker 1: correspondent about it, and my cousin told me that the
Speaker 1: point where I saw the shadow drop into the court
Speaker 1: is just before the old station hall that used to
Speaker 1: be there on which is now a reclamation yard. He
Speaker 1: wondered if it was someone running for a train. If not,
Speaker 1: he thought maybe it was something, you know, something in
Speaker 1: kind of a time anomaly.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: For me, it was human to start with, not even odd,
Speaker 1: but by the end it was so odd it defied
Speaker 1: any rational explanation. It's hard to put it into words even.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I've heard the description of this running figure before, you know,
Speaker 1: from several areas in the UK. On one that sounds
Speaker 1: incredibly similar was reported that the infamous Stocksbridge Bypass. I've
Speaker 1: shared encounters at the bypassing earlier podcast, but there is
Speaker 1: a case from there that also features a strange running
Speaker 1: figure impossible to describe, seen by a female driver. Judy
Speaker 1: and David Simpson bravely took part in a BBC series
Speaker 1: on the Paranormal in nineteen ninety four, where they shared
Speaker 1: their experience driving on the road to warp Yorkshire. Judy
Speaker 1: drove along the B six zero A eight near the bypass,
Speaker 1: and her husband David was in the passenger seat. Judy
Speaker 1: reported that while she was passing the bypass bridge, she
Speaker 1: saw a figure hopping or jogging in a field at
Speaker 1: the end of the road. Judy couldn't give a very
Speaker 1: clear description, as she saw no conto. There was no face,
Speaker 1: no head, no details to be made out, and there
Speaker 1: were no identifying features. There was nothing like clothing or
Speaker 1: a hat. There was something to the shape that looked
Speaker 1: like it possibly had shoulders and ma the arms and legs,
Speaker 1: and it seemed agitated in its movements, and it was
Speaker 1: kind of moving in a disstarted way, and it ran
Speaker 1: aimlessly through the field as Judy thought it was a jogger.
Speaker 1: She didn't really think much of it, and so she
Speaker 1: realized its feet not touching the floor as it ran,
Speaker 1: but it was floating approximately a meter above the ground.
Speaker 1: And then the figure leapt from the field, going up
Speaker 1: the road and landed in the middle of the road
Speaker 1: in front of the car. Whatever this figure was, it
Speaker 1: should have been hit by that car. Judy hit the
Speaker 1: brakes and stopped the car instantly, but there was no
Speaker 1: sensation of shock, as if this thing had been immaterial
Speaker 1: or it had just disappeared. There was no bang as
Speaker 1: they collided, no bump as she hit him, he simply
Speaker 1: vanished from sight in front of Judy's eyes. The husband
Speaker 1: also saw it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Although shaken and shot, they got out of the car
Speaker 1: to try and find this poor man, But as he
Speaker 1: looked all around them, he found no trace of him
Speaker 1: or anything that they could have mistaken him for. Quite simpler,
Speaker 1: a humanish shaped figure would run at speed at their car,
Speaker 1: and as they collided, it just vanished into the She
Speaker 1: can imagine. The couple were very upset, unable to believe
Speaker 1: what had occurred, and starting to admit to themselves that
Speaker 1: what they saw was possibly a ghost or some paranormal
Speaker 1: being in origin. They drove down to the Watleypop to
Speaker 1: calm down with a drink, and they shaared their story
Speaker 1: at the bar would ridiculed him. The locals themselves quite
Speaker 1: aware of the reputation of the place. I wanted to
Speaker 1: check my case files to see if I had any
Speaker 1: other report of a kind of dark running figure seen
Speaker 1: on the UK road. I wasn't disappointed. A gentleman named
Speaker 1: Lamar had a weird experience when he was driving down
Speaker 1: the A one two three seven late at night, and
Speaker 1: he said I'd been to see a friend. It clifted
Speaker 1: him more. I was heading back towards the A six four.
Speaker 1: Although I was concentrated on driving the car, I was
Speaker 1: also listening to my music and pretty much gone into
Speaker 1: auto pilot, as there were no other cars around and
Speaker 1: only the occasional roundabounts to negotiate. Suddenly, I became aware
Speaker 1: of movement on the curb side if you meet us
Speaker 1: ahead of me, and before I realized what was going on,
Speaker 1: I was certain that a human figure had moved out
Speaker 1: in front of the car. I hit the brakes but
Speaker 1: was still traveling almost sixty mile an hour when I
Speaker 1: should have heard the dreaded and there was nothing. I
Speaker 1: didn't stop, though I'd slowed to almost thirty miles an hour.
Speaker 1: After breaking I could see only the open road in
Speaker 1: my rearview mirror and heard only eerie silence. I sped
Speaker 1: back up to speak quickly, wanting nothing more than to
Speaker 1: get away from that place as faster than I could.
Speaker 1: Molly Jones said, I had a weird experience many years
Speaker 1: ago in the UK, and I was on a quiet
Speaker 1: road in the countryside. I was in the passenger seat
Speaker 1: of the car when I saw an old man walk
Speaker 1: out from the side of the road for am area
Speaker 1: that was just trees, and he walked straight out in
Speaker 1: front of us, and I screamed as we hit him,
Speaker 1: but no one else saw him, and there was no
Speaker 1: impact as we hit him. But we stopped the car
Speaker 1: as I was convinced we must have slammed into this mouth.
Speaker 1: And there was nobody there at all. We were the
Speaker 1: only car on the road. There were no street lights,
Speaker 1: although I saw him clearly through the headlights. It scared
Speaker 1: the living daylight that me and to this day he
Speaker 1: still can't believe it happened, but it did. On the
Speaker 1: thirteenth of December twenty twenty, a witness made a report
Speaker 1: of a tall, thin, black figure around six fifty five
Speaker 1: in the morning. A driver using the B six eight
Speaker 1: four road. This time so a tall, thin, black human
Speaker 1: light figure that stepped out into the road ahead of
Speaker 1: the driver. The figure stood out clearly to him. It
Speaker 1: was illuminated by his headlights and they were.
Speaker 2: On four beam.
Speaker 1: The figure moved backwards and vanished into the hedge. As
Speaker 1: the driver passed the spot, no one could be seen.
Speaker 1: Our next case takes part on the by pass, not
Speaker 1: the stocksbridge. This was in Europe and it took place
Speaker 1: on the fourteenth February twenty twelve, and a family were
Speaker 1: actually returning home from being out that night. There was
Speaker 1: a man and a lady in the sun and the
Speaker 1: gentleman's name was Scott Martin. Him and his family were
Speaker 1: traveling home by taxi from Stoneleigh about ten thirty pm
Speaker 1: on Valentine's the evening when they saw a mysterious dark
Speaker 1: figure with no features, dark across the road in front
Speaker 1: of them before leaping a fifteen foot roadside bank around
Speaker 1: the area of Nescott College on the your Bypass. They
Speaker 1: were really spooped out by what they'd seen, and the
Speaker 1: four year old son was too scared to sleep in
Speaker 1: his own room that night, and the taxi driver was
Speaker 1: none too pleased about him to drive back on his own.
Speaker 1: Mister Martin said, we were driving down the yr Bypass
Speaker 1: and we saw a man on the other side of
Speaker 1: the road. We didn't pay much attention until he started
Speaker 1: crossing over to our side of the road. The next thing,
Speaker 1: he jumps over the center fencing in the road and
Speaker 1: ran across our two lanes. On our side of the
Speaker 1: road is a bank easily fifteen feet in height, and
Speaker 1: this figure crossed our road, climbed that bank and was
Speaker 1: gone from sight in about two seconds. All four of
Speaker 1: us were baffled and voiced our sighting straight away, you know,
Speaker 1: with the same detail. We all saw a dart figure
Speaker 1: with no real features that moved very fast, with an
Speaker 1: ease of hurdling obstacles that I have never seen. My
Speaker 1: last image of it was running through the bushes at
Speaker 1: the top of the banks. Mister Martin said. The driver
Speaker 1: and the tax really shared his face as a mysterious
Speaker 1: figure made off with ease. Now, he said, I'm not
Speaker 1: usually wanting to be freaked by these sightings, but even
Speaker 1: the cab driver was petrified.
Speaker 2: He didn't want to drive back alone.
Speaker 1: I'm honestly baffled by this sighting and we're intrigued by
Speaker 1: it because it was so real but so strange. His wife,
Speaker 1: Sasha said, it was more unusual in the fact that
Speaker 1: someone was trying to cross the dual carriage away in
Speaker 1: the dark, and you know that it really freaked it out.
Speaker 1: The family likened the figure to the legendary spring Heeled Jack.
Speaker 1: I think that was first reporting about the eighteen thirties
Speaker 1: and the ones with area of London, and that was
Speaker 1: a dark figure that was leaping out at people, kind
Speaker 1: of in the EPSOM in newle area, So it does
Speaker 1: kind of fit in with that. I'm quite a sensible man,
Speaker 1: but I've never seen anything move that quickly across the
Speaker 1: road and not being startled by the facts that we
Speaker 1: would driving towards him. It's the first time we have
Speaker 1: ever seen.
Speaker 2: Anything like this.
Speaker 1: You know, if it was a burglar or something like that,
Speaker 1: you'd know this was too fast, you know the way
Speaker 1: then it ran. The actually it to the police and
Speaker 1: to the college, but they hadn't received any other reports
Speaker 1: from any other people. Just strange, isn't it the way
Speaker 1: certain things crop up all of the time. These are
Speaker 1: in different counties. They're not the mules, not in York,
Speaker 1: so it's much further south. It's a very very strange
Speaker 1: island that we live on. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: The figures had beens in these cases, it seems to
Speaker 1: interfere with the humans in any way. It was almost
Speaker 1: as if they were going about their normal activity. And
Speaker 1: I put it like that while the human was also
Speaker 1: going about their normal activity. I don't really know what
Speaker 1: words to use in this kind of sense. I think
Speaker 1: what I mean is I don't think the witness themselves
Speaker 1: were supposed to see what they did. I think it
Speaker 1: was something going about what it would normally do. And
Speaker 1: these people have tuned in at that moment. Aren't that
Speaker 1: spot almost like a catalyst?
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: As if they've driven into that energy and they've seen
Speaker 1: this repeat maybe what do we used to call it?
Speaker 1: The stone tape theory or whatever you gave me, say
Speaker 1: it often that land holds energy and it's almost as
Speaker 1: if that's what's playing out here over and over again.
Speaker 1: Another thing that I noticed was the lack of features,
Speaker 1: so an almost human like body. Now does that mean
Speaker 1: that thermorphous shape that they are seeing resembles the human
Speaker 1: in some way? Or is it our use us putting
Speaker 1: that human onto it and that it is an amorphous blot?
Speaker 1: But we try and make out what that thing is.
Speaker 1: Our brain is trained to make that into the figure
Speaker 1: of a person. So we could be seeing an energy
Speaker 1: farm of something something connected to the earth doing what
Speaker 1: it does. As each person coming into contact with it,
Speaker 1: they all seem to be on kind of also pilot
Speaker 1: as well, you know, very relaxed. You've heard me share
Speaker 1: the experiences of dead Singleton in Yorkshire as well, and
Speaker 1: her creature stepped from the side of the road and
Speaker 1: she was driving, and most of others experiences have taken
Speaker 1: place while she's been in that state of automatum driving,
Speaker 1: you know, doing something that you do on a daily
Speaker 1: basis where you kind of tune out one side of
Speaker 1: your brain. And I think that's when we tune into
Speaker 1: things that are out there and we connect with them
Speaker 1: like that. What you may feel different when you might
Speaker 1: have your own theories on that, and I would love
Speaker 1: to hear them in the comments. So, whether you are
Speaker 1: a new listener or old, I hope you've enjoyed the
Speaker 1: tales that I've shared with you tonight. I have many,
Speaker 1: many more of them. I have two reports coming this week,
Speaker 1: separate gentlemen who both saw something when they were younger
Speaker 1: and straining and know we're bringing those to you shortly.
Speaker 1: I've also a chatter got in touch with me who's
Speaker 1: had a kind of shadowing experience. It can it chase
Speaker 1: around the castle in area along.
Speaker 2: With them out.
Speaker 1: I think about five or six interviews that I've still
Speaker 1: got to put together so I can share them with you.
Speaker 2: So stick around.
Speaker 1: Some interesting stuff going to come up for you and
Speaker 1: the new documentaries out soon, and when that happens, I
Speaker 1: will add a link to several of the YouTube videos
Speaker 1: that you guys can check that out.
Speaker 2: It isn't anything to do with me.
Speaker 1: It was done by Lis, a lady that I know,
Speaker 1: crypto zoologist, and I just took part and did an
Speaker 1: interview in it.
Speaker 2: But I think you'll enjoy it.
Speaker 1: So until then, let's say I shall see you the
Speaker 1: same time the same day next week.
Speaker 2: Good Night everyone,
