WEBVTT 1 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.600 Hello everybody, and welcome back. Thank you very much for 2 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.640 joining me. My name is Jabrahtswell, and you're listening to 3 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.640 BBR Investigations. Tonight, I'll be sharing a number of listeners 4 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.039 experiences that have come into BBR since twenty twenty. Each 5 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.799 report is written by the witness themselves and simply transcribed 6 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.159 the words I did some of my thoughts on their cases, 7 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.560 and I'll share some cases that are also startling similar. 8 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.039 Let's start with the case from Sleaford in Yorkshire, a 9 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.439 county here in the UK known for its cryptid and 10 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.159 paranormal encounters. It has a rich history running back centuries 11 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.959 in time, and even in modern times, amongst the hustle 12 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.159 and bustle of busy areas, people still experienced the most 13 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.560 extraordinary of things. The lady who shared this experience with 14 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.400 me wishes to remain anonymous, so I will refer to 15 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.920 her as d D. Lives in the Sleaford area. This 16 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.719 took place in twenty twelve, and she said, Hi, Diabeth, 17 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.079 I've been listening to your YouTube videos. I'm wondering whether 18 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.280 you'd be interested in hearing of my experience. It was 19 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.079 sometime in twenty twenty when my home in Sleaford with 20 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.280 my youngest starter after visiting my other daughter and her husband, 21 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.760 and they live in Grimsbeth. We've been gone a few 22 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.400 days and my son, who was twenty at the time, 23 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.239 was looking after the house and had three cats. When 24 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.680 I got to the door that night, I noticed that 25 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.640 it wasn't locked, and all the lights in the house 26 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.560 had been left on. I went aside and looked upstairs 27 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.120 to see if my son was there, and I was 28 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.039 going to ask him why all the lights had been 29 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.080 left on. I looked up there, and as I looked 30 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.719 at the stairs, there was a dark figure in the 31 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.599 bathroom at the top of the stairs. I called my 32 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:28.000 son's name. Something was odd. I knew that it wasn't him. 33 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.960 I didn't take my eyes off this black figure. They 34 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.280 had no features, it was just pure black, and I 35 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.879 started walking upstairs towards it. I felt angry that it 36 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.960 was in my house. I wasn't scared at all. As 37 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.840 I walked up the stairs, it moved across the bathroom. 38 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.080 He sort of glided slowly from one end to the 39 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.000 other end. I kept my eyes on it, but I 40 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.719 was nearly at the top of the stairs. The banister 41 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.120 blocked my view, so when I got to the top 42 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.000 it had completely gone. I checked the bedrooms and my 43 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.719 three caps were clearly terrified. They were scrambling to get 44 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.680 under the bed. On one of them jumped right across 45 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.840 the bed, absolutely terrified. I've never seen them like that now. 46 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.039 The front and the back door were both unlocked, and 47 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.400 every light in the house was on. My son later 48 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.560 told me he had definitely locked up before going to work, 49 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.199 and there were no lights left on when he left. 50 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.560 My youngest artery was sixteen at the time, went into 51 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.879 a bedroom and saw that her posters that had been 52 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.039 on the wall were on the floor, and everything that 53 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.319 was on a bed had been shoved in a pile 54 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.280 onto the floor. She tried to entice the cats out 55 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.039 from under the bed with trees, but they wouldn't come out. 56 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.199 Was really unlike them. They normally will do anything for 57 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.800 a tree. The following morning, I went to get out 58 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.840 of bed and on the rug beside my bed was 59 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.800 a monkey peach with what looked like a whole pack 60 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.639 of hair clips individually hooked around the string. Both the 61 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.360 monkey charm and the hair clips were previously in my 62 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.120 bed room draw. There would be no way of them 63 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.639 being moved from that drawer without waking me up. It 64 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.360 require a lot of rummaging to get them all together. 65 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.199 One thing I found strange about this is that when 66 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.120 I came in the front door and looked, only then 67 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.800 did the figure start slowly moving. It seemed like it 68 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.240 waited for me to enter the house and look up, 69 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.120 as if it wanted me to see it, even turning 70 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.480 on all the lights of the house. It was years 71 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.639 later I heard about other people seeing this black figure 72 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.560 or what they call the hat man. I've never seen 73 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.000 it before, not since, so I'm baffled as to why 74 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.399 it came that day. I hope my story might be 75 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.279 of interest to others. Cases I've heard are at night, 76 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.639 you know, or during lucy dreaming or something like that. 77 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.120 This was around four in the afternoon, although it was 78 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.639 dark because it was wintertime. I lived in that house 79 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.399 for thirteen years when it happened, and about six months 80 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.519 after the shadow man incident, we moved as we were 81 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:21.839 wanting to live nearer to. 82 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.079 My daughter in rooms, Beth. 83 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.240 What was also what is when we were moving in 84 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.160 that November, everything went perfect, and I mean perfect. There 85 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.040 was so many coincidence and things fitting into place that 86 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.959 it was like something was helping us to move. But 87 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.319 it was all good, and I wonder if all that's connected. 88 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.079 My son said he had a friend over when I 89 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.839 was out, and his friend went to the bathroom and 90 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.519 when he came back downstairs, he looked shuck up. My 91 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.279 son asked what was up, and he said that he'd 92 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.079 looked in the mirror and saw his face, but it 93 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.040 wasn't his space and it wasn't mirroring what he was doing. 94 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.399 Some of his other friends said the street was known 95 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.120 to be haunted, but that was the only incident that 96 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.360 I had to share. That must have been absolutely startling 97 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.959 to come home and witness that come in the house 98 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.480 and there at the top of the stairs, it's a 99 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:30.160 completely black shadow figure with no discernible features. I wonder 100 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.279 if it was connected to the house or to the 101 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.800 land that the house was built on. I shared a 102 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.079 case earlier in the year very similar to this, and 103 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.920 it took place in Trent Country Park where a student 104 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.759 had seen a strange shadow shape being that looked like 105 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.519 a human, and he saw it on two occasions. After 106 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.000 the episode aired, and I was contacted through the BBR 107 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.720 website by a lader who wanted to share her experience 108 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.360 in the same country park, and she said, Hi, I 109 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.319 had a really similar experience to the one the student had, 110 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.120 but mine was a few years before. However, it was 111 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.000 at the opposite end of the day. I went walking 112 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.319 with my friend behind the old mansion where they used 113 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.360 to be the water gardens Phillips has soon had built 114 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.319 for his wife. It was around two thousand and two. 115 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.759 We went off the beaten track. We were trying to 116 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.160 get back to the oakward entrance of the park. We've 117 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.560 been walking for a while. When the sunlight started to fade, 118 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.439 I felt like we were walking in a circle. All 119 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.519 of a sudden, I had a feeling like I shouldn't 120 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.879 be there, and when I looked around at my surroundings, 121 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.800 I noticed a shadowy figure. It was human shaped, but 122 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.720 with no discernible features. I didn't look at it for 123 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.240 too long. I just said to my friend that we 124 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.279 should maybe walk back, as we needed to get home 125 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.199 before it got too dark. I mentioned this to anyone 126 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.959 until my sister and Laura and I were talking about 127 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.759 BBR and she told me about the story that you shared. 128 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.519 I read this account of your experience step and it 129 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.959 made me think that what I saw wasn't just a 130 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:21.079 trick of delight on my imagination like I'd originally thought. 131 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:26.120 Did you notice in both descriptions it said that it 132 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:32.919 was completely black and it didn't have any discernible features. Well, 133 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:38.000 another listener shared with me some horrifying experiences that had 134 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.840 when they were much younger, and I also centered on 135 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.399 a six foot tall shadow being with no facial features. 136 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.879 In approximately two thousand and eight, I had something happened 137 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.000 to me that I'm really struggling to explain. This experience 138 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.679 happened and when I was fifteen years old at the time, 139 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.559 living with my dad his girlfriend who had five kids 140 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.799 each between two and ten. There were three girls and 141 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.879 two boys. None of these were my dad's kids, but 142 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.039 he took care of them and if they were his own, 143 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.080 So we had eight of us living in a three 144 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.440 bed house. My dad and his girlfriend had a bedroom 145 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.240 on the first floor. The three girl shared a room, 146 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.320 and the two boys shared a room, all on the 147 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.360 first floor. I was given a room on the ground 148 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.639 floor that was right next to the dining room in 149 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.559 the kitchen. The doors to my bedroom had glass windows 150 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.200 in them, and this is important for later on with 151 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:40.159 the encounter. Also, I want to mention that the stairs 152 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.000 leading to the first floor were in the living room. 153 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.639 I can see the bottom of the stairs from my 154 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.960 bedroom looking through the windows, and the bedroom doors on 155 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:53.480 the cross to the dining room. One week they decided 156 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.120 they wanted to go camping on a weekend, but I 157 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.480 didn't want to go. I'd made plans to meet up 158 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.240 with some friends that weekend. Now, as a teenage lad, 159 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.279 hanging around with your friends seemed pure and spending time 160 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.480 with family. Anyway, that Friday night they left and I 161 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.320 went out with my friends for a while. We won't 162 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.159 go out the old laugh went home. I didn't have 163 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.840 a drink or anything like that. I was completely sober. 164 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.639 I got home later that night. I was on my own. 165 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.039 I was so tired. I went straight to my room, 166 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.519 got in bed. I was lying there and the house 167 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.720 was empty except for me. It was strange to have 168 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.840 this much silence in what is normally a very busy, 169 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.840 noisy house. As I was settling down in bed, I 170 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.559 started to hear footsteps walking across the landing. You could 171 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:48.240 hear one foot after the next boom bum bum. It 172 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.799 soundly like they'd come from the bathroom all the way 173 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.000 across the landing and then stopped at the top of 174 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:59.200 the stairs. I didn't know what to do. My eyes 175 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:03.519 were wide and looking directly at the bottom of the stairs. 176 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.080 My first thought was to shout a lot. I couldn't 177 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.279 do it. It felt like something in the back of my 178 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.960 mind was telling me not to move, not to make 179 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:20.200 a sound. Survival instinct maybe, or just fear of the unknown. 180 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.639 Then the footsteps are back again, but this time they're 181 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.840 coming down the stairs. You could hear the stairs creaking 182 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.919 after each and every step, like they, you know, the 183 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.320 wood if I was walking down them. My heart was 184 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.600 beating out of my chest. And this was all happening 185 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.600 within minutes of me getting home. I thought this burglar 186 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.919 had come, you know, had heard me come into the 187 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.639 house and was looking for me. The footsteps kept going, 188 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.720 the stairs were creeping. I could hear that this person 189 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.879 was close to the bottom of the stairs. Now I 190 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:02.559 was alone, frozen for fear. I thought, there's nothing I 191 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.039 could do against a fully grown man, and what if 192 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:05.840 he's got a weapon? 193 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:06.879 What can I do? 194 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:12.559 I heard the final three steps as this person got 195 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.000 to the bottom of the stairs. My eyes would glued 196 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:21.039 to that area, and then I saw it. This was 197 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:26.120 no person standing. It may be a little under six 198 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.559 feek tall. Was this shadow figure in the shape of 199 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:35.039 a man, but it had no facial features and it 200 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.799 just stood a dark silhouette. It was even a little 201 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:45.120 bit translucent, and it just had this eerie feel to it. 202 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:49.279 It stood there for what felt like forever and seemed 203 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.320 to just be looking at the wall in front of it. 204 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:53.000 It. 205 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:57.240 She just stood still. I started to question myself, asking 206 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:03.039 herself if I'm seeing things. Its head moves and looks 207 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.279 towards the front door of the house. This was a 208 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.440 slow movement with a quick look to the side, and 209 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.039 then it started to move its head back around and 210 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:17.159 looked towards my direction. You know, as soon as it 211 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.919 did this, I just threw the blanket over my head, 212 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.799 hiding under my covers. I did not know what to do. 213 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.399 Do I climb out the window and run of nowhere 214 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.799 to go. I just stayed as still as possible, and 215 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:36.720 I listened out for any movement at all. And then 216 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.120 I heard its footsteps again, but it was not coming 217 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.159 towards me. It was going back up the stairs. I 218 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.559 felt a bit of relief when I heard it get 219 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.000 to the top of the stairs. It then started walking 220 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.039 along the landing, and the footsteps stopped when it got 221 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:59.080 to the bathroom, I said, hidden under my blanket, thinking 222 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.840 about what to do. If I leave the house, Where 223 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.879 do I go? My family are camping miles away. If 224 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.080 I phoned my friends and told them about this, they'd 225 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.200 just laugh at me and say that I was crazy. 226 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.960 Not knowing what to do, I just stayed there, lying 227 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.159 await for hours, when I must have finally fell asleep. 228 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.679 I woke up the next morning still an edge. I 229 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.360 could not get the image of this thing out of 230 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:32.480 my head. What was it? I've never seen anything like it. 231 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.960 Before I got ready, I went straight out of the house. 232 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.159 That night, I stayed over at a friend's house. I 233 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.919 did not mention what had happened to any of my friends, 234 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.960 and I didn't want them to think that I was crazy. 235 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.399 I went home on the Sunday, knowing everyone we'll be 236 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.559 back at the house. I walked into a busy household, 237 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.080 the kids playing, running right, having a laugh. My dad 238 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.759 was upstairs. I shouted alone and walked toward the kitchen 239 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.960 to get a drink. His girlfriend was in the kitchen, 240 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.080 and she said alone. And she said how surprised she 241 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.120 was that her house was still tighter, and made a 242 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.399 joke that at my age, if she had a free house, 243 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.320 she would have had a party. I was still shaken 244 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.399 from the experience. I didn't really laugh, and I think 245 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.559 she could tell I wasn't myself. She asked me what 246 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.679 was up, and I explained. 247 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:24.840 It all to her. 248 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.559 I thought she'd laugh, but her response was yet this 249 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:33.440 ARTI's aunted. I was shocked. I didn't know what to say. 250 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.159 She then went on to tell me her experiences in 251 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.639 the house. This response was comforting and it made me 252 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.799 feel like I'm not crazy. 253 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:45.960 You know, we're alone. 254 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.159 Later he told my dad about what had happened, and 255 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.360 she said that he'd seen the figure before, and he'd 256 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.679 seen it moving from one side of the kitchen to 257 00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:00.000 the other. After the encounter, I never wanted to stay 258 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.840 in that house again, but after hearing more stories from 259 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.039 both of them, I felt more comfortable with being there. 260 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.000 One big thing was that this thing, it never hurt anybody, 261 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.600 you know. Having this sort of experience kind of normalized 262 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.759 it helped massively with it moving forward. It must have 263 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.919 done it must have been really good when you come 264 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.840 forward and say, you know, you share something and people say, well, actually, yeah, 265 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.759 I understand, I've seen it too. You know, we hear 266 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.440 it week after we don't in the podcast where people 267 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.840 get in touch exactly like tonight because they've heard something 268 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.279 I put out there and they've gone, actually, that kind 269 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.960 of sounds like the incident that happened to me, or 270 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.360 you know, that incident that happened to more More Uncle Harry, 271 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.759 or what you know, normally a family story or a friend. 272 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.159 It doesn't matter whether you're at home, you know, you're 273 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:54.000 out enjoying yourself, or you're driving the car. As I 274 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.360 said earlier, people doing the most ordinary of things have 275 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:04.640 the most extra ordinary experiences. And it was those very 276 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:10.039 happenings that took place in our next case tonight. Now 277 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.240 a strange dark figure was seen running on the e 278 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.880 F eight road at Leeds. And when we think of 279 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.880 Yorkshire countryside, several of Tonight's cases have taken place. 280 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.680 It couldn't use up. 281 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:28.599 Images of luscious green rolling hills, you know, the orchard wolds, 282 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.599 thick woodlands, and of course they're desolate Moreland. It's a 283 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.039 place of abject and butter and hundreds of tourists from 284 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.960 all across the globe visit Yorkshire every year. I wonder 285 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:46.799 how our visitor feel they realized just how many dog men, 286 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:53.720 or werewolves or paranormal experiences have been reported by members 287 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:58.759 of the public in Yorkshire over the years. Yorchire's history 288 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:02.480 is a long and tales of the supernatural stretched back 289 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.200 through the centuries to a time when Yorkshire had far 290 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.720 less of a human population. But don't like that failure. 291 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.640 So many of these reports happen in modern times, in 292 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.640 modern towns filled with the hustle and bustle of daily life. 293 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.720 People out walking the dogs, are driving the roads, just 294 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:29.319 going about their everyday business when they are suddenly confronted 295 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.839 by the unknown. I was contacted recently by a witness 296 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.480 and we are calling Adeline for the purposes of anonymity. 297 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:43.119 And Adeline said, I'm a female in my mid fifties 298 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:47.519 living in Leeds. I've had a lifetime interesting mists of 299 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:52.640 my area, particularly West Yorkshire and Northern England more widely. 300 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.680 Most recently, I've listened to some programs from Paul sy Claire, 301 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.480 JOHICKI Hall and that led me to you, Deborah. I 302 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:06.039 was a listener to dog Men Encounters Radio, and it's 303 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.960 through that channel that I found yours polls and Joe's content. 304 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.559 I've had two incidents I feel a ways reporting here, 305 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.200 but also much that I have always assumed to be 306 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.839 the product of, say a hypnotic trance or you know, 307 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.920 some similar sleep type experience, or just a product of 308 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:28.079 being in certain areas which generate a particulars I called 309 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:33.000 the logical reaction due to them inherently being a bit dangerous. 310 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.920 The things I report are oddly the most mundane in 311 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.559 that I wasn't afraid at all, and everything about the 312 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:46.400 real world felt absolutely ordinary. Anyway, here's my report about 313 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.200 an incident that happened in the last week of October 314 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:53.640 twenty twenty four, when I was driving along White Tall 315 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:58.079 Road in Leeds, between Dixon Lane and the railway bridge 316 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.440 at Dragon Drive. I don't know what it was that 317 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.119 I encountered, so I don't know how to describe it. 318 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:09.559 It happened quite quickly, around eight seconds in all. I 319 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.519 could see it clearly, as it was around mid afternoon. 320 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.759 I was driving along the road I travel every day. 321 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.359 There is nothing special rout the ordinary about it. Whitehall 322 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:24.440 Road only A five eight is in Leeds. It's about 323 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.920 a mile mile and a half out of the city center. 324 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.200 It was around three twenty five to broad daylight. As 325 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.920 alone in the car, and at the time in question, 326 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:38.240 there was no oncoming traffic and nobody driving close behind me. 327 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.880 I just passed the Dixon Lane junction and was heading along. 328 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.799 There's one hundred meter stretch to where the road takes 329 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.759 a ninety degree turn to the right and it crosses 330 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.680 the railway line. The railway is cutting to the right 331 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.279 of me at that point, separated from the road by 332 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.000 a stone wall about four feet high. There's no pavement 333 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.720 to speak of, and to the left there's a steep 334 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:05.960 bank with a line of sandwich detached housing on it, 335 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:10.279 each with a steep garden that opens onto the pavement. 336 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.160 These houses are parking at the roadside in the lay by, 337 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:18.400 and this layby was fully parked up. There was just 338 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.960 one pedestrian, but I didn't see him until I looked 339 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.720 into my rear BUW mirror to see if anyone else 340 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:28.839 could have seen it. The whole sighting took maybe six 341 00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:32.440 to eight seconds. It's gone about twenty five mile an hour. 342 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.440 When I saw the figure of a young man running 343 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.640 downhill on Dragon Drive about sixty meters away from me. 344 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.720 He was coming from let to right, going really really fast. 345 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.279 I could see his legs moving very clearly. He was 346 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.920 wearing a black tracksuit with a hooder. No doubt in 347 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.000 my mind this was a person. My reaction was more wow, 348 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.000 look at him go. I moved my gaze to look 349 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.319 directly at him because it was an impressive speed. We 350 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.160 have a few people you know around area was about 351 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.119 on electric bikes of various kinds, noell mixed strubgies and 352 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.480 balaclavas up to something you know, no good, who knows what, 353 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.440 and this lad looked like one of them, minus the 354 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.920 electric bike or scooter. I assumed he was going to 355 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.680 dash across in front of me, and he was coming 356 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.319 towards me as well as moving left a right. I 357 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:29.720 thought he'd go down the side of the railway bridge 358 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.799 that I was approaching. And what happened next takes a 359 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.720 very long time to type, but it was only a 360 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:43.960 second or two in reality. But then I remembered there's 361 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.400 no path on the right side of the road, so 362 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.319 it seemed weird. If you were running to do that, 363 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.240 you'd stay back on the left and there is a 364 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.480 path there, otherwise you're just going to get run over. 365 00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.839 The bridge is a she cane with no space. And 366 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.680 then I realized that I've been wrong. He wasn't headed 367 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.240 to the road at all, but even closer to me, 368 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.400 towards the wall on my right. But that made no 369 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.759 sense either, because there's nothing there but that wall and 370 00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.559 then the railway cup. You're super steep drop. You know, 371 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.960 there's no way anyone would run there. As I appeared 372 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:25.359 at him trying to see better, you know, he was 373 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.799 now in the middle of the road, clear of all 374 00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.759 the cars on the left, and it was like I 375 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.839 could see the legs fine, but the upper taso was 376 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.160 just fading out like a shadow cast on the air. 377 00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:43.400 There was hardly any arms, and just a suggestion of 378 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:47.559 the movie and then honestly not really any kind of head. 379 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.440 I felt no fear of anything like that. 380 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.680 I was just focused and. 381 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:55.799 Looking at him, trying to understand what it was that 382 00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.839 I was looking at. I'm now about twenty meters away. 383 00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:05.240 As I stired, not sure I was really seeing anything right, 384 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.720 this figure deformed more so. There was just this bipedal 385 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:15.200 running movement in the lower part and the rest was 386 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.480 much more like a same shapeless shadow than a kind 387 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.880 of too deep kind of geometric edge, like a lot 388 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:28.000 of hexagons fading out into nothing. My brain was at 389 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.039 the point going got to be a plastic bag, because 390 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.359 a very stretched, thin film maybe of a bin line 391 00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:37.799 or was about all it could have been compared to 392 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:43.039 anything I've seen. I was still expecting him it to 393 00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:47.279 have to jump or hurdle the wall closer about ten 394 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.640 meters from him, but it just went right through the wall, 395 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.880 as if the wall wasn't there. In it either dropped 396 00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:57.200 or just vanished at that point, I mean a bag 397 00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.559 would have got caught on the wall. I'd say a 398 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.960 third of it it was above the wall heigh and 399 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:05.119 the rest was below. The well was probably only four 400 00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:09.279 foot high. I was now beyond it just before the turn. 401 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:11.920
