When cold cases are looked at, many officers believe the name of the culprit is already held within the paperwork. Time can restrict an investigation as people move away, forget details or pass away. But it also works in the other way, that loyalties change, people lose the fear of being found out or their conscience finally gets to them and new information is given.

In the spring of 2024, the town of Salford again found itself at the centre of a nightmare when parts of a human body started turning up all over the city. This including an abandoned bunker, the banks of a quiet reservoir, and multiple parks. However, the only clue they would find was from grainy surveillance footage of a lone man carrying heavy shopping bags through quiet streets. That is when they gave this killer the nickname heavy bagman.

Many people report terrifying encounters with Paranormal Beings as they go about their daily business and due to popular culture they are probably going to see it as negative, aggressive or in some cases Demonic. I like to put an end to the Satanic Panic by understand that many of these Beings are also just going about their daily business as they did when they were alive. Sometimes sending in a Paranormal Team of Investigators is not the best step for the families who live in

One evening I had been working on a project for my art class and decided to go and make a coffee. I could hear the chairs moving around down stairs and I figured I’d have a chat with whomever was there while the kettle was boiling. I walked down the stairs calling out a ‘hi’ as I went to find no one there? I could have sworn someone would be there and I had not heard the back door go? Puzzled, I  made my coffee and went back to my room. A bit later on I could hear the same no...

At first I thought it was somebody standing there having a cig and I was seeing the cigarette light up as he smoked. A little orange light, so I slowed right down and I realised there was nobody there. And I remember thinking who ever it was must have been really tall? At the point where I was thinking this through I got this feeling to look to my right, I did and I saw this pitch black figure in the shadows standing next to the style. I turned to it and just looking at it but it looked like...

As Claire walked her dogs she heard a huge crash and both dogs instantly reacted to it and when she looked to her left to see what was worrying the dogs she was confronted with a creature that is said to be impossible here on our Isle. A creature of great size, hair covered, thicky muscled, that seemed impervious to her presence, so much so that Claire had no fear attached to this event. Worried for her dogs, yes. But not for herself. She left the area with the knowledge what she had suspected all along was true, she was...

We watched as “It” came walking into a part clearing. This “Thing” was broad but ‘It’ wasn't much taller than us at the time, perhaps only 5/5 ft in height but its body was huge. "It" was hairy and thick with muscle. I remember "It" having a humped back almost, ‘It’ was sort of stooped somehow. ‘It’ was walking with purpose and then "It" just stopped dead in ‘Its’ tracks? At the time my friend and I looked at each other knowing what we were seeing was wordless. Even now I'm struggling to describe what "it" looked like and what it felt like to me standing...

So The incident that I am going to discuss took place on what was probably the last Saturday in November of 2022. It took place in Spring wood which is about two miles from Brigstock, a village about 4 miles south east from Corby Northamptonshire. On that day a local shoot were moving through Spring wood on what was their last but one drive of the day. The time was around 2.00 pm to 3.00pm. They had just finished the drive and one shot bird had not been retrieved. And so an individual who was just a beater for the day went back...

Bee was travelling home from York on her way home to Rodley in the early hours of the morning. Her husband was sleeping in the passenger seat. As she neared Leeds she began to feel a terrible foreboding. As she crossed the river bridge Bee saw a horrible humanoid shape step out into the road.

This experience led to several more scary encounters, some of which started to happen at her home. In one incident Bee felt to hands with distinct paws pressing down on her shoulders and on another occasion she was able to photograph them.

Selina who lives in the Staffordshire area and she has been experiencing strange activity around her home and when she walks her dog in the woodland close by. There have been multiple occasions when the family have heard bangs, snapping twigs or taps on the walls, a huge thud on part of the flat roof and numerous feelings of being watched and she feels this very strongly in the garden of the property. One recent experience involving her daughter prompted Selina to reach out to me as her daughter was touched on the arm by something hairy as she went...

The pathway we were on was only short, no more than 100m and it led out into the open onto football pitches and playing fields. As we were coming down the path towards the open grassland and rounded the slight bend we saw there was a large dark creature which was standing facing us, with its back to the football pitches. It was standing up on two legs and I can’t honestly remember many of its features, but I remember thinking it looked like it was a dog that was standing up on its hind legs. I’d guess it w...

What is it like to be followed through the woods, by something unseen, that tracks your every movement? Your senses heighten and your heart almost beats out of your chest. You peer into the darkness and see nothing. But you hear it breathing, you hear the leaves crunch under its feet as it crosses the terrain far quicker than you?

Listen to the witness reports, and view the areas where the experience took place.

I spent over 40 years looking for other people who lived in my town that may have seen something similar to the creature I saw. Just this month I was contacted by a lady who lived a few streets away from me that was having her own nightmare with a creature more hideous than a Werewolf on Athole street, Langworthy.

Pulled in two Tom was faced with a huge dilemma, should he leave to help the damsel clearly in distress or remain in the safety of his home.

Cryptid creatures, Strange Beings, Beasts and all manner of ‘Unknown Things’ are sometimes seen along our empty roadsides and dark forests here in the UK. Often the person who witnesses them struggles to understand exactly what they are seeing. The words used to explain them are usually ‘humanoid’ or ‘Hulking’ figures and their posture is described as ‘hunched over’ or ‘it had a humpback posture. In a couple of cases the witnesses to these Creatures have questioned if they were ‘Ailing or Old’ due to their strange ‘head on chest’ stance. It's one of the many matching descriptions I have come to know over the year...
