1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: Paul Sinclair, I know what you mean when you talk

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: about the stigma that comes attached with the ideas of

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: where wolves. People will say, ah, that's just something that

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: Hollywood made up, when in fact, where wolves wear, cats,

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: shape shifters, things of that sort that those have been

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: reported throughout human civilization, throughout human history pretty much everywhere.

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: I mean, the oldest petroglyph in the world shows a

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: shape shifter, and as you document in your film Wolf Lands,

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: the idea of shape shifters in that particular area East

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: Yorkshire has been around as long as people have been there, right,

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: It's very concentrated there.

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 3: It really is. You know, when you start feeling back

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: the layers, George, and you realize that this do we

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: call it a phenomena. It's real. It's very real, and

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: it's been here all of the time, and it's come

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: through the generations and come through over hundreds of years.

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 3: It seems to resurface. Unlike I touched on earlier, is

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: that just because you've got someone in the area a

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: little bit more interested stroke dedicated. I don't know, if

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: you go back and over one hundred and twenty years

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: in a tiny village in North Yorkshire. And there's not

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: a lot separate separating eastern North you know. I mean,

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: I'm only probably twelve miles from the border of North Yorkshire,

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: not even that. But there was a writer and researcher

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: called Howard Breally and I found it in an old

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: archive whilst looking through old documents in the Bridlington Library.

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: And Howard Breally wrote about what he called the bar Guest,

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: a huge fur covered hound with huge glowing red eyes

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: that frequented, that haunted the forests and mus of North Yorkshire.

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: And what's interesting he lived in East Eyton and I

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: touched on the forest of Ness apologies, I touched on

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: the forest of Broxa earlier. And in between Broxa and

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: East Ayton you've got Hackness, which is the heart of

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: the Forge Valley. And when you when you go into

36
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: Hackneys it's literally four miles from East Stayton. So this

37
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 3: man one hundred and twenty years ago is talking about this,

38
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: he's obviously got some knowledge of it, and those probably

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: ancient texts and those there's I don't know, maybe oral

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: stories that have gone to the grave with people way

41
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 3: back then, but he had knowledge of it back then,

42
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: the bar guest of East Dayton. And it's literally four

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 3: miles from the entrance to the Forge Valley, which is Hacknes. Incidentally,

44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: Hackneys used to be called hat Chanos, which means with

45
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: the whiskers. Quite where that fits into everything, George, I

46
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: don't know, but it's an interesting name.

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: Well, the Hamniby, this little settlement, Humnaby, what does that mean?

48
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: It's translated into Yeah.

49
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: It's hund meaning hound, hund. So you'll find a lot

50
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: of people in eastern North Yorkshire. They've they've got their

51
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: own dialects, so they'll say a hund and but it

52
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: actually means a hound or a dog, so you've got

53
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: hunded man, so you've got hound man. So when you

54
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: put them together, b hundman Bey is a village. Incidentally,

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: it's two miles from Flixton, which is the place where

56
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: we talk about the Flixton werewolf. And there's nothing in

57
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: between Hunmanby and Flixton. There's just barren land. There's woodland

58
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: and open land. The wolves which in ancient text means

59
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: the wilds. So you've got hundman Mey hundman By George,

60
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 3: which literally means farmstead of the hound Man. Yet I've

61
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: not created this to fit it in nicely into the

62
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: documentary Wolfland. These ingredients are already there for me. And

63
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: it's so fast because in between Flixton and huntmanby Armstead

64
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: of the hound Man, you've got a hill that you

65
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: branch off from Flixton and go this hill, and it's

66
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: called Whitegate Hill. The amount of reports that I've got

67
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: from Whitegate Hill is uncanny of a upright by peedal

68
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: creature that's jumped into the road in front of two

69
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: ladies driving home. They haven't gone on film. I've got

70
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: their story and we do hope to get them in

71
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: the next documentary. Obviously the driving they've not been drinking.

72
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: It's took them by surprise. It They're going down white

73
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: Gate Hill towards Flixton and this thing jumps into the

74
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: road and they saw it for a split second. I

75
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: don't think these things are by chance, George. You've got

76
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: all that open countryside, you've got all that woodland, Yet

77
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 3: suddenly something jumps in front of somebody's car and then

78
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: springs off. She said everything looked or they said apologies

79
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: there they said everything looked wrong about this, yet it

80
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: moves so fast. He was very lean as well. I'm

81
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: told there's another story, and I've called this the twig Man,

82
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: and it came from October twenty se October twenty sixth,

83
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. And once again we've got a guy

84
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: who was driving from a nearby village called Muston. And

85
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: once again we're only three miles from Flixton, two miles

86
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: from Hummumby. Muston used to be called Moonstone. There was

87
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: a large stone there many many years ago. But he's

88
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: driving there in the night, I think. He said. The

89
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 3: time was just before nine pm, about fifty miles an hour,

90
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: and he said, in his peripheral vision he caught a

91
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: glimpse of something stood at the side of the road,

92
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: and as he approached it, its immediately set off running

93
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: and was teething up with the car, which is not

94
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: possible at fifty miles an hour. Fifth fifty to sixty,

95
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 3: I think, is what he said. He said, he's fiddling

96
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: with the full beam, and he put the full beam

97
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: on his car and toret a glimpse of this thing,

98
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: which he thought when he saw it in his peripheral

99
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 3: it was he thought it was covered in twigs. He

100
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: thought it was just a huge upright bipeople whatever. He

101
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: doesn't know how to describe it covered in twigs. Now

102
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: he believes it was mattered air. He said it kept

103
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: up with his car for about ten seconds. He said,

104
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: I'm still messing with the lights and shot by what

105
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: I've seen, and he just diverted and just ran away

106
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: into the onto what's called flixton star car. That once

107
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: again the ancient lake bed where the people from the

108
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: Mesolithic times, I said to a practiced shaman in stick

109
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: magic and sacrifice. So all the ingredients are there, and

110
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: everything seems to be linked. And you know, I'm not

111
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: bending these stories George to fit a narrative. The it's

112
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: just a it's perfect. It's like he's just fitted together.

113
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: It's just I've found it fascinating.

114
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: There's one of the stories that you come back to

115
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: through the film. You go camping with these guys who

116
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: had had an experience. You go back to the location

117
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: this down in this ravine. It's almost pretty claustrophobic. They

118
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: were down there, there's no way they could really get

119
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: out in a hurry. But what did they see down

120
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: there that just scared the Bejesus out of them.

121
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, these are the guys that planned their wild camp.

122
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: They do it two or three times a year. There

123
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: was three of them, only two would go on film.

124
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: And they contacted me, George. I mean, obviously I would

125
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: not know these stories unless people had and I'll get

126
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: into that. But momentarily, when Steve first contacted me, and

127
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: he'll not mind me saying this, he broke down in tears.

128
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: Nobody to speak to apart from Jim, who had witnessed

129
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: it with him, and as he says in wolf Lands,

130
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: he'd not even told his wife. And they drove from

131
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: a place called Roderm, which would be about one hundred

132
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: and thirty miles away, And they drove to a place

133
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: and parked up at a place called Reesti Bank, which

134
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: in essence, the word Reesti means rancid and disgusting play.

135
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: There's nothing smelly about it. White's called that, I don't know.

136
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: And then from there they went on foot into the

137
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: forest of brocks A and descended into a ravine. It's

138
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: a seven to eight hundred foot ravine. We've spent time

139
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: down in there, as you said, And when they went

140
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: in that night. They went in quite late, and they

141
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: didn't know the correct route, so in some places they

142
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: had to go down on the bottoms because it was

143
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: so steep. There's actually another path where it's very steep,

144
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: but you can still make access without doing that. Now,

145
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: Witness number three, as we'll call him, hasn't gone on film.

146
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: This is the interesting part for me, the more paranormal

147
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: aspect to it, when they got down there and started

148
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: setting up camp, because these guys weren't interested in unexplained phenomena.

149
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: All they wanted to do. They were again the River

150
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: dare Went, which runs in the bottom of this ravine.

151
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: All they wanted to do was just relax and having

152
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: an incredible weekend. There's three guys together just in the wilds,

153
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: and Witness number three said, I don't like it. We've

154
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 3: got to go. There's something watching now, Steve said. He said,

155
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 3: it were getting dark. We'd already struggled to get down there,

156
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: and there were no way we were getting up in

157
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: the night. And he's getting more and more nervous, so

158
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: to the point where they think he's gonna go on

159
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: his own, he said. And then all of a sudden,

160
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: he's the witness number three said, look over there, and

161
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: in the darkness, the huge pair of amber eyes lit up.

162
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: These eyes just glowing in the darkness. As Jim said,

163
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: he said, no torch on them. The firelight wasn't illuminating them.

164
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: And I went back on my own, you know. Well,

165
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: I went back with a friend and we measured it.

166
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: It was forty two feet away. I took a surveyor's tape,

167
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: and because I had already camped in the area with

168
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: these guys, I knew exactly where it appeared and where

169
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: they were sat. And in the end, Jim and Steve

170
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: were so concerned that their friend were going to go

171
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: running off into the darkness that Jim stood up and

172
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: walked towards this whatever it was. He said. It was

173
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: about three off the ground, But he said, but the

174
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: eyes were huge, as big as his fists, and human

175
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: shaped and an amber, he said. And I couldn't think

176
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 3: of an animal to assign these eyes to. Those were

177
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: his exact words, he said. So I stood up, made

178
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: a few hissing and showing sounds, and it disappeared. So

179
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: I turned back round to the guys, to my friends,

180
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: and suddenly their jaws they dropped, he said, and I

181
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 3: realized something was wrong, he said, So when I turned back,

182
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: he said, I just couldn't believe what I was looking at.

183
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: He says, from being three foot off the ground, these

184
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: eyes were now seven foot in the air, and I

185
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: could see the outline of this. What they said was

186
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: aware wolf, as crazy as that might sound for people.

187
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: And you know, George, it's not just that. Steve said,

188
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 3: if you'd have asked me to draw that aware wolf

189
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: sketch it, I wouldn't have drawn that. He said. It

190
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 3: was ridiculous. He said, everything about it looked ridiculous. He said.

191
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 3: You could see these monstrous shoulders, he said, and I

192
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: very so often it would turn to the right and

193
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: they could see this muzzle that looked exaggerated so long,

194
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: and Steve admits, and you know, I don't mind using

195
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: the names, because these guys have been happy enough to

196
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: go on film, and what they've said, what I'm saying

197
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: now is nothing that they've not said on film. He said.

198
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 3: He watched us all night, he said. In the end,

199
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: he said, I wanted it to be over, and I

200
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: wasn't bothered how it ended. It was so frightening, he said,

201
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: I couldn't even look at it, yet I could still

202
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: see the glowing eyes in my peripheral and he said

203
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: it was absolutely terrifying. And daylight started to seep through,

204
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: and it had gone, but had it gone because their

205
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: friends said, it's still here. He's still here. And as

206
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: they're packing the things up and walking out of the

207
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: forest as hastily as they can, he's still telling them

208
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: it's there. And then they got to a certain point

209
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: in the forest, he says, we're all right now he's gone.

210
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: And there's another element to that, George, that I didn't

211
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: add during the night, when it was watching them, when

212
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: they're all huddled together and frightened, Witness number three said,

213
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: he doesn't want you here. It wants you to go.

214
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: So that implies to me and Jimmy and Steve hadn't

215
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: picked up on it and all that. And I know

216
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: we'll never know, because I don't think they've spoken to

217
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: him about It's troubled him so much that this thing

218
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: somehow was communicating with him. He says, he doesn't want

219
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,479
Speaker 3: you to be. He wants you to go. Jim he says,

220
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: he said in Yorkshire dialect, and the which means and

221
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: you and the Steve it wants you to go. It

222
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: doesn't want you here. So how did he perceive that?

223
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: How did he know that that creature, whatever it was,

224
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: was watching him. There's definitely some element that takes these

225
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: things over and above your standard flesh and blood, bone

226
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 3: and skin animal for me, And I know not everybody's

227
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: going to agree, but that's the way I look at it. George.

228
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to play a little clip, one clip that

229
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: you provided to us from the film. It's it's one

230
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: of the witnesses. You can tell us a little bit

231
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: filling some details on the other side of it, but

232
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: we're going to play that now, Michael.

233
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 4: So, as I'm settling down, I hear a noise over

234
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: to the left. It's a good distance to where, twenty

235
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: thirty meters away. I've heard this noise in the brush.

236
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 4: It sounds like an animal, but it sounded like a

237
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 4: relatively big something decent size.

238
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

239
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: Then I've become aware that the atmosphere has changed sort of.

240
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 4: I can't hear the waves anymore. I can't really hear

241
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 4: any any wind, insect noises pretty much gone.

242
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: It's just still.

243
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 4: It's like someone's pressed pause. Then all of a sudden,

244
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: I get an anxiety that's sort of started to come

245
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 4: over me. I'm looking over to direction where the noise

246
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: has come from originally, and I can hear something in

247
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 4: that area, but it's coming towards me. It's I can

248
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 4: hear a bubbom of sort of footsteps, but I couldn't

249
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: pick any footsteps out, real heavy footsteps, really heavy. But

250
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: it was the atmosphere that came with it. It was

251
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: like it was like a train was charging at me,

252
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: or a group of race orses. Something was coming towards me.

253
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: Need to stress here. You don't come up in these

254
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: areas and experience anything like this usually, no, never before.

255
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 4: I've sat here all night long, not heard anything, not

256
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: being bothered, not being nervous about anything. It's darker here,

257
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: but that doesn't worry me at all. It's strange that

258
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: something would bother me. But it was almost like the

259
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: anxiety in me just switched on from where. I can't

260
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: tell you proper fear. I was terrified. I was absolutely terrified.

261
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: Well, you've heard that description from multiple witnesses that you

262
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: interview for this film, as somehow these creatures tap into

263
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: the brain into the flight or fight response, and the

264
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: fear is exaggerated and immediate.

265
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: Right, that's correct, As he says, he went from zero

266
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: to ten. It's kind of in an instant. And anybody

267
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 3: who watches the film and sees this guy, gazz that's

268
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: his first name, will we'll realize that it's quite a

269
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: formidable looking guy, a really nice man as well, to

270
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: be honest with you. But he'd gone up to a

271
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 3: place called Scolby Mills, which is on the edge of

272
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: the North Sea, and he'd gone to tryumph film and

273
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: get photographs of the Northern Lights. And it's a remote place,

274
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: quite remote on this cliff top. And this is one

275
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: of the instances where he didn't actually see anything, but

276
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: this this terror impressed itself upon him. And as he says,

277
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: he first of all, he could hear movement in the

278
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: brush a distance away, and he's sort of focused on that,

279
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: and then he can hear heavy footsteps, bipedal footsteps coming

280
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: towards him. What the if would have played a little

281
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: bit more of that, George would he would have said

282
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: that when the fear hit him, this wave of fear,

283
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: and he said, it was almost as though someone had

284
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 3: pressed pause. I loved his analogy, he said, because the

285
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: sound of the sea, the sound of the seabirds, and

286
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: anybody who was looking near the coast who was listening

287
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: to this will know that the seabirds don't switch off

288
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: in the night, that they've got better eyes than owls,

289
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: to be honest, George, They're absolutely amazing, flying everywhere. And

290
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: he said, but everything stopped like someone had pressed pause,

291
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: and he could feel this pressure in the air and

292
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: this thing coming towards him. And he said, I dropped

293
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: into the fetal position, and I expected to get whacked,

294
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: was his exact words. He expected to get something was

295
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: gonna hit him. As soon as he felt like it

296
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: was upon him, everything just snapped back to normal, and

297
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: the experience it was as if it had never happened.

298
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy is a big, tough looking guy, and

299
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: he says, I felt like I was a five year

300
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: old kid. I was absolutely terrified.
