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 noises again and I went to investigate. Again there was no one there?

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 a dog standing up.

Any confirmation or denial that information were or were not held may jeopardise future investigative measures or any associated legal case. Although we recognise a general benefit in confirmation or denial in the importance of transparency, overall we do not consider it appropriate to confirm or deny that information is or is not held, if to do so may impact on an investigation.

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 not out here alone on the land.

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 there looking at "It" and wondering what "It" was going to do next.

Listeners tales of Shadow Beings that appear in their homes, or stalk their children at night. Strange Running Shadow Figures are also seen along our road ways and railway lines and many a driver comes into contact with the unknown.

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 through the wood with his dog to find the bird. This should have taken ten minutes or so given that his dog was a trained gun dog. The individual did not return. 

So he was in his sixties and was an experienced shooting man. Why he did not have a gun that day I don't know. So somebody went to look for him and could not find him. There is a release pen in the wood and the gate is always closed. When the searcher arrived at the gate it was open. He entered the pen and searched to no avail. He reported back to the other members and the shoot was terminated.

A more intensive search ensued, again drawing a blank. and so the police were called. By 6 pm they were treating him as missing and enquiries were being made in the local area. Also two Facebook pages went up on the internet, one by the gentleman's family asking if anyone knew of his whereabouts and one was posted by Northamptonshire Police along the same lines. By 8 00pm there was a police presence on the outside of the wood along with the remaining shoot members whom I believe were told to remain at the site.

At no time during the entire night was any attempt by the police made to search for the man. Both the Facebook postings had been removed by 9 00pm that night.

By around 11 00am the following day Sunday, Paramedics were in attendance in the field to the roadside of Spring wood that's the Brigstock to Lower Benefield road. The man was either dead onsite or died in hospital.

I was told in a cryptic way that he had been found with some kind of lacerations and around three weeks later I found large prints outside my mobile home. There had been a period of rainfall and the track next to my van was like slurry. That night there was a sharp frost and when I went out in the morning the first thing I saw were the prints. They were not there the day before. They were very clear and measured 4 1/2 inches x 3 inches. I took photos and measured them with the tape in the photos. I showed them to interested parties who said that they were dog prints. The thing is there are no claw marks showing as you would expect from a dog. I measured the distance between two of the prints and the distance was 27 inches. I live in a remote site which as the crow flies is approximately 15 miles from Brigstock the site of the incident.

This incident never made the news. If the man had suffered a health issue and died there would have been some local coverage. If he had been involved in a shooting accident it would have received coverage. No reference to what happened to his dog has ever been made. It’s possible that it went for his dog and he intervened to his cost or maybe it just went for him. To this day residents in Brigstock know nothing about the events of that night. What ever happened to this man was shut down and supressed by the authorities.

During the following 20 yrs there have been many sightings of a large cat along the road from Brigstock to Lower Benefield. Not long before the man died there was a sighting of it in Spring Wood and once again it was a close encounter with a big cat from only a few metres away. Pug marks have also been found over the years.

“One local man stated there were upwards of 30 officers out that night and the man was found in an area that could have been easily searched, meaning he was out there all night and into the next day before he was found. The woodland is very small, so he and I have no idea how it was even possible to go missing there. Other than the police presence you wouldn't have known anything was happening. The police did a house to house check to see if anyone had seen him but nobody had. And nobody knows what happened to his dog?
