I ask because I have been experiencing phenomena associated with bigfoot but in a decidedly urban area! All the phenomena is unsubstantial and at first I put the sounds and half seen shadows down to prowlers. However keeping an open mind I have been reading what I can about bigfoot sightings in Britain and it seems that some folk reckon that the phemonena is not a physical animal but some sort of other dimensional beast (ghost??)

Can any one suggest what?

So. Obviously there CAN’T be a group of gigantic, hair-covered bipeds running around scaring the locals, any more than there can be big cats, wild boar, kangaroos, wolves or ghostly black dogs roaming the Chase.

NEVERTHELESS… there they are, in reports from seemingly level-headed folk from all across the years!

Crypto-fans, we have to remember that no matter how “impossible” the reports seem to be, no matter how much we would love it all to be true, no matter our personal agenda, the very nature of “Crypto” includes both the rock-solid evidence of captured animals AND the borderline paranormal aspects!

Crypto archives are replete with tales of mysterious appearances and behaviors of unbelieveable creatures ~ whether we like it or not, “Cryptos” come and go on their own schedule, much like ghosts or UFOs.

We just need to concentrate on the three “A” technique: Assimilate the data, Analyze the data and, finally, Act on the data. Skip any of those three “As” and we are wasting our time!

If the data indicates a Bigfoot in the Chase, there are only a few conclusions we can reach (hoax, hallucination, misidentification or Beast! If Beast, then we need to deal with the “whence” and “whither” ~ where did it come from, and where did it go ~ but NOT with the “it can’t be there because etc etc…”.

We must act to determine which is the most likely answer to these questions, whether or not we like the outcome, and then Act accordingly.

Else, just chuckle knowingly and go back to watching the Olympics.

Firstly its good to know that people like yourself are investigating the British Bigfoot sightings-great stuff.

Although I want nothing more than you to be succesful in your search and a British Bigfoot to be sighted and photographed I do think a Bigfoot or a small community of Bigfoot would struggle to live unmolested in an area that really is not that big. Cannock Chase was an old mediaval hunting ground (have there been Bigfoot sightings from those times?) And the area although fairly large by English standards is criss crossed by walkways and paths, has 1.9million people living within 30km of it and also has Sand & Gravel extraction going on in it. This added to the regular amount of ramblers, tourists and people generally using it as a recreational ‘park’ would be too much for a Bigfoot Community to cope with.

As the area is well known for its fauna and countless people visit the area to look for smaller creatures that are rare in the UK like adders, lizards, nightjars, badgers etc. Do we get many sightings from these folks who are only there because they have a genuine interest in nature and surely would be fascinated by the sightings of any unknown species whatever the type?

Nick, good luck with your quest and as a resident of Great Britain I eagerly await news of quest.
