Comments on: The Werewolves of Britain http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/werewolves-uk/ for Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and More Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:05:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: MoonBorn http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/werewolves-uk/#comment-15087 MoonBorn Sun, 11 Jun 2006 14:20:53 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/587/#comment-15087 I know this is a long blog so please bare with me. I live in a small town in Devon (UK) just south of Dartmoor and there have been many sightings of what appear to be werewolves in the fields near here and up onto the moors themselves. The most known sighting was in 1996 and was by Emily Watton. She was walking here two dogs; a collie and a labrador/springer spaniel cross, on the moors in early October when the dogs started going crazy. Then both, at the same instant, turned around and started trying to run in the opposite direction Emily was headed. Emily kept hold of the leads and while trying to turn the dogs around, she saw a huge creature "about 7 or 8 feet tall" running towards her. It was "wolf-like but the forelegs were much longer and the chest much deeper. It was covered in fine black, grey and brown fur and hair brilliantly yellow eyes." The snout was longer than either of her dogs' and she could see fangs when the creature opened its mouth. She started to run but the creature was, in her estimation, at least 4 times as fast as she was. When the creature got about 20 feet from her, the dogs suddenly turned and started barking at it. Emily kept running but as she looked over her shoulder, she saw the creature stand up on it's hind legs, grab the two dogs, then throw the collie into a rock and rip out her labrador/spaniel's throat. When she got back to town and told her husband what had happened she was taken to hospital. I'm not sure what happened to her after that but what i was told is that she died of shock that night. I just thought people might like to know that there are more sightings than have been 'officially' reported. I know this is a long blog so please bare with me.

I'm reminded of New Zealand's Coromandel Man, described as large, man-like beings covered in reddish or silvery-grey fur, that have been reported off and on since the 1930's. Interestingly, some suggest that they are in fact humans, the misidentification coming from the distances at which they've been observed (Or perhaps some sort of hairy native dress), and that they represent the last of the Morioris, a legendary pre-Maori people.

They have been seen all throughout North and South America, China, Siberia, Russia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Europe, Britain and, in fact, <a href="http://www.bigfootencounters.com/sbs/aikanaka.htm">Hawaii</a>. Now I'm not saying that there must be a paranormal origin for them by any means, but it does give one pause for thought. Many encounters do seem to possess paranormal features such as glowing red eyes, disappearing/appearing at will, and being seen in association with mysterious lights and UFOs. One must admit that the wild man image of the hairy biped is an archetypal one. Although it seems so very improbable to me, the remote possibility clearly remains that they are in fact tulpoid thought manifestations of the collective Human consciousness or perhaps incarnations of nature itself (referred to by Cryptozoologist Karl Shuker by the Indian term Deva). he concept has also been suggested to explain alien/fairy encounters and UFO's (by Dr. Carl Jung, among others). Anybody care to comment on this theory? The one thing which makes me hesitant to ascribe purely biological origins to hairy biped sightings is their near universal nature.

I have always been interested in the Werewolf legends from Britain and the rest of Europe. It is interesting that while in Europe we have a rich and intersting history of Werewolf sightings, legends and folklore but very little bigfoot. This I feel only strengthens the claims of Bigfoots existence. If there are no Bigfoot in Europe how can they be seen? (not discounting the sightings in the midlands-the subject of your recent blog but I feel its more likely they where werewolves than bigfoot). Its like people is Hawaii not seeing Bigfoot (because there are none there) but seeing them in most of the States in the USA & Canada because that is where bigfoot lives. Nick its always good to hear of any Crypto activity from the UK so keep up the good work and thanks again. Nick-Thanks for another very interesting blog.

I didn’t mean to imply that Bigfoot was a myth, but rather I was 'defending' the werewolf 'myth' from implications that it was a case of misidentification, and werewolves were in fact sasquatches, which is preposterous for many reasons. The fact that there have been ‘bigfoot’ sightings in England would to me imply that the English aren’t the ‘simple, belief ingrained folk’ which bills comment would suggest, and are able to tell the difference between a large bipedal dog, and a large bipedal ape (as most rational people would be), especially when the majority of the cases say “the head of a wolf”. Now, apes and canines do have rather different features, and from what I’ve read on the matter, whilst some Bigfoot sightings to mention fangs in the description of the beast, seldom to they mention pointed ears, as have been mentioned in these werewolf sightings. Go down to your local zoo and go to where they keep the monkeys and apes, and then the wolves and look at the differences between the facial features. It would be almost impossible to mistake an ape’s face with that of a wolf. I could have worded it better.

Come now, the people of England I’m sure can tell the difference between a large ape and a large wolf, especially if they specifically say the animal has the head of a wolf. Also, how many reports are there of sasquatches running on all fours? Could it perhaps be the other way around, and the "sasquatch" is in fact a werewolf, but American culture has changed the myth to suit their own beliefs? :P (I’m not saying that this is probable, just defending a myth) So because an animal is hairy and bipedal, it instantly has to be a Bigfoot?
