The Cleadon Big Hairy Man

Mike Hallowell has a fascinating new post online at the Centre for Fortean Zoology's main blog on the subject of a "big-hairy man" encounter in the village of Cleadon. The report is a preliminary one; but contains a lot of interesting data. Hopefully, Mike will be able to update us on this affair in the near future.

Well, none other than British Waterways have picked up on the story and have a new posting that reveals background data on the affair, as well as much more on the haunted canals of Britain.
