On Saturday, I picked up the latest - September - issue of Britain's Paranormal magazine. For those fascinated by tales of the British Bigfoot and Wild-Men, the magazine contains two articles that are absolutely essential reading.
The first is an excellent 4-page feature from Sean McNeaney that focuses on the legend of a ferocious Wild-Man said to have lived in woods near Stainfield, Lincolnshire. Was it all just a mere myth? Did the creature really exist? Or was something else afoot? The answers can be found in what is a truly fascinating article!
The second article that you'll find of interest is that of Dr. Karl Shuker, who addresses the idea that some of the Wild-Man legends may be due to sightings of relic, surviving populations of Neanderthals. This too is a first-class article that will appeal to anyone and everyone intrigued by tales of the British Man-Beast!

Bigfoot in Print
You can find a new review from me - at my regular, weekly Lair of the Beasts column at Mania.com - on the subject of a new book from David Hatcher Childress: Yetis, Sasquatch and Hairy Giants.
For those of you who are specifically interested in the British Bigfoot phenomenon, the book includes a small section on ancient reports of such creatures. This is a book that I definitely recommend, and one which is packed with accounts and photos of a Bigfoot nature!

Old Ned's Devil
Kark Shuker tells the strange story of Old Ned's Devil - a curious saga in which I play a tangential role, and which in many ways eerily parallels the equally curious saga of the infamous Man-Monkey of the Shropshire Union Canal.

The Paranormal Sasquatch
As many readers of this blog will know, I am firmly convinced that the British Bigfoot is far more paranormal than flesh-and-blood. And, I'm pleased to note that there's a new online thread on this curious, paranormal aspect of Bigfoot that may be of interest.
On this matter, Fortean researcher and writer states:
"Hi Nick. Hope all is well with you and your family. I contribute to a blog called The C-Influence Blog. Bruce Duensing, Lesley, Lon Strickler, etc. are on it as well as many others. The blog is 'esoteric discussion' among us bloggers. Lon wrote a great piece about 'paranormal' Bigfoot, and many of us, including myself, responded with articles of our own."
Lon's original article can be found here, and here's the follow-up postings from Regan, from Bruce Duensing, and from Eric Ouellet.
This is an excellent addition to a facet of the Bigfoot phenomenon that a lot of the investigators prefer not to deal with. In my opinion, however, it is, an aspect that deserves far more attention than it currently gets, and I'm very pleased to see it getting good, thought-provoking coverage at The C-Influence.

A Dorset Wild-Man?
This is a very strange story, to say the least! But, it's worth keeping an eye on...

The Scottish Man-Beasts
Over at Ghost Theory.com, there's a new post on the Scottish equivalent of Bigfoot (or some form of paranormal entity, depending on your own opinion of the evidence, of course!), which can be found right here.
And, in one of those weird little synchronicities that occur from time to time, Loren Coleman tells us about a new movie about to be made on the very same critter!

Graphically Monstrous!
Simon Wyatt is a friend and highly skilled artist living in Wales who has a series of graphic-novels coming out in the very near-future that are sure to be of great interest to anyone and everyone who reads this blog, and who has a fine appreciation of spooky woods, glowing-eyed monsters, and dark tales of a truly infernal variety.
Not only that: he also drew the excellent picture of the red-eyed Bigfoot that appears on the right-hand side of this blog, and at the foot of the blog, too.
I have written a blurb for the first volume of Simon's latest series of graphic-novels (titled Unbelievable: The Man Who Ate Daffodils), and which will be published later this year by Insomnia Publications.
You can find out more about Simon's work right here.
And in the meantime, check out this video from Simon that gives you an insight of what's in-store...
