Monster-Magnet
My latest Lair of the Beasts column at Mania.com focuses on one area of Britain that is undoubtedly an absolute magnet for paranormal Bigfoot-type encounters: the Castle Ring...

British Wild Men in Paranormal
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...
