Now and again, each and every one of us in this field comes across a story that has cryptozoological overtones to it, but which doesn’t easily fit into what is generally accepted as Cryptozoology.
This one – my latest post for New Page Books’ Creature of the Month section – dates from 1975 (but was brought to my attention many years later) is a classic example.
Although it involves a late-night sighting in the UK of hairy, wild-looking creatures, it also has aspects of “alien abduction” and “missing time” to it, too.
Definitively cryptozoological? Nope! Undeniably ufological? Same answer! Without doubt Fortean? Yep!
