Also known as “The Big Gray Man,” this creature is said to inhabit the summit of Ben Macdui, the second-highest mountain in Scotland. As the dog left, he left scorch marks on the north door which can be seen at the church to this day. The belief self-perpetuates today through multiple observations enhanced by the media and encouraged (largely with the aim of gain for touristic promotion) by the local population, often genuinely convinced of the reality of this profitable phenomenon. The Grand Hunt: A lot of the anecdotal sightings of various cryptids are taken from accounts of hunts, particularly fox hunts, and the hunters often end up injured or dead at the hands of the cryptids.

This is not the kind of cat you’d want to cuddle up with: The killings of hundreds of sheep have been pinned on the creature, which is said to be up to 6.Panicked and praying for mercy, the people inside the church saw the Black Shuck, and the ones who touched it were attacked. Some believe the creature is a big cat like a puma that either escaped or was released from a private owner after it became illegal to own big cats in the 1970s. Would Hurt a Child: It is accused of attacking and killing a young girl out playing, as well as many other children. The Black Shuck was first spotted by a young boy working at Bungay Castle, Suffolk, years after Hugh’s death.

The Woodwose is a hairy Wild Man that is actually compared to bigfoot come the 70's (the then-present day). Earlier this year the Bristol Post reported on a similar sighting of a large, bipedal, ape-like creature near Yatton. He’s talking about the curious tales attached to the “Bridgewater Triangle”, a swampy region of south Massachusetts where all manner of nasties lurk amid the trees. The huntsmen were black, huge and hideous, and rode on black horses and on black he-goats and their hounds were jet black with eyes like saucers and horrible. Media coverage of purported "cryptids" often fails to provide more likely explanations, further propagating claims made by cryptozoologists.For those who have never heard the story of the Black Shuck, it’s a dark tale about a dog-like animal, with red eyes and an evil spirit. The Honey Island Swamp Monster is a 7-foot-tall, 400-pound, stinky gray-haired beast first spotted by two hunters in Louisiana’s Honey Island Swamp in 1963.

The '70s: The series was ostensibly created in 1974, and the few segments that take place in the time do reveal the fashions of the era. Thinking it was being attacked by a fox, he jumped his garden fence to chase it away; but a large feline emerged from bushes and pounced on him, sending him flying. Fictional Document: Almost every episode contains quotations, and images of, numerous fictional books and news reports.Anachronism Stew: Keen-eared viewers may recognise that some of the information and dates given don't match up with reality. Mars Needs Women: The narrator seems oddly fixated on the idea that semi-humanoid cryptids, like Stag Men and Woodwose, desire sex with human women.
