This is genuinely fascinating. Missing time around solstices is actually quite well documented in UFO literature - particularly during summer solstice because of the extended daylight.
Welcome! Don't worry, you're in good company here. The Yorkshire moors have a proper reputation for strangeness - Spring-heeled Jack was reportedly spotted all over that area back in the day.

Interesting timing question - I've noticed the real spikes are actually 3-4 days BEFORE the equinox, not on the day itself. Might be worth checking your records more precisely?

The one that gets me is when they blame everything on 'intelligent spirits' communicating through the electrics.

The grounding is absolutely crucial during solstices because the energy is intense. Before you start, spend proper time visualising protective barriers around yourself.

I'm posting this anonymously because my family would absolutely do my head in if they knew I was discussing this publicly.
The Spectral one sounds interesting from a technical standpoint because it claims to have filtering algorithms. That's at least trying to do something beyond just raw white noise.
Did you check for tracks? That would be the most objective evidence. If you saw what you're describing, there would be footprints in the soil or disturbed vegetation in the direction it went.

About three weeks ago I was hiking in the Cairngorms with my brother, just a casual day walk up around Braemar way. Weather was decent - bit overcast but visibility was good.
The hardest part of this project will be separating genuine anomalies from misidentifications, folklore, and hoaxes.

I'm planning a proper EVP investigation marathon for winter solstice (21st December). The longest night, shortest day, maximum darkness - theoretically the veil should be absolutely paper-thin.
Regardless of the cause, that's a genuinely frightening experience and I'm sorry you've had it. Whether it's paranormal or neurological doesn't really matter in terms of how you're feeling right...

The eyeshine thing is the giveaway for me. Most cryptids aren't supposed to have that reflective quality. Could've been a very tall person on stilts tbh.

Welcome to the forum mate! What you're describing sounds like it could be a few things - the Yorkshire moors have quite a lot of cryptid activity reported.

The problem is that genuine paranormal researchers end up getting lumped in with all the TV nonsense.

Have you looked at whether the sightings correlate with any astronomical events? Autumn equinox to All Saints Day (Nov 1st) is a pretty specific window. That's traditionally when the veil is thin.

Is this just confirmation bias? Yes. Absolutely yes. You're more likely to investigate during autumn because of Halloween hype, so you're bound to find more 'activity'.

The MOD restrict forest access for completely mundane reasons all the time - ammunition disposal, infrastructure maintenance, training exercises. It's not sinister, it's just what they do.
Have you looked into the Scottish Cryptid Database? They've got quite a bit of historical material that might be relevant.
Have you considered whether it might've been a sewage worker from a different section? Or someone from a different organisation working in the tunnels?
