Honestly I think the best approach is accepting that EVP might be genuine communication but we don't currently have methodology rigorous enough to prove it.

Spring-heeled Jack is basically a Victorian-era panic/folklore phenomenon. No credible evidence of a physical entity.

The stories always seem half-remembered and vague - 'my mate saw a ghost woman,'Because they ARE half-remembered.

Your mum probably just experienced something called the Barnum effect, mate. That's where vague statements feel personally meaningful because your brain fills in the gaps.

Right, I'll be honest - I'm a proper skeptic. But my mum paid £85 to see some medium in Cheltenham last month and swears blind she predicted stuff about my late nan.
Could you go back to that location during daytime and try to figure out sight lines and distances? Sometimes our perception of scale changes dramatically in different lighting.
This description matches the 'thin man' reports from Pennine folklore. Not sure if that's reassuring or more unsettling.

I've lived in Surrey for years and the big cat sightings are probably misidentified dogs or foxes in poor light.
could these actually be indigenous wild cats we've forgotten about? Honestly unlikely but theoretically possible in remote areas like Scottish Highlands.
Most Underground 'hauntings' are urban legend, but there have been documented deaths and accidents over the 150+ years of operation. St.

You're just getting old and grumpy, which is fair enough. But also yes, the community has probably become more divided and hostile. The skeptic/believer dynamic used to involve more good faith.

The fact he specifically mentioned the 72-hour lockdown is interesting because that's consistent with other accounts and suggests genuine military concern.

The stiff gait could indicate someone with a medical condition, someone in protective gear (hazmat suit?), or someone deliberately moving unusually.

Britain genuinely did have larger wild cats until relatively recently - lynx populations lasted until the medieval period in some areas.
I'd analyse it. I've looked at probably 40+ doorbell camera 'paranormal' clips. Most are genuinely mundane once you understand camera optics and 2am perception.

Surrey big cats are legendary at this point - there's been reports for decades. The issue is there's literally zero physical evidence. No bodies, no confirmed scat, no DNA, no clear photographs.
Have you tried frequency analysis? Using spectrograms to identify anomalies rather than just listening. Digital analysis removes the human pattern-matching element.
