I've been up Pendle maybe twenty times and never experienced anything. Though I did chat to a local in the pub (Barley Mow, brilliant beer by the way) who mentioned that certain spots are avoided...
For equipment: Thermal cameras are brilliant in winter because the temperature differential is clearer, but most consumer models really do struggle below freezing.
I listened to it. Good production values, but the podcast does exactly what everything Skinwalker Ranch-related does: treats folklore, claims, and documentation as equivalent to evidence.
Right, I'm trying to get into cryptozoology properly rather than just reading random internet threads and I want some actual recommendations for good books or documentaries.
The temperature drop you mentioned is actually significant and rarely gets reported by people in straightforward animal encounter scenarios.
The issue with Skinwalker Ranch is that it's specifically *looking* for anomalies, which biases the interpretation.
I'm planning to do some observations out on the Yorkshire moors over the summerMate, if you're heading to Yorkshire you need to think about weather. Moors get proper fog, rain, and mist.
There actually was a catastrophic flood event at the end of the last ice age - it's called the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, though there's still scientific debate about it.
Blimey, that's quite the tale. Pendle's got some seriously dark history - the executions in 1612, the whole witch trial thing. There's definitely something in the fabric of that place.
If you're serious about investigations, the thermal camera is worth having in your arsenal. But budget 60% of your time learning to read the data and 40% on the equipment itself.
I've actually done some woodland camera trapping in the New Forest and Quantock Hills - not specifically for Bigfoot, more general wildlife monitoring.
Most poltergeist cases collapse under scrutiny. The Pontefract case is actually a good example - seems genuine until you realise the teenager at the centre of it was absolutely capable of throwing...
Posted this on Reddit first but figured you lot would actually take it seriously. I'm a ghillie up near Braemar, so I'm out on the hills most days.
This is probably nothing, but I found what might be a large primate footprint whilst hiking near Malham in the Yorkshire Dales last weekend.
Right, so I'm probably going to sound mental, but last Halloween (31st October) I had something happen to me and my mates that I've not really discussed with anyone until now.
