I'm doing some research into the Bodmin Moor creature reports (what people call the Beast of Bodmin) and I'm trying to separate actual documented sightings from folklore. The sightings go back centuries supposedly but most of the recent ones seem to be from the 1980s onwards.
I've found loads of anecdotal accounts but hardly any actual photographic evidence, which strikes me as odd. In the modern era with everyone carrying a camera on their phone, if this creature exists and is still around, surely someone's got decent footage by now?
Not looking to debunk anyone, genuinely interested in what evidence exists. Photos, trail camera footage, paw prints, anything concrete. Believers, what's your best evidence? Skeptics, what would convince you it's something more than stray dogs and misidentification?
