Posting this because I genuinely need witnesses to corroborate. I was camping on Bodmin Moor from the 8th to 10th November - terrible weather, dark nights, proper isolated. On the second night around 2 AM, something large moved through the camp. Not a person. Not a normal animal.

It was bipedal. I heard the footfalls - deliberate, heavy, moving between the tents. My mate was asleep, I was on watch (insomnia, not paranoia). Whatever it was, it took its time, like it was investigating us. No sound after it moved past except the wind. The next morning we found massive prints in the mud. Not bear, not boar. Something else.

The Beast of Bodmin has been dormant in the public consciousness for years but I reckon it's still out there. Anyone else been tracking sightings in that area? The dark months seem to be when activity peaks.

Mate, you need to get those prints documented and photographed. Plaster cast them if you can. I'm genuinely interested because Bodmin has a consistent pattern of sightings going back centuries. If you've got physical evidence, that changes things. Can you describe the prints more specifically? Size, depth, claw marks, arrangement?

This is either genuine evidence of an unknown species, or you're victims of sleep paralysis and environmental suggestion. Moorland creates natural anxiety - isolation, darkness, weather. The mind fills gaps. That said, I'd love to see those photos if you took any. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.

November on Bodmin is genuinely creepy. The dark nights do something to the atmosphere there. I've camped multiple times and there's always this sense of being watched. Whether that's because something is actually watching or because our brains are wired to expect predators in dark, open spaces is the real question. Did you experience any electromagnetic anomalies? Dead phones, compass spinning, etc.?

This detail is crucial. Predatory animals typically avoid humans. An animal that deliberately approaches and investigates is either habituated (meaning repeated contact) or something with higher cognition. Have you reported this to the local wildlife trust?
