Researcher Nick Redfern(1) shared accounts he uncovered while searching for cryptozoological creatures in the U.K. There are three types of unusual bipedal beings that have been reported in Britain, he said, which include werewolves, Bigfoot, and feral wild men.
Sightings of werewolves, which typically have a wolf-like head but can stand on two feet, were often accompanied by a feeling of horror or evil, Redfern noted. He speculated that they could be interdimensional in nature, and because they are often spotted in the vicinity of ancient stone circles, they may serve as "guardians" of "windows" into these other dimensions.
He also discussed the "Black Dog" legend and described witness testimonies that date back hundreds of years of huge animals with glowing red eyes. Sightings have been thought to be harbingers of either tragedy or fortune, he commented. Redfern will next be speaking at MUFON's Annual Symposium(2) in July on British Triangle UFO sightings, and he is also writing online articles for Phenomena Magazine(3).

Monsters & Mind Games

This artist depiction is of a man-beast type creature with glowing eyes, which is described in Nick Redfern's latest book Three Men Seeking Monsters(1). Redfern has also sent us this photo, that supposedly shows a small sea serpent-type animal, swimming in the River Thames, London.
Interestingly, Redfern writes in the April issue of UFO Magazine(2), that the U.S. government has on occasion actively staged and promoted "certain cryptozoological mysteries and mutilation events for bizarre, psychological warfare purposes."
For instance, he cites the 1950's case in which the US assisted the Philippine Armed Forces to develop a psychological operation against the Huks. They recreated the legend of the "terrifying Asuang Vampire," by capturing one of the Huk patrol men, puncturing his neck with two holes and draining his body of blood. Reportedly, the entire Huk squadron moved out of the area after discovering the corpse.
