By the 1700s the British fox
was on the verge of extinction and about to follow the bear and wolf having been
hunted for sport for centuries.
The answer was to import
thousands of foxes per year for sport. But foxes kept dying out so jackals were
tried. Some were caught, some escaped. Even wolves and coyote were released for
hunting and "country folk" were very far from "happy" -some
even threatening local hunts -one intending to release a wolf for a hunt- with
legal and other consequences.
The summation of over 40
years research by the noted naturalist and former UK police forces exotic
wildlife consultant reveals the damnable lie of "pest control"
hunting but also reveals the cruelty the animals were subject to and how
private menageries as well as travelling shows.
Private menageries, or single
exotic "pets" as well as travelling shows helped provide the British
and Irish countryside with some incredible events such as the 1905
"vampiric" sheep killer of Badminton, the mystery hounds of Cavan and
Coyotes of Epping Forest.
The Girt Dog of Ennerdale is
also dealt with in detail -was it a tiger? A Tasmania Thylacine? This book gives the
exact facts and details for the first time.
Up-dated 2013 edition
includes a section on sarcoptic mange in foxes and treatment plus a list of
wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centres in the UK.

mysteries in general.
The secret history of
gorillas in the UK

Hominology. Sasquatch and
Bigfoot -is there evidence for their existence?
No sitting on the fence here -the Patterson-Gimlin film is looked at as
well as other evidence. The Author's
conclusions? You might be surprised.
Giant snakes. Amazons. The
Giant serpent of Carthage.
The Girt Dog of Ennerdale -another big cult 'creature' amongst paranormal and
cryptozoological circles. The Beast of Gevaudan -what was it and were there
really descendents of the creature in the 19th century -one of which was
actually brought to London?
Believe it or not more than one incident of
historical crocodiles cases in the UK.
In fact, far more than even the Author had thought .
And, after more than a
century of claims by 'researchers' that it no longer exists: The Silent City of
Alaska and
the near legendary 'lost' photograph taken of it.
This and much more. Updated with extra pages
and photographs.

The terror and mystery
created by “Jack The Ripper” has been the subject of countless books, magazine
articles as well as movies and TV documentaries. Ask anyone if they have ever
heard of Jack The Ripper and it is doubtful anyone would respond with a “no
idea.”
By that same token, ask
people who “Spring-heeled Jack” was and you would be lucky to find anyone who
had ever heard of him.
Spring-heeled Jack was the
subject (loosely) of a film The Curse of the Wraydons (1946) and Dominic
Keating also appeared as Spring Heeled Jack in the 2010 film Sherlock Holmes by
The Asylum film company. The character has also featured in both American and
British comic books and a number of books, for both children and adults.
But the fact that the
Springald held the country –not just London–
in a grip of terror much longer that the Ripper did is all but forgotten except
for some half-truths and fanciful theories.
Now be prepared to read the
full story of Spring Heeled Jack
I've enjoyed reading all of these books now, Terry. Thanks. It is just like hearing you telling me the story, you've written them with your voice ! The Nameless Thing of Berkley Square is still my favourite - though the Springheeled Jack 'Report' is also very interesting as I think you have hit the right conclusion to that on going mystery.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
Well, being THE unquestionable expert on everything how could I get it wrong?? Seriously: glad you enjoyed the books. Tried looking at Japanese mysteries but everything is in....JAPANESE -what's that about??? Hang on...I can hear...faint...almost a dragging like sound...coming up the stairs....I DONT HAVE STAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's just your imagination... you must have ready 'Daddy' from the Phantom Detective collection of short stories... it'll give you nightmares...
