Fear of the dark

[Miyagi]

I am inclined towards this situation turning out to be a werewolf type character as has been witnessed elsewhere. BUT the stealth of the bloke seems to add creedance to the Tom Brown pupil theory.

JDs account of the walking on all fours intrigued me. I see two possibilities - as the only tracks JD observed walking on all fours where when he crossed the stream. This would suggest the TB pupil keeping low to the earth so as not to silhouette against the sky in an area of less dense vegetation. But the walking on the balls of his feet all the rest of the time and the scratching on the tent suggests the werewolf character. Either way I feel this situation deserves a friend with NV to act as stag as I do fear that as he grows more confident that his activities will escalate.

Can you imagine the Tendonitis he'll suffer from, exarcerbated by damp and cold conditions?

Walking upright like that is bad enough for Stiletto wearers (no not THAT Stiletto, I mean't the shoes...)

Walking on all fours? The sunburn on his but-tocks given the hot weather lately must be a right pain the arrse.

Surely a TB afficianado has more to do with his time...

It'd be just my luck that he is on this forum laughing at my plans, knows when I visit and when I plan to visit, and everything else we've been discussing. He could be any of you :yikes:

Like I said buddy, I favour the werewolf wannabe situation! Methinks Jonathan needs a bit of help and should not solo camp there.

If it's Werewolves he's goosed and will be howling at the moon before ye can say "I need to shave my monobrow".

Will he be able to type with them long nails?

There is no danger JD will take Silver with him.

Any family Silver within his reach was melted down and pawned long ago...

Stu has quoted me on a new Deval bushy in sterling silver. RWL will have to suffice.

With your luck...

You'll somehow manage to take a sterling silver Lancashire peeler with you (for potatoes and other veg folks), scare the hairy man wolf away, yet while slicing potatoes dolphin nose (dauphinoise) cut yerself, and ultimately get pumped and torn to shreds by a French Vampire squirrel...

But hey, stranger things happen at sea...

Whats with all this werewolf talk today, even Andy has been Pm'ing me about werewolves seen in other parts of the West Mids. I was quite happy going back there with thoughts of a human opponent, I draw the line at werewolves. And vampire squirrels too for that matter, although I'd take a couple of them over a werewolf any day.

JD, don't back out now.

We're all rooting for you and watching your 6 from a safe ethernet wi fi distance...

Great....

The missus has already treatened me with a fate worse than a fate worse than death if I come back dead. God knows what she'll do if I come back undead.

Maybe it's dog soldiers Jonathan ?

 

[Miyagi]

My dog does that every time I post.

No need for your epic fail fotos....

I held myself back umpteen posts ago from mentioning "D S" Shewie.

It's the Bushcraft version of mentioning "The Scottish Play".

Ye've gone and done it now...

 

[soulstar1963]

After seeing my ex monster in law theres nowt out there to scare me .........dark or otherwise !

 

[Bushwhacker]

Looking at the date of the footprint photo, I reckon it's a long haired, post-acid casualty from the summer solstice.
Was there a faint whiff of patchouli oil in the air?

 

[ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

Loving this thread......Ghost Stories, Beautiful Mind crackpot nuttiness....everything!!!!

I got spooked by a wild goat when camping at altitude in Snowdonia a few years back. Nearly killed the little fella!!!!

 

[Dormouse]

Err.. Rommy I'm assuming that this werewolf talk is not meant literally.

You're referring to a nutjob (to use the technical term!) who either thinks he is or wants to be, a werewolf, right?

I've wondered if something similar was behind my "Dog Bloke".

I don't wish to be alarmist or over-melodramatic, but JonathonD it might be a good idea not to investigate your site alone. The fact that your weirdo clearly wished to frighten you makes him someone to be very wary of. If you do check it out alone, prepare for the possibility of a confrontation so that if it happens you don't panic.

I've been reading up on Tom Brown on the net - there is something a bit intense/cult-like about his followers.

Yeah the Tom Brown ethos is just slightly extreme. I was thinking of taking one of these two with me, although both will be equally as useless and make more sign and noise than an entire army, and together, well, I might as well just get a megaphone and shout 'COMING TO GET YA'.

As for that werewolf.... nailed that sucker, although the local fisherman didn't seem too happy.
