Creature of the Woods

Located near the village of Cannock Wood, Staffordshire, England, Castle Ring is an Iron Age structure known as a Hill-Fort, and which may have been constructed as far back as 500 BC. And it’s an ancient location that has had more than its fair share of encounters with strange beasts.

Beyond any shadow of a doubt whatsoever, the strangest report on record of a weird creature seen at Castle Ring is that of Pauline Charlesworth. According to Pauline, it was a bright, summery day in July 1986 that her strange encounter occurred. As she worked on Saturdays, Pauline explained, she had a regular day off work during the week, and had chosen this particular day to prepare a picnic basket, and take a trip to Castle Ring.

On arriving, she prepared herself a place to sit, stretched out a blanket on the ground and opened up her picnic basket that contained drinks, fruit and sandwiches. For more than an hour she sat and read, but then something curious happened.

It was as if, she explained, she was sitting within the confines of a vacuum and all of the surrounding noises, such as the birds whistling and the branches of the trees gently swaying, stopped. Pauline also said that “what was there wasn’t quite right.”

By that statement, she explained: “The best way I can describe it is to say it was like I wasn’t really on the Chase but it was as if I was in someone’s dream of what the Chase should look like: as if it was all a mirage; but a good one.”

Then, out of the trees, came a horrific form running toward her. It was, said Pauline, a man. The man, however, was unlike any that she had ever seen before. He had long, filthy hair, a matted beard, and a face that was more prehistoric than modern.

He was relatively short in height, perhaps no more than five feet two inches, and was clad in animal skins that extended from his waist to his knees and with a long piece of animal skin that was draped over his right shoulder. In his right hand he held what were undoubtedly the large antlers of a deer that had been fashioned into a dagger-like weapon.

Pauline said that it was difficult to ascertain who was more scared: her or the man. While she stared at him in stark terror, he eyed her curiously and in what Pauline described as a disturbing and sinister fashion. On several occasions he uttered what sounded like the words of an unknown language: “It was like he was angry and firing questions at me,” she added. But that was not all.

In the distance, Pauline could hear other voices getting closer and closer that collectively grew into a veritable crescendo. And then she found the source of the noise: through a break in the trees came perhaps thirty of forty more similarly clad people, some men and some women, all chanting in an unknown tongue.

It was clear to Pauline that some sort of ceremony was about to take place inside Castle Ring and she was right in the heart of the action. The men and women all proceeded to sit down at the edges of the Ring. One man, much taller than the rest and who she took to be the “leader of the group,” marched over to her and said something unintelligible; but that she understood by the wave of his arm meant that she should get out of the circle.

This she did and retreated with shaking legs to the tree-line. For more than fifteen minutes she sat, transfixed with terror by the sight, as this curious band of people continued to chant. Then out of the sky came the most horrific thing that Pauline had ever seen in her entire life.

It was, she recalled, a creature about four feet in height, human in shape with oily black skin, thin arms and legs and a pair of large, bat-like wings. And it had two hideous, red, glowing eyes. “It was like the devil,” recalled Pauline, perhaps with a high-degree of justification.

It slowly dropped to the ground and prowled the Ring for a minute, staring at one and all and emitting hideous shrieks. Suddenly, seven or eight of the men pounced on the creature, wrestled it to the ground, and tied it firmly with powerful ropes. It writhed and fought to get loose and tore into the flesh of the men with its claws but was finally subdued and dragged into the forest by the same group of men.

The remainder of the party followed and Pauline said that the strange atmosphere began to lift and the area returned to normality. For several minutes she stood her ground, too afraid to move, but then finally returned on still-unsteady legs to her blanket and quickly scooped up both it and her picnic basket and ran to her car.

Of course, the skeptic would say that Pauline’s experience was merely the result of a bizarre dream – or nightmare. And, indeed, perhaps that is all it really was.

More than twenty years on, however, Pauline herself is still convinced that something very strange and diabolically evil occurred on that summer day in July 1986 at the Castle Ring. And, who knows, maybe she’s right…

Maybe she was partaking of peyote that was stashed in her picnic basket :lmao: ..Then again she could have been suffering from a hallucinating dream. They do occur, more than one thinks...

Strange how the brain conjures up things that to us in our normal day to day lives we have never seen...Kind of bizarre.
