A chilling encounter with an unseen creature in Oxfordshire, England has left a local man, Nick Hayes, with more questions than answers. In a recent interview with Deborah Hatswell of BBR Investigations, Nick recounts his harrowing experience from around 15 years ago, which he describes as a close encounter with a being that seemed to be both stalking and hunting him.
Nick was on his way to a recording studio when he decided to take a shortcut through the Live Valley, a familiar area that he had walked through many times before. However, on this particular day, he began to hear strange noises that he couldn't quite place. At first, he thought it might be the acoustics of the valley, but as he continued to hear the sounds, he realized that something was following him.
As Nick's fear began to grow, he heard a low, guttural growl that he describes as sounding like a "monster." He then heard more footsteps and growling, and realized that the creature was in front of him on a parallel track. Unsure of what to do, Nick made the decision to turn around and run back the way he had come.
In her interview with Nick, Deborah notes that the area where the encounter took place is significant, as there have been numerous reports of Dogman sightings in the region. She also points out that the way the creature moved through the brush and kept up with Nick, even as he was half-jogging and jumping in the air to try and hear its footsteps, suggests that it was not a human who was following him.
Nick himself is not a tech-savvy person, and the only recording he has of the encounter is a phone interview with Deborah. However, the raw emotion and fear in his voice are palpable as he recounts his experience. He admits that he still gets chills when he thinks about what happened that day, and it's clear that the encounter has stayed with him all these years later.
I encourage our readers to watch the full interview and draw their own conclusions about what Nick experienced that day in the Live Valley. Whether you believe in Dogmen or other unseen creatures, there's no denying that Nick's story is a chilling and unsettling one.
