The Orford Wild Man...

I received an email a few days from someone who had read my book Man Monkey: In Search of the British Bigfoot, and asked when the earliest account of a wild-man or Bigfoot-style entity was reported in Britain.
That's actually a good question. It's doubtful we'll ever know the real answer, but maybe this 800-year-old case comes close...

Interesting story, Nick. I'm reminded that Orford is generally a very strange area, and let's not forget its proximity to Rendlesham Forest, and the UK's own Roswell-type UFO event that's so widely reported to have happened there. I think the whole area has been steeped in "weirdness" for a very long time.

There's also the Shug-Monkey reports from the vicinity, as well as various big cats and phantom black dogs too.
