A1075 (Thetford, 1986)

This sighting comes from an unnamed witness who saw a strange hominid while driving along the A1075 between Thetford and East Wretham. This strange, shaggy haired creature was mistakenly thought by the witness to be an escaped zoo animal, but as you will see from their description, this was anything but. 

   The witness was driving home from the direction of Watton, towards Thetford along the A1075, when they saw something odd and hairy. Whatever it was was walking on all fours and the witnesses likened it to something like a massive dog. It had greyish white hair, small ears, a face with a sort of snout, and big eyes. The witness drove past the mysterious creature to get a better look, at which it stood up on its' legs, erect and bipedal like a man. The witness then claims it was human-like in shape and was around seven foot tall. Scared, the witness drove away quickly. When they returned to the spot a few days later, there were drag marks in the ground as if something had been pulled along. What was this? Had the creature been eating at the time? Had it dragged its' prey away when it had been disturbed? 

  This sighting is different in that it was described as having a snout. Could this have been a visual anomoly that the witness had seen? Could this creature be another British Bigfoot? Nearby Thetford Forest has had other reports of Bigfoot activity, so this sighting is entirely plausible.

   In December 2007, twenty-one years after this sighting, another witness saw a similar creature in the same general area. They described it as having grey hair with dark black patches.
