The Essex Dogman story I heard was that there was a spate of sightings a few years ago – people say him hunched over going through their bins. It is such a cool story. Then he vanished. I first heard this on the Eerie Essex podcast. I was very interested in it as I’ve called my husband this for years. I have a keyring that says ‘Dogman Hunter’!

Legendary Essex note: There were a cluster of reports of a huge black, muscular Essex ‘Dogman’, or ‘Beast’ sighted around 1990-1994. Have you heard of any other sightings?
