British Cryptids: Stag Men
"For at least five hundred years there have been reports of Stag Men who run wild with herds of British deer. The stories share a few common elements. Only one Stag Man is seen within a single herd; he walks upright on hind legs; his body is furry and his antlers are at least as large as those of the ordinary stags in the herd. Is this creature mythical or could it be a very real, unknown animal that has inhabited our woodlands and forests for as long as man has walked on these islands?"
Produced in 1974, the British Cryptids films were presumably destined to be sold to a UK broadcaster - either BBC or ITV - but they seem to only have been shown at schools and ended up languishing in public libraries.
The video files - originally recovered from the Internet Archive - were fragmentary, jumbled up and missing picture in places. We have pieced together the clips as best we can and leave it to the viewer to imagine what may be missing.
Amongst the titles we were able to acquire are: ’The Souter Sea Wolf’, ‘The Cumbrian Dregpike’, ‘Yorkshire Yeti’, ‘Stag Men’, 'The Woodwose of Cannock Chase', ‘The Hereford Twiggywitch’, 'The Ramflaggie of Argyll' and 'The Moon Man', but the catalogue numbers suggest there could be more.
