"In Scottish folklore there are many stories of strange creatures that inhabit the lands once known to the Romans as Caledonia. Water-horses swim in the lochs and the glens are home to bogles and stagmen. But it is the Western Highlands where there have been frequent encounters with perhaps the most mysterious—certainly the most frightening creature of them all..."
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.
