Dragon Hunter to visit Blackpool
Tales of dragons and high strangeness will be the theme for a talk in Blackpool this month. Monster Hunter Richard Freeman is making a return visit to town to tell of the strangest cases he has come across.
Richard Freeman is the Zoological Director of the Centre for Fortean Zoology. He is a cryptozoologist, author and explorer, who for over a quarter of a century has travelled the globe investigating reports of unknown creatures.
However, Richard also has a great interest in and some personal experiences with things that that cannot be explained in normal terms, that are more than strange and that fall into the category of High Strangeness. These are the cases Richard will be discussing – bizarre, inexplicable happenings that are nonetheless reported by rational people who come across them in their everyday lives.

Richard will tell of a multi witness dragon sighting from 2024 in England. Yes, you read that right. Modern day dragons. In England. He will also discuss some other totally weird reports – The ghost of a tree that haunted a former Doctor Who, The exorcism of Loch Ness, The Mince Pie Martians and more….
