While restoration continues on 'The Woodwose of Cannock Chase', we present here a special extended restoration of The Hereford Twiggywitch. Included in the additional material is a short but illuminating clip of the Blackthorn Morris performing 'The Twiggywitch'.
"Were it not for the physical evidence left behind, the Twiggywitch would belong very firmly in the supernatural realm of fairies, elves and goblins. But written accounts dating from as far back as the 1700’s invariably describe a very real, though rarely seen, living creature."
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.
Sadly, the video files recovered from the Internet Archive (which no longer seem to be online) were of poor quality and incomplete. The fragments are presented here as we found them. We leave it to the viewer to imagine what may be missing.
Amongst the titles we were able to acquire are: ‘Yorkshire Yeti’, ‘Hereford Twiggywitch’, ‘Stag Men’, ’Souter Sea Wolf’ and ‘The Woodwose of Cannock Chase’, but the catalogue numbers on each film suggest that there could be many more.
