foreword

Throughout history, the term “bastard”

tends to crop up when something of

perceived value is at stake. It could take

the shape of a family reputation, a vast

fortune or the path to a throne perhaps.

Yet the bastard children tend to survive

and often thrive through the denial

of their legitimacy. They tend to be

able to use the remaining resources

available to them to achieve their

individual destinies despite or in spite

of their earlier rejections. Some

notable examples in history include

Leonard DaVinci and Steve Jobs.

Because the term “bastard” tends to

evoke the sensations of an aggressive

rejection and a social ridicule, those in

polite society began to refer to these

children as “Natural” children. In more

recent times, a bastard may also come

to be known as a “Love” child. Both

these terms try to transform what

appears to be unfortunate to what is

fortunate. The terms attempt to counter

the situation yet can never truly hide

it. Despite all this however, there are

underlying truths within these names.

DIY Art, whereby these artists would

produce work within limited means.

Often unconstrained by Art theory,

education or established aesthetics they

would produce works that provided a

counterculture agent to Pop or would

champion subculture instead. They

would reject the high production values

associated with Neo Pop and work

with found materials. There is often

disarming honesty and pleasure that is

apparent in the making of these works.

This helps to set them apart from many

of the current conversations in art.

This earnestness and natural way

of working provides us all with an

alternative vision of what Pop Art is.

It retains humility and an ability to

laugh at itself and its history.

Newfies and some other giant breeds such as my Leonberger (distantly

related to the Newfie) often don’t walk like smaller dogs. They do have

a different gait. Leonbergers were originally bred to look like lions

and under certain conditions they can do so. I had many people comment

that my dog looked like a lion (Leos get a big mane when they are

mature). I am pretty sure that the photo is a Newfie and nothing more

sinister than that. I suspect that this student had never met a Newfie

in person or indeed any other giant hairy dog in her life.

Nah, I’m not convinced this is a picture of the dog. The fur on the unknown

looks very short in relation to the fur on the Newfoundland dog. The size

looks a little off as well. The unknown does look much broader than the dog.

People normally do a double take when Im walking my Newfie Betty (named

legs which is about 5ft.....soft as putty and scared of everything, she doesnt

really how big she is and doesnt understand all the fuss she gets - but she

loves the fuss nonetheless!

I have 2 Newfoundland dogs myself and many people comment on their

bark, but really they are just big soft balls of fluff that spend a lot of the day

sleeping. I <3 my Newfoundland dogs and there differences to other dogs

Most people walking in the country dont hold camaras (or phones) at the

ready in case of the split second sighting of an animal. Maybe that is why

there is little photographic evidence. Also, regular walkers see bones all the

time and think nothing of it. Also, when professional and/or highly trained

volunteers see something out of the ordinary I am tempted to believe

them. Also, when you have witnessed more than one dog become frozen

with fear, run back to you, hide behind you and even refuse to go further

along the path/woodland/moor, then maybe, just maybe there are things

out there we do not know about. Oh and just think about how hard it is to

explore every inch of any countryside for an animal who wants to stay away

from human contact.

30 years ago witnesses reported what they referred to as a beast in the

marshes of the London Borough of Hackney.

Area residents were so distraught that it sparked a full blown search by

authorities who suspected there was a bear on the loose in the area.

Now a new report has surfaced bringing back memories of the beast.

university student Helen Murray was out for a walk near the Old River

Lea when she saw a shaggy black animal that she says was bigger than

a human. At first she thought it might be dead but when it moved she

took a couple of photos with her cell phone and then ran in terror.

Here’s the report from London 24:

the beast of hackney marshes’ mystery

A strange creature has been captured on camera on Hackney Marshes –

30 years after the unexplained sighting of another mystery beast sparked

a full-scale search for a suspected bear on the loose.Terrified university

student Helen Murray said she took the snaps while out for a stroll near

dense woodland close to a path near the Old River Lea on bank holiday

Monday earlier this month.She said she was stopped in her tracks by the

unknown animal, which was larger than a person and covered in shaggy

black fur.

“I tried to stay calm as I wasn’t sure what kind of animal it was or if it was

even alive,” she said. “I had my phone ready to call 999.

Then the creature moved. Somehow I managed to take a couple of

pictures before I ran.

“I managed to get away but was scared half to death.”

Ms Murray says she didn’t contact the police because she thought they

wouldn’t believe her. A spokeswoman for Hackney police said there have

been no other reports of sightings, while experts at London Zoo said the

pictures were not clear enough for them to comment.

The photographs have revived memories of the unexplained case of a

bear reportedly sighted on the Marshes in 1981 – 50 police officers, army

marksmen, and a helicopter were drafted in to search the area, but the

55


beast was never found.

Officers at the time stressed the people who’d seen the animal were not

hoaxers, although they admitted they could have been victims of a hoax.

Two bear carcasses had previously been found nearby in the River Lea and

it remains a mystery how they got there.

I tried my best to blow up and manipulate the pictures but with little

success as you can see above. Is it a bear, dog or something more

crypto-like? The best I can do is leave it up to the readers to decide.

Thanks to London24.com for their spin on the Hackney Mystery Beast.

Why not? Griffins were sighted in Brentford, west London, in 1984.

58

What is quite strange, though, is that Brentford is obsessed with

griffins. Brentford FC’s football stadium is called Griffin Park. There is

a pub called The Griffin. Griffin symbology is situated around the town.

But, in 1984, several people did report seeing a REAL griffin in Brentford. I

t was a strange flying “thing” decribed as a winged dog or large

bir- like creature. It seemed to match the description of the classical

griffin, a flying lion with an eagle’s head.King Charles II gave his

mistress Nell Gwyn, a resident of Brentford, a griffin as a gift. One day

the unfortunate creature fell into the River Brent and was swept

away into the Thames. The griffin, assumed drowned, was actually found

alive on the banks of Brentford Eyot, where it continued to live

undisturbed. Maybe it was the griffin that was seen in 1984, still alive

after all these years.What is strange about the photo of the Beast

of Hackney Marshes in north east London is that it looks like

a grizzly bear and, back in the 1990s, there was an episode of

the TV series The Detectives called “The Beast of Hackney

Marshes” in which a grizzly bear escapes onto Hackney Marshes.

Yeah, we know, the article clearly states that this “new sighting” happened

30 years after the first sightings were allegedly reported. Still, doesn’t

mean that this more recent sighting is true; My guess is that whoever

created the hoax read an article about the old sightings, then decided to

“bring back the legend” for the 30th anniversary of the original sighting.

LOL a black dog? Sounds like something mythic is in store for the

But seriously, not sure what it is. But saying it is a black dog won’t quell

with hell hound or black dog myths.

! person with photos that show no detail other than what appears to be a

in the UK until recent years, seems more likely it is just people looking

Richard Somebody via Facebook

My first thought was Newfoundland, second was wild boar. I doubt

the UK has any Sasquatch since they are isolated by water. So unless

someone smuggled in a breeding population let’s just put that one

to rest. I actually hope it’s a Newfie, because I’ve seen the damage

boars and hogs can do to their living environs. If Crgintex is

correct about it being a Russian boar I hope someone traps

it quickly and gets it out of the area so it doesn’t reproduce.

Without a clearly defined shape, it is really impossible to tell. If the first

photo shows the creature’s hindquarter, as it appears, it would rule out a dog.

Shape of the back is wrong for a dog, and no tail. The second photo is even

worse. I can’t tell if I am looking at a shoulder or a head. I don’t know if there

are any bears or wild hogs in the UK, but my guess would be a black boar pig.

May 24th, 2012 10:47 pm

Desertdweller

the only reason I was going to say “dog” was because the front and rear seam

to be “level”. Usually the dogs that have a sloping back have been bred for

that. I’m not sure if boars slope or not, but most other herbivores that size

with hair (to my recollection)slope some. Also, the fur is consistent with most

wolf hounds.

too, they were a native species and were hunted back in the day of

of supposed bear sightings but my guess for this one would be either a

shaggy dog or indeed the previously mentioned Wild Boar.

This is an odd one because firstly, I was walking in my local woods the

other day and saw a Newfoundland dog with it’s owners, and thought

at the time that if you saw it without people, you’d think it was a

bear or something – it was huge, and hairy, and shuffled about, very

undoglike... In fact, it looked exactly the same as these photos show.

...Secondly, I went to college with that guy from Kula Shaker who says he

owns that dog.

It doesn’t look like a dog to me, newfie or otherwise. In the third picture

down particularly, the head carriage on the shoulders and the broadness of

the shoulders does not look canine. I have worked professionally with dogs,

so while I would not hold myself up as an expert, I like to think I can tell

what’s a dog and what isn’t. What it does look like to me, again particularly

in the third shot, is a human being on all fours wearing a shaggy costume.

I got it. Its an amusing picture of a thing that has been photographed in a

way to apparently conceal what it actually is!

Behold–The new and improved blobsquatch! With new smart camera

technology its getting harder and harder to create out-of-focus blurry

images of creatures that grunt in the night. Today’s audience of believers need

a clearer image to work their imaginations.The new and improved

bobsquatch image lacks the fuzzy shadow and obscure profile

that frustrated millions. Now when your friends conclude “its just a

shadow” or “its a blotch on the lens” you can say “ahh...but look,

you can see details. It could be a squatch”I propose a new catagory

to match this emerging trend in photography. Clearly with the sharper

imaging of today’s cameras “blob” should be removed from the term

blobsquatch. I propose we replace blob with “diddly” in such

cases. Now when someone takes a picture of an object at

apparent close range that still imparts no information about whether

it has a head, tail, feet, legs or any other anatomical feature of

earthly animate objects, we have a name for it–its diddly squatch.

Poor Newfies, getting blamed for all sorts of things just because they like

to run and pounce and protect ‘their’ homes and people. I have a friend

with a Newfoundland, the dog owns her not the other way around,

truthfully, the dog walks her too. She’s only 5’2’ and MIGHT go 110 if

she’s lucky, she could probably saddle and ride that beast. He’s a big baby,

but his bark is very, very scary. I can only imagine what someone might

think if they saw a dog of that size roaming around without an owner.

Bear is the first thing that comes to mind, monster would be next

on the list.

creature moved. Somehow I managed to take a couple of pictures

before I ran.

“I managed to get away but was scared half to death.”

Ms Murray says she didn’t contact the police because she thought

they wouldn’t believe her.

A spokeswoman for Hackney police said there have been no other

reports of sightings, while experts at London Zoo said the pictures

were not clear enough for them to comment.

The photographs have revived memories of the unexplained case of a

bear reportedly sighted on the Marshes in 1981 - 50 police officers,

army marksmen, and a helicopter were drafted in to search the area,

but the beast was never found.

68

Officers at the time stressed the people who’d seen the animal were

not hoaxers, although they admitted they could have been victims of

a hoax.

Two bear carcasses had previously been found nearby in the River

Lea and it remains a mystery how they got there.

Looks a bit fake to me.

There’s an update on this one! A man named Paul Winter-Hart, who

apparently was the drummer of a ‘90s pop group, and his wife Nicole,

identified the ‘beast’ as their very large Newfoundland dog, Willow, who’s

also a very large, shaggy, black furred creature who hangs about in

those woods.

(The dog, not the drummer.)

The Daily Mail’s headline for this one somehow comes accross as

charming, which is a shocker as to date the Mail have very rarely come

accross as anything other than ignorant, dishonest and paranoid!

I note the witness thinks it isn’t the dog, but it looks pretty likely to me

that it was. I guess she is either too embarresed to admit it was a dog, or

is desperate to believe it is a cryptid.

Mr R

Thanks for the pics C. McArthur, that’s what I also thought that the article

photos appeared to be the hind-end of a large dog romping through the

woods and jumping over a log. I think the idea that it’s the ‘front’ was part

of the hoax.

the ‘beast of hackney marshes’ mystery - pictures - quirky london

Bollocks there’s no beast, probably just one of the pikeys that set up

camp on the corner of the Marsh some years ago.Fun fact, the council

actually gave them that area in return for them moving from the

underpass as the area was undergoing redevelopment. Since then they

actually expanded into a much larger area on the side of the road, which

they’ve since been moved from and pushed back into their little shit hole

due to the Olympics clean up. Unfortunately they can’t get rid of them

entirely as it was part of the agreement years ago.

Terrified university student Helen Murray said she took the snaps while

out for a stroll near dense woodland close to a path near the Old River

Lea on bank holiday Monday earlier this month.

She said she was stopped in her tracks by the unknown animal, which was

larger than a person and covered in shaggy black fur.

Isn’t it’s face a little too long for a bear, probably a large dog.
