It has since been brought to my attention that the photo in my last post is not the Beast of Doncaster but an American actor called Harry Henderson, whom I’ve never heard of. Look, I’m big enough to admit when I’ve been pranked. Thanks a lot, Juan Kerr, I hope you’re proud. Juan Idiot, more like.

Huge news tonight. If verified, it changes everything. I’ve been emailed by a Spanish gentleman named Juan Kerr - he was on holiday in Doncaster with his family when the Beast approached their campsite and this extraordinary photo was taken.
I can’t stop shaking. My life’s work totally vindicated.

BEAST FACTS
The Beast is known to toy with its prey, sometimes waiting days to devour them. In rare instances people have managed to escape, like Archibald Gilbert in 1862, described as a chimney-sweep and fantasist (I believe this is an old Victorian term for someone who enjoys fantasy novels).

Great response from the people of Finningley to my pop-up Beast Awareness stall by the duck pond (except for the mad woman who kept calling me ‘Nobby’ and said I was a knicker-stealer - not true).
I usually give out Hobnobs with every pamphlet but sadly the ducks attacked me on arrival, apologies.

The Beast was in my garden tonight. Looked through my kitchen window - eyeing up the risotto I was making. Followed instructions on your website (curled up in a ball, waited 1 hour) and he was gone. Risotto ruined however.

Anyone of sound mind would discount that last post - Kennedy Parks (real name Craig Waddilove) is a pox on the Beast community, a gobby youth shouting down a camera lens with ridiculous theories (the Beast is female? Four witnesses have attested to the size of its dingle!) and he should be IGNORED.

BEAST HISTORY
While November 22nd 1963 is infamous for being the day JFK was assassinated by a grassy knoll, it is also the day four children vanished from a caravan park in Sprotbrough. They were never found, until three days later when they were found, claiming ‘a monster’ had snatched them.

What a shambles. Shame on you, Radio Auckley 109.6 and your witless afternoon host (he is also distractingly boss-eyed). I was given all of 30 seconds’ air-time before being bumped for breaking news on some ten-a-penny multi-vehicle pile-up. They can silence me, but the Beast is still out there.

I will be appearing on Radio Auckley 109.6 at 2pm to discuss the Beast and why the efforts of Society members like me is so important in protecting our citizens. I’ve asked whether I can name names of council officials who have hindered my work - they say ‘absolutely not.’ Whose side are they on?

BEAST FACTS
When it is not preying on the residents of Doncaster, the Beast’s diet is said to consist of rats, fish, foxes, even sometimes horses and cows. A spate of sightings in November 2005 behind McDonald’s near the big Asda also suggest it has a taste for McNuggets and/or cardboard packaging.

BEAST HISTORY
The first reliable sighting came in 1503, when the body of a peasant was found in dense woodland in what is now Barnby Dun. He had been beaten and robbed. A local, known as Marauding Joe for reasons unknown, claimed a ‘furred monstrosity’ descended from the hills to kill the poor man.

BEAST FACTS
Although witnesses have described the Beast in various ways (tall and thin, short and chubby, bigger than a house, smaller than a cat, snake-like, even a gaseous cloud) one thing is beyond doubt: it has been responsible for over 17 disappearances in the Doncaster area this year alone.
