SOMETHING
IS STALKING THE PEOPLE OF THE MOOR.
The Bloodmoon has risen. Something is stirring, something feral,
ancient and terrible. It began many years ago, with the discovery
of the livestock, ripped to shreds, torn apart and devoured.
The beast now has a taste for blood...our blood...there has
been a murder - a vicious, brutal killing -
out there on the mist shrouded moorland. A lone hiker, exploring
our ancient land, has been discovered... mutilated and bloody.
The beast struck at some point just after dusk,
ripping out the throat. Our land was once the hunting ground
for many vicious carnivores, but they have long since disappeared,
hunted into extinction. Could those beasts have returned, to
seek their revenge? Where or when have these
monstrous creatures come from?
SOLVE
THE MYSTERY OF THE MOORLAND BEASTS.
Spend a night on the mysterious moor, with only the canvas of
your tent as protection. Listen out for the sounds,
look out for the tell tale signs, or flee in fear when the pack
closes in. You are a bold journalist, always looking for the
next 'big story'. How far would you go to grab the front page?
Would you risk your life, for a news story? If so, the ancient
rock formation known as Bracken Tor awaits your arrival.
The stony outcrop dominates the moor, and boasts several unnerving
stories; from unexplainable glowing lights, to this latest horrifying
incident. Are some places cursed? Or, are they haunted by those
who went before?
THE
PAST HOLDS THE KEY.
Thrown into the ancient past of the Bronze Age people,
you will find the true origins of the nightmare. Those primitive
people lived in fear of the mighty beasts, making sacrifices
to protect themselves from the packs, which hide in the thick
pine forests and wind swept tundra. They practised long forgotten
ceremonies, and studied the natural world, in an attempt
to understand and conquer their foe. For it is only through
understanding the 'old ways' that you will survive the
night. You will have to decide what is worse...the
beasts that lurk in the darkness, or the terrifying acts performed
by our ancient ancestors.

MYSTERIOUS BEASTS RESEARCH GROUP
For
decades now, the Mysterious Beasts Research Group has
collated, and published, sightings and theories exploring
the phenomena of unexplained, and dangerous, animals wandering
our countryside.
We
are zoologists, naturalists, farmers and scientists.
Our
mission is to increase public awareness of these beasts,
following several highly publicised deaths. Newspapers
claim the deaths are 'murder', and are demanding the immediate
investigation and extermination of any creatures found,
hiding in our countryside. Please help us uncover the
truth. What are these creatures? Where do they come from?

Are they Paranormal? Recent sightings suggest there is
far more to these creatures than previously thought. Cases
of 'vanishing beasts' are becoming more and more widespread,
suggesting an almost supernatural explanation. Could we
really be seeing beasts from another time or another place?
One thing is for sure, our land is being stalked by creatures
beyond our imagination. Go search the internet, look through
your local newspaper, or just ask those who spend their
working hours out in the fields. There you will find proof.
Something is attacking our livestock, our homes, our families,
and we know nothing about them. That could all be about
to change.
