One of the weirder articles I've written, it starts like this...
Well, after a number of articles from me on the menacing Men in
Black, ominous Black Eyed Children, UFO conspiracies, and diabolical
monsters, it’s time for a bit of light relief. And, no, the title of
this article is not a joke! Nor is it April 1st! The United Kingdom is
indeed home to “giant rabbits.” At least, it is in a very strange and
surreal fashion. As you read on, you’ll see why. And how. I’ll begin
with a story from a good mate of mine, Jon Downes. He’s the director of
the UK-based Center for Fortean Zoology,
a full-time group dedicated to the study of unknown animals. We’re
talking about Bigfoot. About Nessie. About the Chupacabra. And, yes,
about those “giant rabbits” too.
Jon’s story dates from the late 1970s, when he was valiantly hanging
onto the final months of his teens. From a friend named Mike, Jon
received a startling story, one which was focused on an area near to
where Jon lived at the time: Powderham Woods,
located in the English county of Devon. It was while walking through
the woods that Mike encountered something remarkable. In Jon’s own
words: “Mike had been hunting for chestnuts when he was startled to see
what looked like a rabbit, was shaped like a rabbit, and even hopped
like a rabbit – it just happened to have been about three feet tall! I
sat back slightly dazed. Mike was one of the most reliable witnesses
that I have ever had the honor to interview, and he had just told me a
spiel of utterly bizarre nonsense. It just didn’t make sense.”
