Not a fox then?

Not exactly conclusive evidence, is it? A scream was heard in the woods. If you've ever heard a vixen in heat then you won't forget it. If you have, then it sounds like a woman being killed. I imagine that's what a woman being killed sounds like, anyway. It is not pleasant. And the footsteps.... there are more than a few deer, badgers and hedegogs (very noisy little things) as well as foxes in Epping.

Paranormal things need investigating, but "I heard a noise in the woods at night so it must have been Dick Turpin's ghost"? Come on!!!
