I think this guy can actually be a bit menacing even..
Maybe it was just some demon or something, i dunno...
Yer, get a professional in to look at what's going on - some sort of expert in the field
OMG, you know what else it reminds me of?? That Springheeled Jack tale - that murderer in and around southern England, he was described as being more than 2 metres tall, wearing a black cloak, having eyes like balls of fire and having springs in his boots
Don't worry, he hasn't been seen since 1907 - UNTIL NOW that is..

The surrounding land, the garden etc that this entity has supposedly told her he has 'friends' in who will hurt her will need doing as well. For some reason I'm kinda getting the *feeling* that the rear left corner (facing the garden area) may be of interest. Who knows, maybe I had something

TextEly - The ancient city of Ely occupies the largest island in the Fens. In the 7th century, St. Ethelreda founded a religious community on its hill top site. Rich in folk history, Ely was the stronghold of Hereward the Wake, who used the island to stage the final Anglo Saxon resistance against the Norman invasion.
TextThe Dark Ages saw a halt to reclamation, however by the early 17th century, with economic recovery, the attention of speculators turned to draining the peat fens in the south and remaining undrained silt fens further north. Under the guidance of the 4th Earl of Bedford, the speculators or adventurers started work on the systematic draining of the Fens. Experienced engineers were commissioned, such as the dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden, who undertook the greatest scheme, constructing the Old and New Bedford Rivers between Earith and Denver.
TextLocal opposition was considerable as the systematic drainage of the land threatened the traditional fishing and wildfowling rights of the Fen dwellers. Their fierce resistance and destruction of the drainage work earned them the name "Fen Tigers".
TextThe first Civil War was fought from 1642 to 1646, the major event that took place in the Fens during this war was the breaking of the Dykes by order of Parliament. The second Civil War was fought from 1648 to 1649, with the Fens playing a larger part. In the Battle of Dunbar, Scotland in 1652 and naval battles against the Dutch fleet in 1653, England captured many Scottish Soldiers and Dutch sailors. Some of these prisoners were sent to work in reclaiming the Fens.
