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?

TOR - TEASER - THE DJ
DJ Emma Harry is a kooky kind of girl. Living and broadcasting
from the swamps of Barrow Moor, Emma has a deep fascination
(obsession!) with the supernatural and strange. Something happened
to Emma, back in '06. She experienced something bizarre…something
ancient and powerful. The event changed her. She knows that
the landscape hides all manner of strange phenomena, writing
about much of it in her magazine, The Freaky Times. But, will
Emma's fascination be her undoing?View 'THE DJ’ to find out more about

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.

"Yuletide
Cheer
Whether it’s a Yuletide brew or mince pie you are after,
The Green Man Inn at Wychwood is great place to be this Winter
Solstice. Many have sought refuge beneath the ancient wooden
beams and crept through the winding passageways. Pull up a
chair, to the fireside, as the story is about to begin."
"Wrap
up warm!
Bronze Age Barrow Moor is a cold, wild, windswept place. Exploring
the world can be accomplished by traversing the many underground
passageways that honeycomb the landscape, or, if you are feeling
brave, you could pass through the snowy 'Hollow Way'. Watch
out though, there are beasts about; cunning, hidden and hungry."
"The Portals
The trip to the time of Tooth and Claw is no one-way journey.
'Stones with holes' still fascinate archaeologists today.
Victorian folly or something more meaningful; ancient? Like
the stone circle on Barrow Hill, the stones wait to be invigorated
and revitalised. Perhaps some of our everyday ceremonies mimic
the actions of people, very much like us, 4000 thousand years
ago." "Surveillance
The 'Mysterious Beasts Research Group' have sent all manner
of tech to get your surveillance underway. Get out on the
moor, set up the cameras and then return to your tent to spy
on the night time world. It's the Winter Solstice, so expect
the unexpected. It'll be up to you to capture and log 'sightings',
so keep those eyes peeled! You never know, you might catch
a glimpse of The Beast of Barrow Moor.?"
"The Four Hunters
More sightings of the 'mysterious creature' are made here,
at the Four Hunters standing stones, than anywhere else on
the moor. There must be a connection between the timeless
monoliths, and the glimpses of "something monstrous"
upon the landscape. The mysterious, silent stones have watched
mankind pass this way for thousands of years. What stories
would they tell, if coaxed from their slumber?"
"The Camp
Dusk has fallen on Barrow Moor. You have an assignment to
complete, no matter how strange or bizarre. Your Editor is
expecting a great story, about the creature that stalks the
moor. It appears on the darkest, and longest of nights, to
slaughter livestock, and then vanish! A tent is flimsy protection,
against the night, so use these last few moments of dim light
to prepare for the dark hours ahead."
"The Abandoned Mine
The Barrow Moor is scarred by centuries of tin mining, with
many abandoned pit shafts posing a lethal hazard to nocturnal
explorers. It's all too easy to get lost, in the dark, and
then plummet to your doom. If you survive the fall, it's likely
you'll find yourself in the long forgotten mine tunnels, which
descend deep into the ancient landscape.”
