Real UK Werewolf Sightings: The Tanfield Beast – The Layton Files (Ep 1)

Is a werewolf stalking the woods of County Durham?

In this debut episode of The layton Files, host Leon dives into chilling eyewitness encounters with a terrifying beast said to roam the old railway lines near Tanfield, a small village in the North East of England. Reports describe a massive black dog-like creature, walking on two legs, with glowing red eyes and a roar that shakes the soul. Could it be folklore come to life or something even darker?

You’ll hear real stories from local witnesses, explore the eerie history of black dog legends in British folklore, and uncover how these ancient tales might be connected to something happening in our time.

Whether you're a cryptid believer, a sceptic, or just love a good mystery, this episode will leave you questioning what’s out there in the dark.

They walk like us. Talk like us. But they’re not us. In this episode of The Layton Files, we delve into terrifying real-life encounters with Skinwalkers, shape-shifting entities feared in Native American folklore.

From desert roads to dense forests, these firsthand accounts reveal the chilling truth: sometimes, the thing outside your window knows your name.

If you've ever felt watched in the woods… you’re not alone.

From lonely country lanes in the English countryside to remote forests in rural America, witnesses report sightings of a creature they call the Dogman, a towering, wolf-like predator that walks on two legs.

In Episode 3 of The Layton Files, we investigate chilling encounters from both the UK and USA, where farmers, hikers, and late-night drivers came face-to-face with something they can’t explain… and wish they could forget.

Are these sightings connected? Could the same beast be stalking both sides of the Atlantic?
