Beast of Bolton' evidence found around Winter Hill

Leon Howorth has become a well known figured on social media in recent times thanks to his investigations into strange and even paranormal phenomena around the country.

His most recent adventure has taken him to the wild yet picturesque slopes of Winter Hill, where he believes he may have found the lair of “The Beast of Bolton.”

Leon said: “I uploaded my evidence online, a couple of weeks ago to various online sources.

“Up to now nobody has come up with any excuse as to what has killed this deer, apart from the obvious big cat kill!"

In the first of Leon’s Bolton themed videos, he shows viewers a dead and disembowelled deer, which he believes could have been savaged by a big cat.

The video, uploaded to YouTube on Sunday March 3 shows Leon and his companion Sean going over evidence of what he calls a “textbook big cat kill.”

In the video, Leon says that the disembowelled deer’s skull appears to have been “licked” with a “raspy tongue.”

Further along the trail they find a deer’s back leg, which they believe could have been the work of the big cat.

In a follow up video published on Sunday March 24 the intrepid beast hunters try to trace the Beast of Bolton’s lair around Winter Hill.

Fortunately, Leon is already an experienced hand, having racked up thousands of YouTube subscribers thanks to his beast tracking exploits.

Previously videos have seen him tracking supernatural and paranormal phenomena including a Werewolf, “Dogman” and “Big Foot’s Little Helpers” all over the country.
