A mum was spooked out when her dogs alerted her to the outline of a furry creature many believe is BIGFOOT while strolling through a 'haunted' forest.
Maxine Caulfield said her mutts used their 'sixth sense' to seek out the creepy figure among the trees as they walked through Slieveanorra in County Antrim, Northern Ireland - rumoured to be haunted by a fatal plane crash.
Spooky tales have been told about Slieveanorra since October 1942, when a US Air Force B17 Flying Fortress bomber crashed into a mountain there, killing eight of the ten people on board.
But after showing others photos she'd taken of the suspicious shadow, people began likening its face to Bigfoot, a hairy creature said to inhabit forests in American folklore, rather than the ghost of a plane passenger.
Mum-of-one Maxine, 49, said: "I haven't got a clue what it is but when I saw it, it really freaked me out. It's not like anything I've ever seen before.
"The dogs are normally full of energy and never stop running but when we went through that part of the forest they just stopped still and stared in the same direction.
"It was as if they knew something was there. I couldn't see anything at the time but when I got home and showed people the pictures it was spooky.
"People were pointing out its face and saying it was Bigfoot. I've always been pretty open-minded about the paranormal. I don't disbelieve, and this has really reinforced my view that there could be something out there.
"The dogs were playing away in the snow but my German Shepherd's ears pricked up when she went through this section. It wasn't normal.
"When you zoom in it really does look the body of a beast. Along with all the other history and rumours about the place, it really makes you think."
Maxine has also discovered a mysterious wooden cross planted in the forest with the date 31/03/76 inscribed on it.
She walks her dogs - German Shepherd, Roxy, and miniature schnauzer, Charlie - weekly through the forest, around seven miles from her home in Cloughmills.
