For centuries, the people of Wales (Great Britain) have told tales about a creature called Bwbach, which looks like a child, from head to toe with hair, sometimes greenish hair.
In fairy tales, this creature mainly manifests itself as a Slavic brownie, that is, he secretly lives in the yard or in a house among people, helping with the housework, and in return he is left with a bowl of milk, cream or oatmeal.
At the same time, Bubach really does not like people who violate long established traditions, as well as for some reason convinced teetotalers who dislike even beer.
Bubach is such an old and forgotten folklore creature that now even the Welsh themselves hardly know him and he no longer occurs in modern children's fairy tales. But, suddenly, British researchers of the Yeti regularly encounter a creature similar in description, collecting eyewitness stories.
“I have many reports of meeting such little hairy men in the woods of Devonshire,” says British monster hunter Jonathan Downs.
Downs said they were especially seen in the Churston Woods, near the resort town of Torbay, Devon. The peak of sightings came here in the summer of 1996, when in just two weeks 15 people said that they saw a short, tailless and humanoid creature covered with greenish fur and having a flat olive-green face.
Sometimes this creature just walked through the forest, and sometimes ran along the branches of trees. Maybe it was a monkey that escaped from a zoo or someone's private home, but only there were no reports of escaped monkeys, and the creature was definitely tailless and much more human-like in descriptions than monkeys or macaques.
Briton Jason Hill talked about how his father's friend met this little green man, and then his friend too.

“In the 1950s, my father lived in a town near Cannock Chase, Staffordshire (one of the most active anomalous areas in the UK). In 1959 my father once came to visit his friend and at some point the friend's mother suddenly called him from the lower floor, shouting “Look! An article about your little green man in the newspaper! “.
When my father's friend came down and took this newspaper, there was a note about a little girl from the neighboring Pye Green district who ran to her house in tears and told her mother that she was frightened by the little green man.
My dad asked a friend what was the meaning of the words "your little green man", which his mother used to say, and then his friend, embarrassed, told him a story that happened a year earlier, in the summer of 1958. On that day, he played cricket after work, and then drove home by car. When he was driving along the road in the Cannock Chase area, suddenly something low quickly crossed the road in front of him, stopped for a moment, and then quickly disappeared into the forest.
My father's friend slowed down in amazement, because he could see this creature well. It was a small green and hairy man.
When I first heard these stories from my father, I was 9 or 10 years old then and I thought it was cool. But then I grew up and began to believe that all such stories are just fairy tales for children. But once I raised this topic in a conversation with my friend and he suddenly began to tell that he also saw this creature.
It happened as he was driving past the old German cemetery at Cannock Chase. As he drove under the overhanging tree branches, something fell on the trunk of his car with a light bang. A friend decided it was a branch that fell, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, for a couple of moments something small and hairy flashed. The creature's appearance reminded him of drawings of forest spirits."
In November 2008, a very strange story emerged from Wanted, a suburban area of London. According to the testimony of witnesses, the stunted creature was seen wandering in the Epping Forest. This wooded area stood here in the 12th century and was called the Royal Forest of Henry III.
For the first time, the creature was seen here by 18-year-old Michael Kent, who went here on a fishing trip with his brother and father. In the area of the ponds, he heard a rustle behind his back, and when he turned around, he saw how something hairy and no more than a meter tall was running briskly on two legs into the thicket.
The next eyewitness was Irene Dainty, who almost head-on collided with the creature on the Woodford Bridge.
“I left the house and turned the corner, as I faced this hairy creature out of nowhere. I really never want to see him again. It was just over a meter tall and had very large legs. The eyes on the face were like those of an animal.
It easily jumped over the fence and headed towards the Three Jolly Wheelers pub. And I was so scared that I immediately went to my neighbor and told her about what I saw. She certainly did not believe me and said that I must have drank too much. But I told her that I didn't drink at all, and the time was only 3 pm, early even for a beer in the pub."
Then there were several more similar reports and eventually the police began to believe that people saw the animal escaped from a private zoo. However, this time there were no reports of escaped animals, and a few days later this creature from the area disappeared as unexpectedly as it had appeared.
