A terrified walker claims to have spotted the British Bigfoot after being confronted by an 8ft tall 'ape-like creature' in Tunbridge Wells.

Has bigfoot been spotted in Tunbridge Wells?

The beast, nicknamed the 'Kentish Apeman', was spotted recently on the town's famous 200-acre common amid a spate of sightings over the past six months.

A man said he was confronted by the creature, which had 'red demonic eyes and was covered in hair', three weeks ago as he was walking home.

He said the beast roared at him in exactly the same spot it was apparently first seen more than 70 years ago, before he ran away.

An article detailing the sightings appeared on the Tunbridge Wells People forum earlier this week, asking local residents if they has seen the elusive sasquatch.

'One of the strangest stories to emerge about Tunbridge Wells this week is the claims that a British Bigfoot has been spotted in woodland near the town,' it says.

'The Kentish Apeman has recently been spotted on Tunbridge Wells Common - the exact spot where it was also apparently seen 70 years ago.

'The beast is reportedly eight-foot tall, has red demonic eyes and is covered in hair.'

A local painter and decorator, named Graham S, claims he was told by an elderly client about a sighting in 1942.

'One particular day she went to the common with her husband and was sitting on a bench when they became aware of a shuffling noise behind them,' he explained.

'Upon turning around both her husband and herself saw what she described as a tall, hairy ape like creature with eyes that were burning a reddish colour and it was moving towards them at a slow pace.'

He added: 'They observed this creature for some time until they became afraid and they both fled - terrified.

'She went on to say that they told the police and members of their family, thinking that a gorilla had escaped from a zoo, but were laughed at and were not believed.'
