Rivington Dogman

It was summer time back in 2014/2015 - I cant be 100% on the year, but it must have been the height of summer as the days were at their longest. The paranormal group had taken members for an open air invest up to the castle ruins - around the ruins, nothing at all was felt or noted so the group set off to walk back through the wooded pathways, turning left as they left the entry/exit to the ruins. Amongst the group, there were two on mobility scooters (who kept getting them stuck in the muddy puddles so requiring the more abled of the group to lift/push/pull them out) and one with enough mobility issues that she would need to walk pretty slowly along the pathways. There were around 10 people in all yet only 2 people (who were way behind everyone else) visually witnessed this creature and a third (who had come back to make sure the two left behind were ok) sensed it but couldn't see anything. As the latter two walked up along the pathway after the house on the corner there, they became aware of someone behind them. Thinking it was a random dog a little way off from it's owner, they moved over and looked behind them to watch them pass and acknowledge the walker. However what was behind them was not your standard dog. It stood at least 6 feet (if not more) high on its back legs, it's coat was quite long and jet black and it had deep red eyes that seemed to glow, sometimes red sometimes a deep orangey colour. The lady with the mobility problems (she was one of the paranormal group leaders and the lady she was walking with was learning the ropes sort of thing so both were very used to being around odd and weird energies and had experienced many 'happenings' over the years), sorry I am trying to give you as much detail as possible - the lady with the mobility issues could hear it panting/breathing as it darted between the trees watching them. When on all fours it was long and still very tall (much bigger than a very well bred german shepherd) and there was a sensation of it stalking them until they were out of the tree cover and back onto the open grassland. At that point, it either ran off or faded away because no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find it amongst the backdrop of trees. The person that came to see if they were managing to walk their way back, said as he entered the cover of the trees how odd the atmosphere felt there at that time he knew nothing of the experience of the two ladies.

Throughout that walk, the two on the mobility scooters and the group leader walking with them, noticed some smaller (around the 2ft tall mark) beings/animals/shadow creatures that darted across their path and among the trees besides them.
