Oggie

Oggie

Field Report

Oggie is a little-known cryptid from the marshlands of northern England, said to resemble a hulking, dark-furred boar with oddly elongated tusks that curve almost like horns. Local farmers whisper of livestock disappearing overnight and eerie, rooting sounds echoing through the fog before dawn. Some stories claim it moves with unnatural silence despite its size, slipping through hedgerows without so much as a rustle. Skeptics attribute Oggie tales to sightings of unusually large feral pigs or even escaped exotic livestock distorted by fear and rumor. Still, the legend persists in rural folklore, a rustic nightmare that suggests old English fields might still harbor beasts stranger and wilder than any modern farmyard expects.
