I'm not sure if this warrants a IHTM, but there appears to be a man who lives in the woods near to where I live in Lincolnshire. I often see him from a distance when I'm walking the dog and he's always reading a book. He has made a shelter from the roots of a tree which has fallen to its side, and is always there when I see him, which has been often over the last eight or nine months, and even during the really cold snap we had recently. I've no idea what he eats or whether he moves (although he must at some point during the day), but I've found another shelter made from earth and branches within a distance of half a mile with a dead fire and leaves (possibly sweetcorn leaves).
My dog has given up barking at the man lurking, accepting him as part of the landscape. I've said hello a couple of times, before I even knew he was there I've probably urinated somewhere in his vicinity, but I'm a bit apprehensive in asking him what he's doing there, I get the feeling he just wants to be left alone.
The woods themselves are pretty quiet, and I can walk the dog at any time of the day without seeing another soul as it is a short drive to get there and most people don't want to bump half a mile along a track to do so.
Like I say, not sure if it's an IHTM, but I felt it was suitably fortean enough to warrant a posting as it puzzles me greatly.
