Firstly i wasnt sure if to post this here in the water monster section? but as its water related here goes.
Last week whilst browsing Facebook, looking at a UFO group that i follow, there was mention of the Perch man. So as you do i had to look up the story and was very surprised to find that this 'being' was local to me! YAY!!
However, this was the first time i have ever heard of him, fair enough the story relates back to the 80's and i have only lived around here for about 17yrs or so but nobody i know has ever heard of this local legend either? By all accounts, old Perchy used to hang out at some ponds known locally as Deep Pit in Hindley near Wigan, (about 1 mile from my home) from what i can gather he stands upright,was green in colour and had gills, and he would chase people off if they were on his territory.
In the story there was mention of some other areas where he could/would frequent and these actually exist too - i know ALL these areas very well as i have always walked them with the dog(s) unfortunately, ive never seen the Perch man, From now on though i will be exploring the area more thoroughly and i will make sure i post any findings on here (not likely so dont hold your breath)
