BEASTLY THEORIES - is a low tech, low key, low brow endeavour, hosted by author of Beasts of Britain & Beasts of the World book series - Andy McGrath, as an attempt to discuss the highs and lows of paranormal research and obsession. Although ’podcast’ in name, the ’show’ is more of an exercise in nepotism, as Andy seeks conversation with those embroiled in the subject he is chiefly interested in, and determines to avail himself (and you) of the prize of knowledge that lies inside their brawny brains.

Join me as I chat with Spanish Wildman Investigator- Ignacio Gallo Campos.
Watch here: https://youtu.be/Aoom7zwFgWU
Ignacio is the Founder of the School of Natural Activities and has extensively studied mycology, flora, and fauna in England, Ireland, Spain, India, and South Africa, and worked as a Nature Guide and environmental interpreter.
His entire life perspective changed in 2020 during a solo hike to a remote Irish lake island that was only reachable by boat.
Upon disembarking from his vessel, Ignacio was surprised by an overwhelming sensation of fear, which was exacerbated when he discovered huge teepee-like structures that were roughly woven together and dotted around the island.
Surprised by the immense size of the structures and the seeming implausibility of their having been fashioned by human hands, he admits to succumbing to the 'uninvited' feeling that surrounded him and says that he hurriedly rowed away from the island, still at a loss to explain what he had just experienced.
This led Ignacio to start researching legends about the area and he then discovered similar stories associated with the Irish wildman.
Ignacio was taken aback to discover that Spain too (as well as much of continental Europe) had many historical wildman legends, such as the Basque Country's - Basa-Jaun and Catalonia's wildman - the Simiot, whose shadowy form later stalked him in the mountains, near the French border, close to Sant Laurent de la Cerdanya.
