Ive actually met John McGowan and Ive seen some pretty interesting photos of foot prints and scat. The problem is I think hes a bit of a technophobe as he uses a film camera (On itsa own doesn't mean much) and the only web presence is what others have put online. As for seaking fame John McGowan has quite the opposite attitude in my opinion and seemed more concerned with finding proof. He told me of many sightings hes had in Dorset and around the New forest.
John is a decent bloke, and why there are people trying to cash in on the big cats, nessies and bigfoots, he certainly isnt one of them
Perhaps it's the way the footage has been edited but the stuff i've seen with John McGowan in he talks about he's sightings as if it happens everyday.
If he sees the cats & there tracks ect regularly why hasn't he got any footage or pics.
The hair samples that he had tested were as said in a previous post Sika Deer,Red Deer,Dog and Pig.
Also he set up cameras at nature reserves but not his so called regular sites.
If he had seen them it woundn't be that hard to get concrete evidence.
I genuinely hope they exist but with out evidence we have nothing to go on
