OUR MISSION

Dean Alan - Founder of THM

The Hawkthorne Investigation Archive exists to document and investigate the growing number of disappearances, sightings, and unexplained incidents connected to Hawkthorne Wood and the entity known as "The Borrowed One".

 

Through recovered footage, witness testimony and independent investigation we aim to preserve evidence of these cases as best we can and support affected families leading us to uncover the truth behind the ongoing Hawkthorne incidents before more people vanish without explanation.

Frankie Vale - Investigative Reporter

Frankie Vale is an independent investigative journalist specializing in folklore, urban legends, unexplained disappearances and the stories most people would rather dismiss. But for over a decade he has travelled across the UK documenting the local stories of this creature which has almost identical sightings in every location leading us to believe we may have been wrong about it being just one creature.

 

Frankie blew up online after breaking the first modern case of this creature that has been seemingly swept under the rug by higher powers at be. He has now (working with our researchers) dated back cases almost 200 years ago.

 

He is now fully backed and endorsed by The Hawkthorne Missing
