Geocache Description:

On the outskirts of Seaham on the North East coast of England stands a big white building known locally as the White House!
On a dark, dark night in late October a couple went to watch a live band there. At the end of the evening they left and turned right and walked down the lane. As they got to the end of the lane something caught their eye...


At first they thought it was a Shire horse because of its size but it was definitely not a Shire horse!
It was man-shaped, at least 7 feet tall, jet black with piercing red eyes, and it just stood there, motionless.
They looked at it in disbelief for about 15 seconds, then it let out a SCREAM like a fox before “disappearing straight down like it had fell down a well or trap door!”
According to novelist John Keel, the Mothman phenomenon this is attracted to certain things.
 
He mentioned power lines - there is a sub station approx 50 feet from the sighting
He mentioned military bases - there is a old R.A.F radar and underground bunker approx 200 feet away
He mentioned ley lines and the name Cold cropping up in ancient settlements - it just so happens that the original Cold Hesledon was an medieval village, long deserted!
  So when you seek our tiny magnetic nano cache - beware the STARE of muggles and THE MOTHMAN!
