Thinking aloud, I recall a report from Deborah Hatswell's British Bigfoot map.
The account comes from woodland near the town of New Marske, not far from where I live.
There are tales from around the world of diminutive bigfoot-like critters. Indonesia's Ebu-Gogo, Malaysia's Orang Pendek, and the Mexican (Mayan) Alux, among others, and they all fit the bill for a tiny bigfoot, description-wise. Interesting to note that the Flores "Hobbit" was found in the home range of the Indonesian Ebu Gogo, and may have potentially been still in existence up to 11,000 years ago, well within the time of modern humans on the island. Makes me wonder of the Ebu Gogo legends may be based in scientifically proven fact, and if so, perhaps the others were as well.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
