Anyhoo, great fun but have you ever seen a beastie out there in the rolling hills? Up from the depths?

No, but if you viewed a bear or other large animal standing and making movements you could think it's some kind of sasquatch, large monster, etc.

BTW I agree that any large animals can cause confusion. Can take a little while to click that an animal ahead on the trail/in the woods is, for example, a bear and not a dog.

Convinced I saw a big cat of some sort in Sussex…..several years ago (30ish) a fairly long way from any roads (between Scaynes Hill and Sheffield Park). Before the days of camera phones. Jet black, definitely cat-shaped but the size of something like a labrador.
My missus saw one - as did her friend she was visiting - from the window of a bedroom at Gatwick Hospital, Huge black cat walking through the long grass in the field across the road, so they say.

Jeremy Wade of River Monsters fame concluded that the most plausible explanation for the loch Ness "sightings" were occasional sightings of Greenland Sharks which are pretty big and could definitely end up in Loch Ness

When I was a kid we had big cats all over the south downs. We even took the kids from Easthill and Hangleton over to see them.

Then they built the Southdown tunnel with all those hidden doors and the offshore windfarm collecting data to download to those secret rooms under the Southwick tunnel and there's been no big cats spotted for years.

People need to do their own research ???

I was convinced I saw this stalking alongside Neville Recreation ground in Lewes around 2008 as I drove past on a very dark and foggy night:


There were no people about, the beast was exactly as you say, Labrador size and completely cat shaped but beige like a Mountain Lion, not black like a panther.

Big cats in the wild theories are very different to Loch Ness and Big Foot conspiracy theories though. There is plenty of strong evidence for big cats living wild in the UK and potentially breeding with animals set free by irresponsible owners in the 70s due to law changes. These animals cover enormous territories in the wild and if they don’t want to have any contact with humanity, can easily find places to hide out permanently.

Surely if that was true, there would be widespread reports of livestock being killed & eaten. We soon hear of dogs attacking sheep.

Are you suggesting....that all these tales of Big Cats....in the wild are......a load of old bollocks?

Crikey.

I think you may have something, there. Let me ponder it a while......

Has anyone else fallen down the incredible aliens / wormholes / killer creatures rabbit hole that is Skinwalker Ranch?

Basically an old ranch in Utah where strange things have apparently happened for centuries. Now filled with blokes with PhD after their names firing rockets with GPS trackers on and digging in to a macer to prove it has a space ship / worm hole in it.

But there have always been cattle mutilations and they took samples of the teeth marks from the latest one that an actual forensic biologist reckoned could only be from a Dire Wolf - which has been supposedly extinct for a very long time.

It’s the only programme to come close to making me believe some of this stuff. UAPs captured on camera, inexplicable instrument readings and the military taking an unhealthy interest in it all. If it is a hoax it’s a bloody good one.
