I was chatting about this yesterday with a few mates and it's is one conspiracy theory that I fully buy into. I'm convinced that there's at least one big cat (panther? puma?) or maybe a family of them on the South Downs that have been seen from Brighton in the east to around Swandean Hospital in the west.
Has anyone on here actually seen one or think they have? My brother who does a lot of cross-country running swears he saw a black panther near Chanctonbury Ring once. He ran the next mile backwards and as scared as he's ever been (he doesn't scare easily).
I'd love to see it, I really would but the nearest I've got to cryptozoology (study of hidden or mythical animals - it's a fantastic word and I never get a chance to use it) is seeing wild wallabies near Leonardslee Gardens in Beeding. Not quite the same.
And as an aside - hats off to Bevendean for getting their name linked to it. Any NSCers from that area are missing a trick with an excellent username - 'The Beast of Bevendean'.
