| | | Big Cat Sighting
One of my staff members saw a big cat close to his home in Rookhope, Weardale, County Durham at around 1pm today. It was collie sized, black/dark brown. His home is on the edge of moorland, on the coast to coast route, and the cat ran off towards the wilderness of the fells. Others have been seen in this area over the years, and 10 years ago I saw one close to the sanctuary.
Has anyone else had Big Cat encounters?

If all the reports are true, the country's seething with 'big cats' and they're roaming the moors like herds of wildebeest on the Serengeti!
In case you haven't guessed, count me as a sceptic!

I'm afraid I'm another sceptic. There are regular reported sightings around here that I know full well are of a local dog that does admittedly look very feline when viewed from a distance. |

I know for a fact that there are big, and I mean BIG, cats living in England. At Longleat. Elsewhere? Get a life. This stupid idea really should be put in the bin where it belongs. It keeps coming up on hunting sites, wildlife sites, new age sites, xexexexe local newspaper sites. The only "mystery" is how people can be so dumb.
Sorry, bit of a rant there. But come on! Grow up!

Ric | That's not a mystery Ric!
I reckon folks just plain like 'monster' stories. Fairy tales are really fun for kids why should adults be any different?
From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night...

If you really want a story of a mysterious sighting I have one and it is true, I saw a copper on the beat around here two nights ago!!!! |

No sorry, Big cats are a lot more believable than coppers walking the beat.

Isn't it amazing that in this day and age there are still reports of big cats yet no photos. It reminds me of the search for the Ivory Billed Woodpecker in Florida recently (thought to have been extinct since the 1930s(?)). The team saw one but didn't have a camera with them - funny that! If I were going to go looking for something strange or supposedly extinct then the first thing on my list (after nearby pubs) would be a camera.
Big cats are like the Loch Ness monster et al.
