The 'Ghosts and the Paranormal' thread got me thinking of another phenomenon which might warrant its own thread.
For years there have been stories about sightings of big cats (panthers? pumas?) in various parts of the UK. Possibly excaped 'pets' which have managed to survive in the wild.
Have any of you seen one?
I definitely saw one in October 2000, in a field by the Stratford on Avon Canal near Solihull. It looked to me about the size and colouring of a lynx, and seemed to be stalking something. My partner saw it too and rushed to get a camera (we were on a canal boat - moored up - at the time). Of course, by the time he got the camera the 'beast' had melted in to the undergrowth.
Any other 'sightings'?
