‘Big cat’ seen running through Cheshire countryside | Weird News

A woman has captured a mystery ‘big cat’ on camera in what experts are calling an ‘incredible’ sighting.

The strange beast was videoed by Becky Clarke in a top secret undisclosed location outside a town in Cheshire.

Becky has captured some of the clearest evidence of big cats in the past but almost forgot to record the footage this time around.

In the video she can be heard saying: ‘Oh it’s coming this way. Oh no I’ve lost it.’

She said: ‘We watched it for about 20 seconds on zoom before I realised I hadn’t pressed record.

‘There has been so much disruption in our area with thousands of houses going up over the last five to six years, and now motorway works cutting through green space.

‘It was only in the last few years I was lucky enough to see the deer, and now the cat.

‘I suspect their areas have been disrupted so much they have had to move.

‘We’re hopeful to see it again.’

Matt Everett, director of recent hit Amazon documentary Panthera Britannia Declassified said: ‘It’s pretty good evidence, even without scaling you can tell it is a large cat.

‘The birds seemed to get spoiled as if there was a predator nearby too – it’s all consistent with what you’d expect.’

Tim Whittard, co-producer of Panthera Britannia Declassified added: ‘I think it’s an incredible sighting.

‘We have seen a significant surge in eyewitness reports, as well as people coming forward with new photographic and video evidence since the release of the documentary.

‘I think it’s really changed the attitude of Joe Public towards this subject, and it’s no longer a matter of ridicule for eyewitnesses.

‘Things like the leopard DNA being found in the Stroud Valleys in 2022, as well as being able to piece together so much of the history around how these big cats came to be roaming freely in the British countryside in the first place appears to have given more people the confidence to come forward.’
