Big Cat Sightings The Beast Of Bodmin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 гру 2016
- There is no doubt that Bodmin Moor is a creepy place. Should you happen to find yourself alone there as dusk is falling, try not to think about the layers of legend, horror and mystery associated with this wild and rugged landscape, and in particular, whatever you do, try not to let your mind dwell on The Beast.
The Beast is the result of some sixty sightings of a black panther-like big cat, supposedly three to five feet long and sporting white-yellow eyes, combined with numerous reports of mutilated livestock. The evidence was robust enough that in 1995 the government ordered an official investigation into the existence of such a beast. The report finally concluded that there was verifiable evidence of a big cat on Bodmin Moor.
2023 and still seeing them. ;)
Everyone knows if you take your dog out on Bodmin Moor after midnight you're only asking for trouble!!
A few years ago, people took this seriously. I remember in about 2001 travelling home from near Tinatgel across the moor. We saw a huge black cat like animal dart across the road in front of us - miles too big to be a domestic cat but certainly not lion sized. We were quite amazed. However nobody took us seriously.
I take you seriously, because it is a fact that these big cats exist.
I’m not even shitting you here, I had a dream about big black beasts in the English countryside. I started researching stone boundary walls as it was a big part of the dream, and I soon stumbled on this phenomenon. Wtf. I need to lay off the grass? Or smoke more and become a writer? Idk!
I saw black cat around 10 years ago I was driving down a single track country lane very early one morning after doing a delivery to a country /golf club in Wales and one shot across the road in front of me as I came around the bend, it was long almost as wide as the single track road it went into a large hole in the hedge line all I can remember was seeing this flash of a big black cat run across the road and watching its big tail disappear into the hedge. it was first light and I know what I saw for sure.
GAZO D you’re on drugs
@@arthurmorgan7086 no you are on drugs because you are a scared little bitch when people tell you experiences that are out of your norm.
A great if rather brief sighting. The really long tail is the clincher, apart from the sheer size.
Dna from black hair strands recently revealed we do have pumas here in the uk
@@edwardtreadwell3859 I agree with Edward 👍
I can relate, even though I'm in the US. Here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan we have cougars, yet the government has denied it for years.
Why do you think the government has denied it?
@@jman4668 I should slightly amend that. They denied it for years. They've admitted it in recent years. As for why, I don't know. Maybe they denied it to protect the animals or something. No other reason makes much sense to me.
Trevor's hair escaped in 1992 and was spotted in Bejams until it closed down.
Brilliant!
pahahahh
Ha ha blinder 😂
It was just recently prooven by black hair strands that we do have pumas here in the uk
That's a fact, but the hairs analysed, were from a panther, a black leopard. No such thing as a black puma.
I was walking through one of Bodmins many patches of woodland and I saw a huge black shape on a rock in front of me. It promptly came forward a bit then into the woods
Myself and my daughter saw a big black cat, we didnt realise just how big untill it stood next to a five bar gate. It was definately a panther size animal. That was near Jamaica Inn.
I’m glad you said “cat”
BBC interpret that as you will 😂
Wtf Trevor sort your syrup out 😂😂
Nice compilation, takes me right back!
large cat are like the SAS i have metal detected the field around my area for 30 years and only once did i see a puma as black as cole walking the lower banks of the railway . i was with a mate . when i pointed it out all he said was lets get out of here he went i stood and watched it jump through the 3 picket fence and vanish up the embankment .
COAL not Cole, learn to bloody spell.
@@1t_wasnt_me no my mate racist
Great Video! Extremely interesting. Where did you get all this footage? Im very interested in the subject but I've never seen most of this footage.
i lived by bodmin moor for 5 years working on a farm , i found half a sheep up a tree one morning .
Which farm?
Wool
Bodmin moor Sheep can climb trees

in the early 80's i was on holiday on a sheep farm on the edge of bodmin moor, i was told about two brothers who kept 2 mountain lions in their barn. apparently when they retired they moved and let the cats loose on bodmin moor. i am the only one in my family who has not seen a big cat, i now live in north somerset where they appear to be seen quite often.
Mountain lions aren't black
@@rawdog314 No they are tawny in colour but if the climate is cold the fur grows longer & is a dark reddy brown & depending on the light can appear darker. I expect if it's night time & you shine a torch it could appear black.
@@lizoliver4407 they may appear darker but no way they could be described as black.
Bodmin moor as become famous for it's growing population of large cats that have only been seen thousands of times but not one person managed a clear photo. Put some camera's about Bodmin moor and let them film as it's tiny so should be a piece of piss.
@@rawdog314 dugsey never said anything about them being black! You're the only prick here going on and on about the cat being black.
My mum seen it when she was a little girl!
And it was as high as her shoulders
I've seen big cats in the UK on two occasions . First time in 2003 running across an arable field by the side of the M25 at J7 by Crawley in the late afternoon in the summer. It looked like a panther …. Second occasion I was walking with the misses and the dogs ( which they were unusually quiet and remained with us both of us during the whole walk ) across the hills around Detling , Kent . We spotted it approx. 300m stalking I would imagine wild rabbits , it was black with a profile of a leopard , That was in the summer of 2012 …. we didn't hang around …. lol . They are out there .… !
So all these wildlife documentaries and camera traps don't find anything in fifty years but you and your Mrs going to do a bit of shopping in B and Q spot two of the fuckers 😂😂
2019 my partner saw a black cat by opposite harry Potter studios I was driving , the 2020 begining of lockdown we saw a big lion coloured cat in felden
@@rawdog314, From 300m away too. They've give their own secret away of being a superhero couple as well now.
@@Phoonguy, A big lion coloured cat? Not a small or medium lion coloured cat?
@@rawdog314 What a shame you haven't seen one. Never mind troll.
Came for big cat documentary , stayed for Trevor's hair.
I hope no conclusive proof comes to light of big cats in the British countryside because some government agency will only want to kill them , Leave the things in peace if they do exist
james fletcher this is ridiculous. This fucking animal doesnt seem to leave people or their livestock in peace and is clearly not a native animal thats always been there. Get rid of it. The ecosystem wont go to shit because of it.
@@llamov if this really was a leopard then the government would have no choice but to capture it,it would at a conservative guess be capable of killing and eating one sheep a week,there is NO evidence whatsoever that livestock is getting predated by leopards and the video footage is too grainy,as much as it adds mystery to your trip to the country it's a load of bollocks
I'm afraid they will have to be captured, they are dangerous.
@@Phoonguy only danger round here is you
@@rawdog314 lol your dumbness is dangerous
I would really love to see one
janes dog (lucky) should have been dead and half eaten when jane came round if it was a big cat
Why would the big cat attack her but not eat her or the dog?
@Sandcastle • it was a kung fu cat one chop on her neck and she was out,bruce lee would be so proud
Exactly, and where were her injuries? If a big cat had swiped her she would of sustained injuries for sure, and yes I’d agree also the dog would be dead or badly attacked as a minimum.
It would be more interesting if you didnt have to watch the same interviews over and over again !
I had a friend from Kettering Northamptonshire.. Who had a mountain lion in late 70's it went missing from enclosure.
Sure Jan
21:28 Forget the cats, what's that extraordinary mammal on his head?
There were big black cats that were a cross between Wildcats and domestic cats .I saw it on a programme somewhere years ago .
I didn't think big cats knocked humans out? Never heard of mountain lions doing anything like that
The calf that got killed I wonder if they found footprints around the kill as it looks like it was there a while
Does anybody know what species Trevor's hair is?
I see a big black cat near to Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire and that same cat got spotted by dog walkers as it went over to wendover woods. I see it as it crossed the field's near to some dog kennels. Also Cat foot prints have been seen at the Golden ball pathway near to the Horses
Of all the stupid things I ever heard of--taking a dog for a walk at midnight on a moonless night on the moor!
VictrolaJazz I know 😂😂
I have done that on plenty of occasions!
It wasn't a moonless night it was a moonlit night, listen again.
She says she was knocked out....l reckon the dog frightened the Puma off.
@@johnlewis5663 The sound wasn't good but can't imagine wanting to walk on Bodmin moor in the middle of the night or any moor for that matter. Most dogs I've had would rather be snuggled up by the glowing embers of a wood burner & have a good run during the day. In high summer a late evening walk while still light.
Cool, the wild big cats exist.
they r native to the UK and have been here longer than humans have. Romans reported seeing them.
They hardly ever attack humans unless cornerd and threatend. Some have attacked humans that tried to take their cubs away.
Do you have a link for the Roman big cat sightings?
its so wrong to keep these fur babies as pets and damn wrong to let them go to roam around not only unfair to the animal but very scary and dangerous for humans
We have them in lreland too. Ive seen them. Id call them a dark brown back, lighter sides, fading to cream on belly....long almost prehensile tail brown on top and cream underneath with a dark tip.....small head and blunt ears....l wondered had there been a fertile hybrid mix from releases? More possible in UK as you have more ground....but we still have our wild corridors where yours are cut by motorways.....l dont hear of lots of sheep kills but they do go missing on the mountains....but we have loads of deer and smaller game so domestic kills would be minimal.
9.06 black house cat coming out of the hedge . There's your black panther
Why are they not using Cams on tree's? hmmm
Why didn't they take there big cat up there for a comparison of size
I saw a kangaroo one night, driving through Milton Keynes- just sat on the pavement.
Peezebeuponyou kangaroos aren’t in the uk tho. Big cats are 👍🏻
@@28mouse85 They are, but they're in wildlife parks- of which there are quite a few in the area.
Thought copper was Bob cryer
Panthers do not exist, the name is a pseudonym for a black leopard, the name comes from mythology. It is best referred to as a black cat to avoid any confusion.
Black panther could be a leopard or a jaguar
Even black leopards are quite rare,if you were to believe half of these nutters a third of the population exists in Britain😂
Well when people have exotic cats and then let them go into the wild to breed you get cats,dogs,sheep on the cats menu.
It's a rock badger.
The photo at the end was a fake as the tail was abnormally long.
20:50 he has a dead cat on his head.
With today’s cameras how come all the films and pics are out of focus when these are sighted .?
think this was on tv about 30 years ago, late 80's no mobile phones then and crap cameras
The massive reports of witness testimony can't be completely ignored. Also, there is quite a few videos of them and, with regards to why there is still no close up, high-resolution images/videos of any of these animals, is not enough to discount all of the other evidence; the size of the animals killed, the distance said animal was dragged and the physical evidence left behind - such as claw marks on the carcass, the method of killing and the very low amount of edible flesh left behind. Most, if not all experts asked, said that these were the work of a big cat. When you include the evidence of this video with the rest that is out there, it is very hard to conclude that any animal other than a big cat is responsible for all of the reports, killings, sightings, etc.
Im.in lreland and we have big black or dark cats here too. Ive seen a couple but phone camera cant zoom that far......lve found spoor too.....and kills. Ive always got my dogs with me though so will hopefully never have a bad encounter......l go places where they go when l walk so lm always careful.
@@Pangolin-Mandolin there's massive reported sightings of Bigfoot and UFO's,there's no evidence whatsoever that they are here, absolutely nish!the few times big cats have escaped here they've been recaptured pretty quickly because they leave a lot of evidence!one leopard alone could eat a couple of sheep a week!no way!if Amur leopards (rarest big cats in the world) can be filmed in remote far east Asia and Russia on camera traps and video big cats in Britain is an absolute doddle, especially this day and age
@@rawdog314 the giant panda was nothing but a legend to Europeans for almost a century, despite numerous expeditions to look for them. It wasn't until the early 20th century that a specimen was found and documented by a scientist. There have been several occasions where either an animal has been declared extinct only for them to be found at local markets being sold for meat decades later, or reports of an animals living in a unexpected location being declared impossible or very unlikely by, 'experts', to once again be discovered years later. Besides the thousands of credible sightings, physical evidence in the form of scat, kill remains, foot prints, road kills and a few videos, including cctv, the UK is a very big place. Seeing our island on maps or globes gives a very misleading view to how large our home is. Another point is that up until about a decade ago, deer populations had to be regularly culled to control their population. In most counties that is no longer the case. And when you watch a documentary with scenes of a very rare animal, those shots have sometimes taken up to a year to film. Never underestimate the arrogance and ego of academics. The Wright brothers were flying for 2 years before one news paper editor believed it enough to print it. I suggest you look for information on this subject. I think that it's pretty cool that we have big cats back in the UK
09:06 I see you !
Star seeds???? Wtf is that?
What was the motive of a big cat knocking you out and leaving you unconscious? Saying there is no motive for a person to knock you down is kind of naive. I can think of many reasons why a man might knock you out. I can see no reason why a cougar or any other big cat would knock you to the ground and run away. If a big cat attacks it is attacking with the intention of eating you since it did not see you as a threat because you didn't even see it. It's not like you was trying to harm its Cubs and even then if it thought that was what you were doing it would have killed you. Wild animal don't do hit and runs. People do that when they don't want to kill but avoid being Seen by witnesses.
I reckon the dog frightened the Puma enough.....the Puma was probably moving looking for prey and got a shock coming across her in the night.......maybe reacted too quick and didnt see the dog. If she was knocked out she wouldnt know what happened between the dog and the Puma.
@@amandadonegan2137 hahahahaha you haven't a clue
The dog probably intervened and ran it off while she was unconscious. Obviously the cat didn't plan to simply knock her out. It's a side effect of being knocked to the ground fron behind, which is exactly how cats attack.
@@rawdog314Come here just to say stupid sh*t on purpose or just a coincidence?
@@amandadonegan2137Precisely.
Here kitty got a big sheep for you
thats a domestic kitty lol
*Watches for 20 minutes wondering who Trevor is...*
20:05 Ohhhhhhhhhh *that's* Trevor!
Its just a blackpanther
Black panther
It can't be a panther because they are a leopard mutation and there aren't leopard's I'm England. The beast had been seen it has the head of a black house cat but the body of a wild cat
GHOST FACE
no one is saying that they are native to this country, i dont think you understand the theory
In the 70s an 60s harrods sold exotic animals. In the late 70s you needed a licence, it wasnt until the early 80s that it was illegal to set them free in th countryside. So for.a.few years there was a legal loophole people took advantage of. Many was set free and had to be captured, no one knows if they was all capturd or not
@@chelseagreer6264 that theory goes to shit when you realise they have an average lifespan of about twelve years,so they would of had to bred,now giving the fact they would be the top apex predators with no threats there numbers would increase fairly substantially,basically it's a load of bollocks there have been big cats set free/escaped in the past but they have been recaptured pretty quickly and have been easy enough to find,just follow all the dead sheep and mayhem!
Your an idiot
A "panther" is a general term for a black leopard, or jaguar.
Why would you walk your dog at midnight.
Maybe to meet her boyfriend?
Why not
Maybe she couldn't sleep? Maybe the dog hadnt been walked that day? Maybe she just wanted to get out of the house? Who knows? It was a bright, moonlit night.
i have seen a big black cat in uk cambridgeshire my son saw it as well he was 5 at the time it was in 2005 it is a true story so no nasty replies please
U like sex
@Steve Whiting Me replying viley??
Steve Whiting
Steve, you say that you film these wild cats, I myself am an amateur wild life photographer, soon to be converting a van into a day van to be able to park up somewhere, set up motion sensing camera's and video camera looking to see what is roaming around our countryside, could you please give any info on where you go to film, or a decent place to be able to park up and hope for some decent frames?......I live on the Devon-Cornish border, any help would be appreciated
Steve Whiting
Steve.
Thank you so much for All info given, I understand and respect that you wish to keep your locations to yourself, I have taken note of all that you have said regarding road kills going missing, etc I think it's time to park the van and start setting up movement sensor camera's.
Once again a big thank you for all your info, you take care, and hope that you keep safe and your lucky....all the best to you
@Steve Whiting what do you mean?
I think Trevor is the Beast of Bodmin Moor
@@Kelly-murphy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was just a black panther the whole time...
I believe there is a big black cat in the UK but I’m not sure of what the animal is but this programme discredits itself when so called experts say that’s 100% a black puma or panther when a black puma does not exist and panther isn’t even a real animal it’s like a were wolf a panther is a mythical creature and if they were experts they would call it a melanistic leopard.
melissat922 actually there is black pumas, as well as black jaguars. And a panther is not a mythical creature
Jimmy O Sullivan never has been a single case of a black puma and yes you can get black jaguar scientific name being melanistic hence the melanistic leopard in my original post. And yes a black panther is a mythical creature but people have heard it so often they call them that what they are really referring to are leopards or jaguars with the melanistic gene (Black leopard or black Jaguar)
melissat922 you're speaking in technical terms, although I know what you mean. But it would be a bit like me saying that a great white shark is a mythical creature, because it's actually called carcharadon carcharias. Commonly known as great white shark
Jimmy O Sullivan it isn’t like that though as a great white shark exists, a black panther is a mythical creature comparing it to the likes of a were wolf but people have started to refer to melanistic leopards/Jaguars as panthers because so many people have called them that without the knowledge of what it is even certain questions on google will tell you it’s a leopard but it’s just an animal that looks similar to the mythical creature . It’s like someone referring to a horse as a unicorn because they have many similar attributes
Since when did you get a black Pumas!?
🖖😼
Where are her injuries, because a big cat can break ribs of a sheep with a paw swipe, I don’t think she’s very credible, her body language was all wrong to me she kept looking down avoiding eye contact, I call bullshit!
I actually like that they’re out there let them be if they’re not hurting people. There should be a law against someone being able to kill it, dart or humanly trap but not kill!
There is no such animal as a black Pantha. Never has been never will be!
@@Kelly-murphy Yup they exist. I talk to them every weekend.
i would celebrate panthers wild boar ect, so what sensational media bs, in the masai mara children as young as 6 walk to school past lions,
This is one of the most insane theories I have ever heard! I met the Beast of Bodmin on a cold October night many moons ago and it was a hippopotamus, not a cat or a dog of any kind. They are still out there to this very day rolling around in the mud - Hippos with great-big tusks that you do not want to mess with.
rubbish do you all think a member of the panthera family would bite an animal in the neck then walk off. this is typical silly season media.
It's crazy how many people buy this shit,the Amur leopard is the most endangered big cat in the world and can be filmed in remote regions of Russia and Asia but leopards can live undetected for decades in the fuckin forest of Dean!!
