"I saw what was probably the Exmoor beast between Wiveliscombe and Bampton early this morning. Crossed the road in front of my car. Looked more like a large wolf than a big cat. Bloody scary!" John Petts, 19th March 2010

"Hi, Just thought I would write a quick email to report a sighting of a 
black Panther like creature yesterday. Whilst driving between 
Tiverton and Barnstaple 2-3 miles before the South Molton roundabout 
on the North Devon link road at 12.10 my mother who was sat in the 
front passenger seat suddenly said "there's a black Panther!" pointing 
to the right, looking up a steep incline to my right sure enough 
there it was, a large black Panther walking along the line of a 
hedge. The distance was approximately 30 - 40m from the road. The 
thing that really caught the eye was the sun shining on its glossy 
jet black coat, the grass was short making it easy to get a clear 
view and not mistake it for a domestic black cat, It was much too 
large (at least 2 - 2.5x larger than a cat would be at that distance). 
We are both 100% certain the creature we saw was a Panther.
 
I've always had doubts that sightings people have said they have seen 
were real, now I know for certain there is a big cat out there and 
feel privileged to have caught a glimpse of it. It's making the hair 
stand up on the back of my neck now as I type this, I can't believe 
I've seen one."  Paul Barham, 22nd March 2009

"I've seen a savage looking black wild animal several times in the Simonsbath area. Farmers and locals in this area know the beast exists, and so do their sheep! A pet cat as some townies say the beast is couldn't kill and rip apart sheep." Michael Chase, 10th January 2009

"A big cat or several cat-like animals live on Exmoor. This cannot be doubted." Jack Foster, 12th December 2008
