Beast of Bay Seen Again - in a Field Full of Sheep
Whitby Gazette: 16th May 2008

THERE has been another sighting of the so-called Beast of the Bay –
this time in a field of sheep close to the Whitby to Scarborough road.
Andy McCarthy, sales manager of DeVries Honda in Scarborough, is
convinced what he saw in the field was a panther.
He was driving to work at the time from his home in Loftus and was
coming towards Pond Hill.
"I saw this big black thing walking up through the sheep. I realised
it wasn't a sheep dog because of the way it was walking and its big
black tail" he said.
"I'm 100% convinced it was a panther. The strange thing was the sheep
didn't seem bothered and the panther wasn't bothering them."
He said he had previously believed there was something out there, and
had spoken to people who had seen it.
Mr McCarthy (34) was travelling along the road at about 7.50am on
Wednesday when he made his sighting.
There have been many sightings of the Beast of the Bay over the last
