ET comment: Creature Really Could be Out There
Peterborough Evening Times: 4th September 2008

IT'S easy to be sceptical about sightings of a big cat-like creature wandering the Peterborough countryside. But what if the creature really is out there?
It's a scary thought, because there's no reason to think a panther or a puma would be particularly friendly towards humans. Luckily, perhaps, no one who has spotted it has said they came within a whisker of being attacked by the mystery feline.
The possibility that somehow a big cat has been let loose into the wild is hard to
discount when more and more sightings are being reported.
The latest person to spot it, city pensioner Jean Burton admits she, too, had doubts about the existence of the so-called "Beast of Bretton" until she saw it for herself while walking in Southey Woods with her husband. Now she has described it as "a most beautiful animal that is blacker than coal and bigger than a fox, with a long tail."
It would be handy if the next person to spot it could let us have a photograph. That way we could get an expert to solve the growing mystery of what is on the prowl.
Do you have any information on the above reports. Were you the person
involved, or are you aware of any more sightings in this area. We would appreciate any information that you could
give us.
Have your say on the forum.
