Beast of Bodmin Moor Sightings

Off-duty police Sergeant Tony White and PC Andy Styles observed a large black cat-like creature crossing the road ahead of their vehicle at night. They estimated the animal at approximately five feet in length excluding the tail — far exceeding any domestic or feral cat. The officers filed a formal sighting report. Their account came the same year the Ministry of Agriculture launched its official investigation into Bodmin Moor big cat reports.

Farmer Eric Ley of South Molton lost over 100 sheep in approximately three months to an unseen predator.

Ley was convinced a large cat was responsible and his account made headlines across the UK, triggering the first sustained press coverage of the Beast.
