A MOTORIST who saw a "big black cat" running across a field believes she has seen the Anstey panther.
Hollie Walsh was driving along London Road at around 3pm last Tuesday (January 17) when she spotted the wild-cat-like creature.
She told the Mercury: “I saw a big black cat running in the far fields along London Road just past the turning for Anstey, while looking for the numerous deer spotted there regularly.
“I got home to search sightings after I thought I might be seeing things, and found [the story on your website].
“It was an incredible sight, and thanks for confirming I wasn’t seeing things.”
There have been three previous sightings of the big cat in the village, with the most recent sighting in September last year.
Prior to that there was a sighting in 1998, and a third is rumoured to have occurred in the village some 20 years ago.
