The rich and varied biome of the United Kingdom and its wilderness is home to countless legends and mysteries, with an opulent tradition of folklore focusing on weird and unusual creatures.
From the banshees and ogres of Welsh mythology, to Nessie and the Wulver of the Shetlands; from the Irish alligator and the Leprechauns of the Emerald Isle, to the likes of Spring-Heeled Jack and the Woodwose; and yet amongst these tales and the rich stories of anomalous entities there is one such legend that is shared by all locales and utterly refuses to fade – the big cats of the British Isles.
Matt Everett, the director and creator of upcoming film ‘Britain’s Big Cat Mystery’ is frequently keen to remind me, that this is (at least in part) because folks like me simply won’t stop talking about it, and yet there is another, far more significant reason – the ever-growing accumulation of evidence which is tilting the argument for the existence of such cats roaming our wilderness strongly in the affirmative.
For in amongst the recent alleged Photoshop hoaxes and possible work of pranksters, which has caused no end of debate this last couple of weeks, with amusement and exasperation felt by many onlookers in equal measure, there still remains a steady stream of credible ‘proof’, that is, for those of us who can be bothered to filter through the nonsense.
Stroud has been a hot-bed of reported big cat activity over the decades, with the town even featuring in several documentaries, and inspiring a comedy film on the subject. The local Stroud Brewery even created and named a beer in honour of the town’s own legendary cat!
