The beast is back and it is hungry!
Stewart Pittendrigh, of Bradley Hall Farm, on Saturday, found two of his calves had been killed by a creature large enough to consume all but the head and legs.
He is now believes that either Tynedale’s infamous black cat has struck again, or that a wild boar has strayed from its rumoured habitat around Prudhoe Hospital.
He told reporters:
“The other explanation is that it could be a black cat.
“That could just be a myth, but I reported the incidents to the police and the officer I spoke to said he had seen the creature with his own eyes.”

Hexham Courant: TYNEDALE’S BLACK CAT BLAMED FOR MUTILATED CATTLE
Last Tuesday the grizzly remains of a strange creature washed ashore at Croyde Bay near Exmoor, England.
The beast was described as being as big as a calf but with ‘massive’ canine teeth. It appeared that the carcass had the remains of a tail and hair was found in the debris.
As the carcass washed ashore in North Devon, just a few miles from Exmoor, people began wondering whether the creature was that of the infamous ‘Beast of Exmoor’ which is said to roam the countryside. The ‘Beast of Exmoor’ is said to be a puma-like cat which people have been reporting since the 1970′s.
In 1983 about 100 sheep were found mauled and intriguing photos and sightings soon followed, but the beast was never positively identified. Since then, sheep and other livestock have mysteriously disappeared or slaughtered across Exmoor, all without any firm identification of the beast.
Locals believe that the carcass could be the beast which may have drifted down from Exmoor which is only about 5 miles away by sea. However a forensic examination of the carcass has positively identified the carcass, not as a big cat, but something entirely different.

Earlier we reported on the weirdness that surrounds the place called Cannock Chase. For many years this area has been associated with big cats, weird creatures, unknown manlike races and UFO’s.
Could a recent discovery be evidence that a big mammal does stalk the area?
In July this year golfers Ray Bright and Danny Adams photographed a huge pawprint they discovered at a nearby golf club. This coupled with numerous reports of sightings have only served to deepen the mystery.
Recently the Chase Post published an article showing a cast of a large pawprint. The print spans over four inches and seems to back up these reported sightings.

Bray Road is a quiet country road near the community of Elkhirm, Wisconsin. Nothing much ever happened there, that is until the late 1980′s and early 1990′s. Reports of strange encounters with a unknown beast began to emerge.
The story received media attention when Linda Godfrey, a writer and cartoonist for a weekly newspaper called The Week, started collecting eyewitness testimonies and writing about them. Articles also appeared in Strange magazine. Sightings have been reported in a much wider geographical area, even as far away as Milwaukee.
Godfrey has written a book on the sightings, The Beast of Bray Road: Tailing Wisconsin’s Werewolf, published by Prairie Oak Press in 2003.
However the story of the beast goes back much further. One of the earliest recorded encounters happened in 1936. Mark Schackelman was a night watchman at a Catholic convent, St. Colleta, near Jefferson, Wisconsin.
One night, about midnight, while doing his rounds, he noticed something standing on top of a Native American burial mound.Looking closer he saw that the creature was clawing at the burial mound, as if it wanted to get in. He shouted out and started to move towards it. The creature looked at him startled and turned and fled into the darkness.
The following night at about the same time, Mark was againnear the mound. Once more he saw the creature clawing at the gravesite. This time he crept closer, making sure to keep quiet. Suddenly the creature stopped what it was doing and looked around. Seeing Mark, it stood up and faced him.
