There may finally be proof that a big cat may be on the loose and killing deer in Gloucestershire, experts have warned.

Last week, dog walkers discovered the mutilated carcass of a roe deer on National Trust land near Stroud in England.

The experts believe that the injuries to the neck of the deer and the way the carcass had been consumed are believed to be highly indicative of big cat activity.

Experts have taken DNA samples from the remains of the deer to see whether a big cat, such as a puma or panther, could have killed it.

Local big cat expert Rick Minter, who has visited the site of the discovery at Woodchester Park, said: “It is very helpful to have this forensic study of the deer carcass.

“The consistent feedback I receive from people about possible big cats is that the animals should be studied, so we can learn about the subject.

“Studying likely evidence such as this will help us become more informed.

Mr Minter added: “Although people occasionally report a possible big cat from a distance, close up encounters with such cats are rare.

“Their hearing and movement are exceptional, which helps them avoid close contact with people.”

“In the event of a close-up encounter, you should stay calm and face towards the animal as you back off, but not threaten or aggravate it.

“The chances are it will have backed off very quickly first.”

David Armstrong, the National Trust’s head ranger for Gloucestershire, said: “There are some very occasional sightings of big cats in the Cotswolds, but they have wide territories, so are rarely present in one particular spot for long.

“We’d be interested to hear of any more sightings at Woodchester.”

Dr Robin Allaby, Associate Professor at the school of life sciences at the University of Warwick, visited to take DNA samples.

These are now being tested with the results due by the end of the month.

For centuries, there have been thousands of reported sightings of large felines on moorland and in woods and fields across the UK.

The animals – normally black or brown – are believed have been spotted in almost every county in Britain.

If you believe in ghosts, haunted house and having the cr@p scared out of you, then make a bid on England’s most haunted house which is now up for sale.

Reports of child ghosts that whisper to you, strange appartitions that appear and just as quickly vanish, poltergeists that move things around are just some of the weird activities that goes on at Wymering Manor in Portsmouth.

Portsmouth City Council has put Wymering Manor up for auction and they are hoping to get as much as $600,000 for it, due to ‘the novelty factor’.

The building belonged to King Edward the Confessor in 1042, and to King William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 until 1084. It is also listed in the 1086 Domesday Book.

Sightings of a man hanging from a tree in the yard, a woman dressed in a violet dress that stands at the end of a bed, a man known as Reckless Roddy who was killed in the lane, and the ghost of a nun with her hands dripping blood, have all been reported at the manor.

What, if anything, is lurking in the depths of England’s Lake Windemere?

Over the past 4 years there have been 7 sightings of a mysterious creature which witnesses claim is a long, humpbacked animal. Now a team is searching the lake for evidence that it really exists.

The ‘monster’, named Bow-Nessie in a tribute to the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, lurks in a lake that is about 11 miles in length and 220 feet deep in places.

The team’s sonar has not detected anything strange so far, but the team did report seeing a strange 20 foot disturbance in the water.

Hunt organiser, psychic Dean Maynard, said:

‘We’ve had more creature sightings here than at Loch Ness in recent years so we think it’s time that Bow-Nessie received more attention.’

Back in 2009, Maynard previously searched for evidence of the creature. On the morning of the search John McKeown of Lakes TV went off to get some shots of the lake for a documentary he was filming about Dean’s investigation, what he went onto to film was probably the best video evidence ever caught of ‘Bownessie’ on Windermere lake…

On his website, Maynard claims:

“Dean ‘Midas’ Maynard is one of the country’s top Celebrity & Sports Prediction Experts, who uses his psychic ability to forecast and support a range of participants in celebrity and sporting careers. Nicknamed ‘Midas’ by the press due to his many successful predictions, Dean has received widespread acclaim in the UK and USA, in the media and online.”

Could this be real, imagined or just a publicity stunt?

Video of the latest UFO sighting captured in Wrexham, England has been released.

The witness who wished to remain anonymous, had heard of strange sightings above the village over the past several months. He claims that before capturing the strange lights on his cam, he had seen them on one previous occassion.

On 18 April, he saw the lights once more and managed to grab his camera and record exactly what happened.

The video shows two bright lights in the night sky.

“They were totally silent and much too big to be a plane,” he told reporters.

“I have heard of a case recently in the Wrexham area where Chinese lanterns have been mistaken for UFOs, but I think that in this instance the objects were moving far too quickly.”

A number of sightings in the area over the past several months have been attributed to Chinese lanterns.
