The Beast of Bodmin Moor

The Beast of Bodmin Moor refers to mysterious large cat sightings reported on England's Bodmin Moor since the 1970s. Described as panther-like creatures with glowing eyes, these phantom predators have been blamed for livestock killings, though no conclusive evidence exists. Theories range from escaped zoo animals to surviving prehistoric cats. Despite numerous investigations, including a 1995 government study that found no proof, reported sightings persist. The legend endures as one of Britain's most famous cryptozoological mysteries, blending folklore with modern wildlife speculation. Whether myth or reality, the Beast continues to captivate locals and visitors to Cornwall's rugged moorland.
