I reported possibly the first sighting of one in the wild in the U.K around 6/7 years ago now, In hertfordshire,
Was out early morning, say around 5/6am walking home from a friends house,
Was about to walk through a park area (surrounded by woods) when i heard a 'screaming' sound, so i shouted "hello" and "are you okay" thinking
it may be a person,
But i saw something on the opposite side of the park clock its eyes on me & start running along the path towards me, So i high-tailed it to a
neibouring house banging on the door lol They were obviously a bit apprehensive of me, but let me wait inside while they called animal control,
I told animal control it looked like a large black animal, But at the time they passed it off saying it was probably a stray dog,
However a year or so later after noone believing me, stories started popping up in the regional paper about 'large black cat' sightings, and after
that and reading the other stories i was certain they encountered the same thing i had earlier on in the year,
No point to my story, just like saying that i was one of (if not the) first person to report a sighting/encounter,
I still to this day believe it had just killed another animal (hence the screaming sound) and was going to attempt to make me the second course
