A DRAMATIC sighting of a big black cat has been reported in the Yorkshire Dales, just weeks after a “panther like creature” was spotted in the same spot.
John Allan, from Ingleton, called The Westmorland Gazette in excitement on Friday after seeing what he described as a “non domestic” feline sitting on the village’s football field.
The 32-year-old, who said he would “put his life” on it being a big black cat, raced for his camera after spotting the creature and returned to the scene to capture photographs of unusually large paw prints in the snow.
