A NEW sighting has been made of a big cat in The Horncastle area.
There have been several sightings of what is described as 'a big black cat' or 'Wolds Panther' in the Lincolnshire area in recent years.
The latest sighting came in the past few days from Anna Wood who was travelling in the direction of Sleaford from the Woodhall Spa/Martin area when she noticed the cat creature.
She said: "It was not a domestic cat, it was completely black and about the size of a small collie with a very long tail which almost touched the ground.
"It has a characteristic blob at the end of its tail. It ran/loped across the main road about 100 yards ahead of me going from left to right.
"There are woods on the left side of the road and it disappeared into the field on the opposite side of the road into the harvested corn field.
"I would be interested to know if anyone else has seen a wild cat in the same area."
Angela Cobb sent us this message: "Hi, I think i saw the big cat about four weeks ago.
I was on my way home from Louth, on a Sunday night.
As I came towards West Ashby where I live a large animal ran across the road from right to left.
It was twilight so I couldn't see what it was but it was large and fast."CLICK HERE to email us with your sightings.
