At over five feet long and covered in black fur, the Beast of Bodmin roams Bodmin Moor and has done so since the 1970s. Sightings of the strange feline figure became so commonplace at one point that even the British government opened an investigation into it. When it first appeared, its MO was mutilating livestock and, while thankfully no people have been hurt, it has become an ominous specter that likes to terrify the locals but seems to attract the odd tourist.

Skeptics speculate that the creature may be a released circus animal or exotic pet but no evidence for this has been found. In the 1990s, a young boy found a leopard skull and while many thought this was evidence that the beast was dead (and evidence of its species), it turned out to be from a leopard-skin rug and rumors about the creature spread like wildfire once more.

The length of its reign over the moors have raised more questions than answers. Is this creature a long-living monster? Or, is the grainy video and photo evidence we have of it proof that it's actually a spectral beast? Perhaps the thing wandering the wilds is a ghost of something even scarier that once lived on this land? We still do not know and we recommend upgrading your audio-visual equipment before heading out. High quality images would be greatly appreciated.
