Beast of Bevendean

The Beast of Bevendean is a panther-like creature which has been spotted around the Brighton and Hove area of England since 2008.[1] It has been reported attacking and frightening dogs in the area. It has been investigated by the British Big Cats Society, who claimed "It could be a panther.".[1] Warnings were issued to local residents in 2008, and in June 2008 a local man reported an attack by the beast upon his dog.[2]

In 2010 it was sighted by a teacher.[3] In 2011 a local filmmaker began making Nightmare Hunters, an "action-adventure" movie about two young boys who set out to trap the Beast.[4][5]

In a response to claims that the animal could be part of a breeding population, a spokesman from Sussex Big Cat Watch said that "We don’t know how many are out there. There could be two or three or there could be dozens."[6]
