Bodmin Moor, an 80-mile stretch in Cornwall, England, is the setting for the legendary Beast of Bodmin Moor, a ghostly wild cat. Reports of a panther-like creature and the discovery of a big cat’s skull have fueled speculation. #cryptids #bodminmoor https://connectparanormal.net/2024/03/02/cornwalls-cryptid-the-legend-of-the-bodmin-beast/

The Cheesewring, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall

A natural geological granite formation shaped by weathering. In the late C19 it was threatened by its proximity to blasting at the Cheesewring Granite Quarry but it was saved through protests by local people.

Recently back from an unforgettable trip to Cornwall, where I passed through the mysterious Bodmin Moor – home to one of the UK’s most enduring legends: The Beast of Bodmin.

For over 30 years, people have claimed to see a phantom black cat – as big as a puma – slinking through the misty moors, glowing eyes and all. From mutilated livestock to grainy footage and spine-chilling stories of being chased, the tales are as wild as the landscape itself.

Official investigations found no evidence... but no evidence against it either. Is it a lost leopard, a released puma, or something far more ghostly and unexplained?

Whether myth, mystery, or misunderstood wildlife – I kept my eyes peeled. I did fleeting spot something strange, but could not be sure. The moor definitely has an atmosphere that makes you believe anything could be out there…

Have you ever seen something you couldn’t explain?

A breathtaking place: Kit Hill, Cornwall

At 334m you can see Dartmoor (East) Bodmin Moor (West) and the River Tamar running to the sea (South).

Archaeology galore: Neolithic, Bronze Age, medieval and C19 & C20 mining & quarrying. So much to explore and somewhere that brings back happy memories of my dear sister.
