The 'beast' of Blue Bell Hill is back...
The legend of the beast' of Blue Bell Hill has lingered since the 1500s when a mysterious creature, once described as the 'Great Dogg' was said to have been spotted in the vicinity of Boxley and Burham, near Maidstone. This elusive beast was said to have attacked, killed and eaten a rambler at the time, but since then there have been numerous reports of large cats around Maidstone and Medway, usually described as a black leopard, puma and lynx.
On August 5th 2009 a sheep was killed in local woodland. Two piles of fresh excrement were found next to the discarded contents of the sheeps guts which contained grass, and a few yards away the eaten and cleanly rasped remains of the unfortunate victim. The owner of the sheep had never lost an animal in such a way in forty years of living in the woods.

Thanet cats...
Two recent reports have emerged from Thanet, the first concerning a large puma seen at the end of May by a motorist in the Acol area. The cat crossed the road in front of his vehicle at midnight 23rd May 2009. On Wednesday 22nd July at 1:00 am a couple sitting in their garden heard an animal in the nearby tree which leapt from the branches on to a wall. They shone a torch at the creature and claimed it was large, black and had orange eyes. Strangely, when the couple contacted police, footage emerged from the local council alleged to show the culprit...after observing the footage it was immediately concluded that the CCTV showed nothing more than a domestic cat.
