The Big Cat of Biggleswade
Local legend or actual large cat? Witnesses share their accounts.
Over the last 20 years there have been several sightings of a big cat stalking the water meadows, heaths, and back gardens of Biggleswade . And they're not your usual black panther type sightings; they're more intriguing. There's also been a number of phantom felines reported, haunting pubs and homes.
Of course, I had to investigate.
In this episode I speak with an eye witness about the large and unusual cat they saw whilst walking their dog. We have another witness statement sent into the show, and I look at old newspaper stories. All in an attempt to work out what the Beast of Biggleswade really is.
And I share with you my theory...
I also speak with Owen Staton, of the Time Between Times podcast, about his brushes with big cats in Wales, from school lockdowns, to one incident he attended in his role as a police officer. We also discuss what makes these big cat sightings so compelling.
I finish the show with a couple of ghost stories which feature phantom felines.
