'Big cat' spotted by Westcountry driver in field near Bristol

A man said he "100 per cent" saw a big cat running through a field while driving just an hour outside Bristol. Jason Scriven, 30, was shocked upon seeing a "huge black object" sprinting along hedgerows in the Forest of Dean on Thursday morning (June 1).

Jason, from Tetbury, insisted it was a big cat he saw he saw while driving from Whitecroft towards Lydney at around 10.50am. After pulling over to try an grab a photo, the 30-year-old said he called police to report the sighting, noting the shape had a "very distinctive long tail".

The vehicle breakdown and accident recovery driver was unable to snap a picture of the creature. He told GloucestershireLive it was "gone within seconds", but added it was a big at "without a shadow of a doubt".
