This Monday just gone 26th September, two guys saw this, video now posted in the local paper. www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/lifestyle/outdoors/watch-as-teenage-campers-film-big-cat-during-trip-to-popular-peak-district-beauty-spot-3862852

[@macduff1699]

possibly a tarmagin (grouse like bird) i know its wrong spelling 😏 but second sound was very similar to the world wide phenomenon of metal grinding against metal its been heard here in Scotland plus the rest of the world.

[@rocketiain84]

I camped out down off Curbar edge about a month ago near bar brook and heard something similar. It was like 2 sets of noises one following the other. Next day saw a huge heard of deer out there with a stag. But the 2 noises heard where from 2 diff animals as if one was following the other

[@tyla5427]

Saw your video and the "panther feasting on a sheep" video in a couple of articles and got a little excited! But I found the panther and sheep video on KZbin and the video is enlarged, so you can see it's either a cow, or a black sheep, bent backwards, cleaning itself. What looks like a tail is actually it's leg propping itself up. Also seems like a sheep is sitting behind it, which would explain the white fur: kzbin.info948FfNWu7Rg?feature=share And the other sheep in the field are way too chilled out. If that were a predator feasting on one of their own, they would be trying to run a mile.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@@tyla5427 yeah I reckon it's definitely a cow licking itself. Although in the wild, once a predator has made a kill the rest of the prey relax as they know they're now safe as its got its food. They only kill to eat so you'd be surprised at how calm they are after the kill and sometimes are very close just being ignored.

[@rossfraser3415]

Are you serious about that video ? It’s a dog licking it’s balls 😂😂😂 with sheep in the background laying down 😂😂😂😂your a fraud mate

[@jamesd5]

I remember on one particular occasion wild camping on my own. It was night time and as you can imagine very dark. I snuggled into my sleeping bag and as I was about to fall asleep I was alerted to the creepiest eeriest sound. No one was near me for miles. In these situations your imagination runs riot . I went outside to see if I could see anything, but nothing. The strange noise continued every so often until I went to sleep. In the morning I discovered what the noise was. A fallen tree was leaning against an upright tree and was rubbing against it creating the strangest sound. Simple as that.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Yeah I've had some weird ones that I've realised what it was in the morning. This one though, I still have no answer 😬

[@NoviceWildCamper]

🤣 thanks Rebecca. I survived though so must have been OK 😬 really wasn't sure (and am still not) what it was tbh. The only, and worst, thing I think it could possible be is a big cat. Some have been found in the past in the uk so it's a possibility but what's what's chance? I thought it was my imagination at first hence turning on the recording. Wishing I hadn't now and left it as my imagination. 🤣 dont let it put you off wild camping. It's the best thing I've ever done. And I know of no one who has been eaten on a wild camp yet 👍

I live near Buxton, there have been several big cat sightings by local hikers in the kinder scout area

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Yeah it's been going on for years all round the country. One day a decent bit of footage is bound to come out 👍

[@RobTopp1]

There exists historical accounts of a black dogman cryptid near Buxton too (Edale). Plus, a recent bigfoot sighting there.

[@deka2242]

Great video, wouldn't get me out there. Sounded like a Gator growl.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Was certainly weird. Thanks for watching 👍

[@24bellers20]

I was on Kinder about 7:30 a.m one late May morning and I thought I’d seen a large black dog with a long tail carrying what appeared to be a small lamb. It clear jumped a dry stone wall that was about 3ft high and disappeared behind some rocks. Never been on my own since.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Theres a lot of people that won't believe you. I know, I've heard it. 👍

[@wickedone6476]

The guttural sound was definitely a large cat , I grew up around pumas and have heard numerous sounds they make but I also worked at a zoo and have heard the noises lions leopards and tigers make , that was definitely a large cat........the second noise however wasn't a large cat or deer or canine and it sounded much father away than the large cat purring in your ear earlier. There are strange things in this world a person either acknowledges or they don't and I believe the second noise may have been one of those strange things.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

My thinking is exactly yhe same as yours. There have been sightings round there of big cats but no real proof. Second sound was definitely eerie.

[@wickedone6476]

@@NoviceWildCamper Aye , I've read a few write ups on sightings in that area as well as a few other locations across Britain. Next time you head out maybe you can have a couple of game cameras to take with you to set up around your camp and see if you can capture anything . Amazon has some fairly cheap game cameras.

Cheers. I'll have a look although my pack is usually crammed and overweight as it is 🙄😂

[@lawrencetalbot55]

I think you're right about both.

[@TheTwoFingeredBulldog]

Maybe wild boar? Just a guess. Other than that, possibly a big cat? I've seen them, even witnessed one chasing a deer a few years ago with my daughter. We took pictures of the prints on line with the deer prints.

[@JulioJordio100]

I think that was a lapwing (its a small black and white bird) they make very strange noises and that sounds very similar to sounds ive heard them make

[@NoviceWildCamper]

No, I've heard lapwing. In the flesh this was nothing like it. You could feel the bass in your chest. A viewer deals in sound analysis and he compared it to all known species. The closest that came to it in pitch, tone etc was puma and black panther. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@maryannmorgan9846]

Me and my friend walked into a field on a dark night recently. Got to the middle, and we thought there was a couple of bulls bellowing from under a tree, getting ready to charge us. They were really huffing and it was really loud and guttural. We ran as fast as we could and hurdled the gate in a oner. Turned out it was some freakishly large sheep. I've never heard them make a noise like that before. Scared us silly.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

😂 I've head.some sheep make some weird noises before

[@jacksonvega7751]

Stud male sheep are actually kinda formidable, i was surprised by how big they are havin only seen ewes n lambs my entire life

[@truck5050]

There's plenty of videos on KZbin showing sheep sending people flying. I got bullied by some sheep once on the Brecon Beacons. Ironically, it was during the famous Fan Dance mountain route - used by the SAS to test the calibre of their potential recruits. Needless to say, I wouldn't have made the grade. I got chased off route 😂

[@NoviceWildCamper]

😂

[@harduphiker]

@@jacksonvega7751 oh yes. Scotland you have a right to roam, but the sheep don't agree. One hike I jumped over a fence to take a photo, and the sheep stampeded me. I got quickly out of there. Sheep can be VERY aggressive and Scottish sheep are hard af, not like these wersh Sassenach sheep ;-)

A dog that's crazy. I'd have at least a fire ark on me. People are demonic as hell and go out to remote places to do rituals and even hunt people. There are also supernatural things that can happen in the deep wilderness.

I went with replacing the normal cord with shock cord on the doors (same thing, looked at the metal rams head and laughed at the postage cost). I also found replacing the inner cord with shock cord on the opposite side to the doors means I can guy it and the fly that side to the same peg without having that side of the fly really close to the ground on the flat with my walking pole set to 125cm. Get an inch or two gap now. I did find last trip out that trying to pitch it so the doors were at least a little into the wind helped with condensation (what with that gap at the bottom generally being much bigger than on the other side), but if yer camping in this country you're getting condensation. Only other option imo is getting one of those weird US tents, where the bathtub in the inner comes up about 3 foot and the fly is 18 inches from the ground. Which sounds grim in a gale, also known as "summer in the UK". Thought about spraying the inner with a bit of DWR, but what with it being mostly mesh I think that's quite pointless. God knows what that noise was: couple of lads having a beer in The slaughtered lamb mebbes?

[@NoviceWildCamper]

🤣 keep to the path, stay off the Moor! Yeah the fact there was zero wind and nearly zero temps didn't help with the condensation, no way round that really. My sides and rear have a fair gap but it had no chance that night. Cheers for watching though 👍

Everyone commentating using the fact he stays ‘calm’ and suggesting it means he faked it, has never wild camped in the UK. After many years of doing so in even the most remote spots, this noise would have me in laughter as there’s nothing here that can harm us so it’s just a normal animal being weird.

I don't know about pumas but there used to be wallabies up on The Roaches. Released from Swythamley Hall during the Great Depression of 1929/30. Last genuine sighting was in the late 1970s though. The severe winter of 1963 killed most of them off.

There's been sightings of big cats across the uk after the exotic pets laws changed in the 70s. People released them into the wild rather than get fined.

Just compared that first sound to a recording of a black leopard. I live in Derbyshire and occasionally go out to do a bit of astronomy. Having heard that, I don't plan on going out at night any time soon. Incidentally, the second sounds are deep and resonant. Just further away, which makes them seem higher pitched. And finally, two guys filmed what they thought was a big cat in the Peaks last month.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Yeah I saw that video in the local post website. Certainly looked like a panther.

I've experienced the same, camping in the Peak district. It circled the bivi for a while. I was shaking with fear. Another wild camper experienced it on Kinder scout. Only it was hoking around under his groundsheet too.

Mmmm……..maybe some inter dimensional beings checking you out…….the first noise was then speaking to each other…….the second almost sounded like their craft (invisible) lifting off…….and then the noises stopped. 😉 I’ve not had any noises like that camping before but I have had a couple of weird experiences at some summits……seen a metallic ball floating about 100ft off the summit which was gone in about a second…..and also a strange ball of light floating through the edge of a forest……thankfully these were both during daylight, I’d they happened at night I indeed would have instantly died on the spot……man I hope I don’t hear noises like that. Lol. I’m in Northern Ireland by the way, I camp in the mourne mountains, lots of history of death and fighting and also an old smugglers path runs through the range. They are beautiful but do get a bit freaky the odd time. Greta vid. If you ever figure it out, keep us posted. 👍🏼

Cheers buddy. Yeah the mourne sounds spooky. Good fun sometimes to be a but scared. Can relive the boredom 😂 on dartmoor once with my son I dreamt (hoping it was a dream) that in the rain and wind something pressed against the side of the tent. I ran my hand along it to see if I couod feel anything and something grabbed my hand real hard! I screamed like a little girl and woke my son up! Tols him I sneezed and to go back to sleep.
