Growling noises whilst wild camping in the Peak District!

My last camp of 2021 and I head to the Peak District for a stunning camp on White Edge with views for miles.

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 😬

🤣 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 👍

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

[@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 😂

[@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 ;-)

I was so scared when I heard that noise, you remained calm but I would have been shaking and freaking out.

[@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.

Yeah stone else pointed that out. Ive tried checking on big screen and can't work out what it was. 😬

[@Outland9000]

since his camera was playing silly buggers I'm going to assume it's just some digital artifacts... But that was definitely on the weird side.

[@CreepyTrendMan]

Well spotted.

[@CreepyTrendMan]

It appears again but only as a single dot unlike the first appearance. It's at the same time the battery is apparently low and the screen is flickering. Could well just be a technical issue with the camera.

[@crminstrel]

Sounds like a leopard. A keeper of a zoo in Portsmouth knows of escaped big cats as well as private collectors who have released or had cats escape. A circus in Scotland also admitted to releasing cats. Super interesting!

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Yeah it happened loads decades back when the laws changed. A young boy near where I lived in Sutton was mauled by a puma back in the early 70s.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but this isn't a bigfoot or dogman. It's actually my mother in law. Sometimes she gets loose and runs out from under the porch and bites people on the ankles. Police said we would have to put her down if she got loose again. Best chance of surviving an incounter is to lay out some zanex and some whiskey and lucky strike cigarettes. 😊

Being a Derbyshire lad and having wild camped in the Peak District for several decades that definitely sounds like the familiar guttural growls of red deer to me. They rut in late autumn, particularly October but stags will practise their growling & barking and managing hinds in September. Definitely not a big cat as far as I’m concerned.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Yeah I didn't know what it was tbh. 90% of the comments reckoned it was a large cat. Some sound guy apparently sampled the sound from my vid and said it didn't have any of the same lines and tones of a dear and was more feline and matched that of a panther or mountain lion. I suppose what we hear isn't always the same buy what do I know 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Roobarb_Defender]

@@NoviceWildCamper I’m the same, mine is just opinion from previous similar experiences out on the hills...it could have been many things but I know people love the excitement of big cats roaming wild looking for lone campers to snack on. What I do know is different deer breeds have very different sounds (like dogs do when, for example, comparing the bark of a Great Dane to that of a Yorkshire Terrier). Red deer and roe deer in particular both have terrifying guttural growls around rutting season - particularly disconcerting when heard camping alone at night. Another cracking video.

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.
