Report from Chris Smith
Dead deer found with scratch marks
Around 1994
What I am about to report isn't a spectacular sighting of a big cat and nor is it a hard eyewitness acount of a kill. I would just like to hear your feedback on the subject, if perhaps you had ever heard of any similar occurences in the area. around eight years ago I was with some schoolfriends "exploring" our local woods in culloden. at the time we had no idea of the "ALIEN BIG CAT" phenomenon, but what we ended up finding could not be explained by any of our teachers nor parents, naturally there was a sense of scepticism from the parents and teachers. what we fell upon was a carcass of an adult deer, in what I can describe now as being in the early stages of decomposition. our first impression was that it had died of natural causes but as we approached closer to the animal we noticed lesions which i would assume were clawmarks on the midriff of the animal, also the neck of the animal looked like it had been cut open, needless to say we didnt hang around the area for too long as the smell of the carcass wasnt too apealling! we decided to return to the site after dinner that night with a camera, but unfortunately we could not locate the area again which the animal lay. I understand you may read this account with a deal of scepticism, as would I, but despite the length of time ago it was and my young age i still feel it was an unusual thing to find, i would be greatful if you could give me any feedback and opinions you may have on the matter,
