A British woman was sent running when she stepped outside to empty her trash and encountered a monstrous mystery creature lurking outside her home. According to a local media report, the frightening encounter occurred on the evening of August 18th in the town of Northampton as the witness, identified as Clare, was preparing to bring her garbage bins out to the curb for collection the following morning. Hearing something behind her and suspecting that it was a fox that she and her husband frequently feed, the woman turned around to snap a photo of the critter and was stunned to see a sizeable four-legged beast a few feet away.
Looking back on the terrifying moment, Clare recalled that "I ran quicker than I have in my life." Fortunately, since she had her phone ready for the intended fox photo, she managed to take a picture (seen below) of the creature. "I have no idea what it is," Clare marveled, indicating that "a lot of people are saying a panther." Regardless of what the creature could have been, the unsettled witness lamented that she is now afraid to leave the house, lest she run into the possible big cat again.
