A 'big cat' has been spotted in a Cheshire village, close to the Greater Manchester border.
A resident of Ashley, near Hale, reported seeing a "black, shadowy animal” while walking to the pub. The resident, named Cassy, said that her neighbour's pet dog has been left 'petrified' of going to the end of the garden.
Cassy had initially thought that the animal she saw may have been the dog. Despite it being a different colour from her neighbour's golden labrador, she had dismissed the idea of it being anything else until talking with her neighbour, CheshireLive reports.

I dismissed it as the dog though the colour was different.
"When I got to my neighbour’s gate I saw her and her dog in the garden and said I thought I’d just saw her dog in the bushes so was surprised to see it back in the garden so quick. She said her dog hadn’t left her side.
