A member of the general public says she identified the huge cat near Lady Margaret’s Caravan Park, nearby to Chirk Castle and the town’s Kronospan factory on Tuesday, March 28 at around 8.45pm.
She shared her encounter with online forum Puma Watch, which collects reports of huge cats throughout the nation.
According to her report she identified the monster on top of a “low structure”.
She informed Puma Watch: “I was a guest driving below the Chirk Caravan website – beside the estate – and I saw a large animal on top of a low structure.
“I can’t offer anymore information since it was entirely backlit by the enterprise zone, behind what appeared like a factory or a mine, however the animal was way larger than a dog.
“I relied on the driver and said ‘Omg, I’ve simply seen a bear or a wild cat, like an enormous f*** off cat.
“I kept attempting to look once again however the hedges were expensive.
“She [the driver] didn’t believe me so I searched wild cats in the Chirk area and found Puma Watch.”
But this is not the very first time huge cats have actually been identified around Chirk with 2 additional encounters being reported to Puma Watch in recent months.
OTHER NEWS:
The initially originated from a man who reported another sighting in December near Chirk town centre – simply 800 metres from where the huge cat was seen in March.
That encounter occurred at around 10.30pm on Friday, December 30, 2022, when the member of the general public said the animal crossed Trevor Road into the churchyard, originating from the instructions of the Ceiriog Valley.
The man informed Puma Watch: “The animal strolled throughout Trevor Road, and was stunned by my car headlights.
“It fled into the churchyard to the side of the roadway.
“I got a very good view and I’m certain that it was a leopard – it was too big to be a pet cat and the wrong build.”
And simply a month prior to that, on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, at around 8.15pm, a big black animal was supposedly identified near the Chirk woods, by a man walking his dog.
He informed Puma Watch: “I was walking my dog on the field beside my house and I heard branches snap in the woods behind my house.
“My dog fidgeted at this moment and after that I heard a big thud versus the wall that lines the woods behind my back garden.

“I shone my torch up and there was something large and black looking at me and my dog for a good 10 seconds, my dog was nervous and was backing up towards me slowly and cowered between my legs and it just dropped down back into the woods without making a sound.”
