A black panther said to have been sighted in the county more than 30 times has been spotted again.
Stagecoach bus driver Garry Goodson, 44, says he saw the beast on Sunday at about 9.50pm as he was driving along the Aldwincle Road off the A6116.
Mr Goodson, of Almond Road, Kettering, said: “It was definitely a black panther, it was huge.
“I was doing the Weetabix 10pm run and I was on my way to pick up a couple of the workers from Aldwincle, so no one was on the bus at the time.
“I just saw these two huge yellow eyes in front of me. It was such a shock. The cat was bigger than an Alsatian with a large curled tail. I didn’t get to see it for long as it dashed off very fast.
“Luckily I wasn’t going any faster – I was going round the sharp bend on Aldwincle Road – otherwise I would have hit it.”
It is the second time Mr Goodson has seen the animal.
The first time was about three years ago when he was fishing by Blatherwycke Lake.
The first time the panther was seen in the area was in July 1994 in a field near Blackmore Thick Farm, between Bulwick and Southwick.
