The railwayman claims that he was chased by a "black panther" during the night shift in the Peak District.

37-year-old Billy Brown vividly remembers the warm breath of the mysterious big cat rising in front of him as he crouched next to the car in the parking lot.

His first eerie sense of the beast's presence is that he is being watched in Chinley, High Peak, after inspecting the Cowburn Tunnel, which connects Ideale and Chinley, Derbyshire.

Billy was halfway across the platform of the Edale station when he noticed a pair of large yellow-green eyes staring at him from the parking lot.

Billy said:

"I shone the high beam headlight into the parking lot, and saw a black panther sitting next to the back of the car. I could see steam coming out of his nose as he breathed. And it was looking at me. We must have been face to face for a good four or five minutes.

The beast was the size of an average Rottweiler dog . I had no phone signal and I had nowhere to run. As a professional, I had to continue the examination.

I was on the railroad, the cat could only see from my chest up and couldn't see my legs. So I slowly walked on and left the station."

Billy from Whaley Bridge explained that the terrible encounter had happened nine years ago and had been haunting him ever since. The man said he walked a mile until he reached the bridge on Edale Road and thought he had left this huge cat in the parking lot.

That was until his colleagues not only confirmed his observation, but also told Billy that they saw a cat following him just 20 feet behind him.

Billy's fellow railroad inspectors turned on their headlights at full power and beeped to get his attention.

Billy said:

"I waved to them and continued the inspection for another three and a half miles. When I finished, I met the rest of the team in the van, and I'll never forget it. I was very excited to tell them what I had just seen, and I started saying, "You won't believe what I saw."

But before I could tell them anything, they said, "We don't know what it was, but when we saw you on the bridge, we shone a light and saw that about 20 feet behind there was a black animal that looked like a big dog that was following you."

I didn't see the huge cat behind me, but at that moment I realized that he was crawling along the railroad or on the railroad and chased me for a mile."

Billy, who is currently a senior engineer and a leading British specialist in marine and civil engineering, claims that his former bosses ordered him to remain silent about the beast so as not to cause panic among tourists.

Original news

A railway worker claims to have been stalked by a "black panther" during a night shift in the Peak District.

Billy Brown, 37, vividly recalls the warm breath of a mysterious big cat, rising from its nose as it crouched beside a vehicle in a car park.

The team leader's first creepy feeling of the beast's presence was the feeling of being watched by Chinley, High Peak, after inspecting the Cowburn Tunnel, which links Edale and Chinley, Derbyshire.

Billy had made it halfway through the Edale station platform when he spotted a pair of big yellow-green eyes staring at him from a car park, the Buxton Advertiser reports.

A better glimpse revealed the predator to boast the body of a Rottweiler.

Billy said: “I shone my full beam headlight into the car park and there was a black panther just sitting next to the back of a car. I could see the steam coming off its nose as it was breathing. And it was glaring at me. We must have been face to face for a good four or five minutes.

“It was about the size of a medium Rottweiler dog. I had no phone signal and nowhere to run. As a professional I had to carry on my inspection.

"I was on the railway, the cat could only see from my chest upwards and couldn't see my legs. So I slowly carried on walking and left the station.”

Billy, from Whaley Bridge explained the terrifying encounter occurred nine years ago and has preyed on his mind ever since.

The 37-year-old said he walked for a mile until he reached the bridge on Edale Road and thought he had left the cat all the way back at the car park.

That was until his colleagues not only confirmed his sighting but told Billy that they saw the cat follow him at just 20 feet behind.

Billy's fellow railway inspectors turned their lights on full and sounded the horn to get his attention.

Billy said: “I waved at them and carried on my inspection for the next three and a half miles. When I finished I met the rest of the team in a van and I will not forget this ever. I was really excited to tell them what I just saw and I started saying ‘you will not believe what I saw’.

"But before I could tell them anything they said ‘we don't know what it was, but when we met you at the bridge, we shone the light and we saw that about 20 feet behind you, there was a black animal looking like a large dog, following you.’

"I didn’t see the cat behind me but at this moment I realised it crept along the railway or on the railway and stalked me for an entire mile.”

Billy, who is now a senior engineer for the UK’s leading marine and civil engineering specialist, claims his former bosses ordered him to keep quiet about the beast to avoid sparking panic among tourists.
