by A mysterious figure terrorized a neighborhood and disguised as a large cat.
The figure – various online as “urban jaguar”, “Banshee” and “Gimp” – was seen near Wallasey Beach in the confusion.
The film material published in the social media showed the figure, which was dressed in a dark, figure -hugging morphous suit and a cat mask.
Abbie Gilbert said she went with her dog on Sunday evening when her path crossed with the Merseyside Panther.
She published the film material of the encounter on the Facebook page Crimewatch confused with the caption: “Tonight I went with my dog and heard a man who made cat noises, shone a flashlight, he waved with me before he crawled the hill up. Was never so scared.”
Adam Crouch, the owner of the nearby Northern Kitesurf and Wingfoil School, said that the incident took place in the Coastal Park behind the Harvester Derby Pool Wallasey.
He told the Telegraph: “It could be someone who laughs, or someone who tries to clean people. It’s pretty strange. Maybe he always dresses.”
Another video posted on Facebook showed frightened car passengers who screams over the dancing figure.
Emily Spurrell, police and crime officer from Merseyside, encouraged those with concerns to report to the police.
The cat figure’s outskirts were bumped into both ridiculousness and fear.
A user replied to a video by writing: “Hello, that’s my cat. He has not broken off and is quite crispy, we have missed him for a few days. Please don’t approach again. We hope that he will come home soon, my wife’s friend is worried.”
Another advised those who were confronted with the cat from Fancy Drise to be “bark”.
Other users feared the security of the cat, and one suggested that the police would “have a word with him in order not to jump on people anymore, since he could be beaten by someone himself”.
Another dog hiker discovered the Merseyside Panther in the shade through a pub. The woman said the BBC: “I drove down with the Harvester pub to go with my dog, and as soon as I was gone from the street lamps, I started growling a cat to my left.
“My little terrier, Mac, barked the figure, so I got my cell phone for light and caught a short video. A man in a Panther costume then crawled the hill up on all four.
The Merseyside police were contacted for a comment.
