She said: “I heard a growl coming from a cave. I kept silent because I didn’t want to lure this wild animal in front of me.”

One feral camper said he heard squeaks at night and saw “golden eyes” reflected in his flashlight.

A third said they spotted a large black animal at Pen Braich, about 12 miles north.

She said, “I tried to approach it, but it disappeared into the forest.”

Another man discovered a footprint in an abandoned quarry.

He said: “It was bigger than my fist.”

The sightings were reported to Puma Watch North Wales.
