The Leopard Cat of Crewood Hall
Crewood Hall Farm in Kingley, Cheshire, is a place where the ordinary and the paranormal seem to collide. It was here, back in November 1981, that a rather unusual incident took place. A farmer, working on his land, claimed to have seen a large golden cat, which he promptly shot at. The event was noted for its peculiarity, a golden cat isn't something you typically come across in the English countryside, let alone one that warrants being shot at.
Delving into the specifics of the encounter, we find that the farmer's experience was documented as part of a broader collection of paranormal sightings. The description of the cat as 'large' and 'golden' suggests that it may have been an unusual animal, possibly not of this world. The fact that it was shot at implies that the farmer was startled or felt threatened, though the outcome of the incident is not recorded. This event, categorized under the type 'ABC' and dated to November 1981, remains a singular account of its kind in the records of Cheshire's paranormal history.
The incident occurred in a rural area known for its farmland and country estates.

The Unclothed Man of Tiree
Unknown farm on the west of the island, Tiree
On the windswept west side of Tiree, a small island in the Scottish Highlands, a mysterious figure was once said to roam an unnamed farm. This wasn't just any ordinary presence - it was a Brownie, a type of household spirit known for its helpful nature. The Brownie's task was to look after the cattle left out overnight, and it managed to do so without being seen by anyone with 'moral eyes', a quirk of these supernatural creatures. However, a seer, someone with the ability to perceive the paranormal, caught a glimpse of the Brownie and described it as an unclothed man tending to the cows.

By the time the driver reached the spot where the figure had first appeared, it had vanished into thin air.
