A mother believes her daughter has spotted the elusive Palace Puma.
Dawn Williams’ daughter Georgia, 19, spotted the infamous beast at the end of Sylvan Road.
The 54-year-old said: “Georgia came in from work.
“She was literally shaking and was frightened and said she had just seen an animal down the road.
“It was definitely not a fox or a dog.
“She said it was feline looking but the size of a large dog and black.
“Georgia tip toed past it and then ran home.”
Mrs Williams went out to look for the beast but by then it had vanished.
She added: “It was spotted just down the road from where we live but I couldn’t see anything.”
Mrs Williams’ daughter is one of many who have spotted the large beast affectionately known as the Palace Puma.
Back in 2010, a pensioner living in Rommany Road, Gipsy Hill, claims she saw what looked like a "big cat the size of a large dog carrying a cat in its jaws" in her front garden.
In 2009, Eduardo de Brito, who lives in Thicket Road, saw what he thought was a large dog prowling the street.
