Josh Williams, 17, and his friend Ben Burns had spent the night wild camping when they noticed the large animal near Jacob's Ladder on Monday.
A teen camper was left shocked after spotting a 'panther' feeding on a dead sheep in the Peak District - sparking concerns that the big cat is roaming the British countryside.
"We stood staring at it and questioning what it could be for around five minutes before I decided to start recording so that I could zoom in and get a better look. We tried attracting its attention so that it would turn and face us, so that we could get a better understanding of what we were looking at.
"I could tell we were both thinking the same thing as the day before, we were actually discussing the possibility of us running into a wild cat whilst on our trip. The animals around it were seemingly unbothered, but they were certainly keeping their distance, as if they were used to this happening. It was eerie.
"We didn't go closer as we were behind a fence and didn't want to run the risk of becoming cat food. The reason we didn't stay for longer was that we had a train to catch and were running a bit behind on time after watching this animal for so long.Josh said he was honoured to have captured footage of his potential wild cat encounter - and everyone he has shared the video with was shocked at their discovery.
