Big Cat Sighting Spooks Galston Security Guard

Kilmarnock Standard: 23rd March 2007

A Galston man recently had a brush with what he thought to be a big cat.
Security guard John Golder was patrolling the Manse Estate at 11.30pm on Tuesday, January 16th when he suddenly spotted what looked like a large animal.
The sighting resulted in him being so scared he was still shaking with fear when a Big Cats in Britain representative arrived 45 minutes later.
He said: "I shone my torch onto the playing field and immediately set up a set of eyes, which then stopped and turned to look directly at my torch beam.
"Immediately the animal began to bound towards me at great speed.
I became spooked, turned round and ran into the portakabin, blocking the door with a metalbar.
"It reminded me of a cat. I bounded. I don't know of any other animal that would move like tis.
The eyes were a yellowy-blue colour and bright - almost like a star. They seemed to be about two and a helf feet to three feet off the ground."
Mr Golder also claims that he saw the same creature walking across a field some months before hand.
