Report from Mark Fraser
Orange Big cat seen at Falkirk
From a phone call, December 2000.
Well this ones a little strange, although the sighting allegedly took place in February 2000, the chap only rang me this evening. Anyway, make of it what you will.
Falkirk, Early February 2000. Two males wandering the gravestones in Camelon Cemetery, looking for military graves. Tony, a scouser who has lived in the area for the last seven years or so was a little ahead of his companion, as he turned a bend on the narrow path, he was amazed to see a large bright orange cat, "the size of a lion" standing between two gravestones staring at him. He stood there mesmerised for what he estimated to be a full minute at a distance of 30 yards from the animal. Not only was the cat bright orange but the latter half of its tail was white!
Tony insists that the animal was as bright as an orange (fruit) not ginger, fawn etc. and also that the tail was half white. The cat after staring at the Scouser for a "minute" slowly turned and walked away, it then stopped, gave Tony another glance then jumped over the cemetery boundary wall onto the railway line. That was the last he saw of it. It was broad daylight at 12 in the afternoon.
February 2000
