A woman says she suffers from "panic attacks" whenever she returns to a part of Wales where she once spotted a "big cat".
The woman, known as Mollie, was camping overnight with her boyfriend when she saw the animal, according to a big cat group online. During the night, the pair reportedly heard a growl "like nothing we'd ever heard before" and when they went to look for the source of the noise with a torch, they found "a big black cat with glowing eyes" staring at them, reports North Wales Live.
Mollie told Puma Watch : “Went fishing with my ex-boyfriend and we decided to stay the night. Around 11/11:15 pm we heard this growl. Nothing we had ever heard before. He got out the tent to investigate with his flashlight and shone it on, what looked like a black big cat with glowing eyes.
“We ran to the main cabin hoping someone had left it open (they hadn’t). He rang the police and they came down to the fishery and even cut the chain on the gate so we could leave. They investigated but found nothing but I know it was real. We never returned and to this day I refuse to go in that area, when I do it causes panic attacks.”
It happened at Commonwood Fishery between Holt and Wrexham with her boyfriend when she saw the animal, according to Puma Watch North Wales.
Puma Watch North Wales say they have received several other reports of big cats in the area, including one in Wrexham alongside this one from November 2018.
