[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2442242, member: 8944"] Any and all of my encounters with the supernatural or paranormal have been (at best) peripheral. I grew up in eastern South Dakota, smack dab in the middle of the great plains. Though there are (theoretically) no large hunting cats thought to live within 400 miles of where I grew up (our native predators have been Coyotes and Foxes since the introduction of Man to the region some few thousand years ago - mostly due to an utter lack of native tree cover), there were always sightings and rumors of "wampus cats" and "panthers". Every once in a while, someone would lose some livestock or see a big cat crossing a highway late at night - usually, the events were connected. In all the tales are common all across the United States, and Great Britain's [i]Beast of Exmoor[/i] is fairly similar, as well. The university biologists insist that no such large cat could exist as a native of the region, and there have been no documented zoo or circus escapes within a thousand miles, ever. No spoor or prints have ever been found or documented, but people still see Wampus Cats in the shelter belts around their houses, or slinking through their cornfields... These phantom panthers are real enough to be seen over and over again for generations by otherwise honest men, but ethereal enough to avoid all other modes of detection. Folklore? Myth? Reality? Something in between, I suspect. Me, I've never seen one...but I've heard their roaring screams. There's something out there. [/QUOTE]
