re: How often do you believe someone when they say they saw a Cougar in SE Louisiana?

I love the stories of people that "heard" a cougar/panther scream.

It's always the same...sounded like a woman screaming and made the hair on my neck stand up, but I'm 100% sure it was a panther.

Do you live around Folsom? That place is overrun with black panthers - plural - crying' like women all night.

When I first moved up there I had a local telling me about all the black panthers in the area. At first, I thought he was just trying to see how gullible the city boy was. Then I realized, "this fricking guy is serious!"

He's a nice guy, but it's hard for me to not mess with him about it. For the official record: I did not see any black panthers during the year or so I lived in the Folsom area. I did hear some crazy animal sounds in the night, but nothing like a woman crying.
