According to the NWO archives, the mountain lion/big cat story actually goes back to summer of 2002. I hadn't heard anything more about seeing such a creature until it popped up on this forum. Several pets were attacked back then, and a local TV news crew did catch it on TV.

Pappy, I also thought it was only two years ago. But I do remember Talking to Animal Control and they saying that there was nothing to it. When I asked about the Waii report he just shrugged and said they (AC) had no proof). Doubt they would know a cougar if it snuk up and bit them on the .....!

Nobocy is going to be lucky enough to be eaten by a cougar in this area. Just think forever and ever your name would be remember as the only person in modern history in NW Guilford county to be eaten by a cougar. How is that for a legacy?
New a guy once whose grandfather was the first person in Tenn run over by a car.

Pappy still ain't seen nary bear. But, did y'all hear about that 4 foot long python that attacked the baby in Charlotte? Some feller came to the rescue an' got the young'un loose by beatin' the snake with a shovel or somethin'. The baby's OK, the mama won't get over it any time soon.
Now, the weird part o' the story comes when they take the snake to a pet store to get him off the streets an' the pet store feller says the poor snake is harmless an' why would anybody beat a harmless creature like that?
Huh?!
First of all, no snake should be 4 feet long. Second, IT WAS TRYING TO EAT A BABY! Third, there doesn't need to be a third!

How ironic Jane, my granddaddy was the first person in his community in Siever County Tenn. to have a car.
We had our own animal event Today with a stray dog keeping us away from our cars.
Have to commend animal control, they got here within 30 minutes to takr the critter to doggie Jail. poor dog didnot appear too have been taken care of . It had a collar but no tag. Hope they find its owner Wasn a dog we knew from the hood. good morning all!

BIG CAT ALERT
Talked to a resident of Boone's Landing earlier this evening who was telling me that some time late into Tuesday Night early Wed morning. tracks were left across his drive, tracks were about 4 inches wide and were those of a large cat(no not a house cat). very similar to plaster cast he made of the cat during the last sighting in 2002.
Lets all be alert and report any further sitings.

Did everybody see the picture of the bear on the front cover of the NW Observer? Somebody down Oak Level Church Road took a picture of it in his tree! 
And here I was, hopin' it was just a rumor.....

James that is ironic. Did you Grand daddy run over anybody?
I reread that post and relize how bad my spelling is early in the morning. It is bad the rest of the day also but I usually realize it.

Jane,
he never ran over any body that I know of. He was born in 1881 and was married during WWI and took men to Knoxville to enlist as he was the only one with a car.
He was also a constable and store keeper untill about 1924 when when they all moved to Atlanta to work at The Federal Prison. He could tell some stories.

That's incredible, James. I'd be interested to hear more about this.
I'm also curious about the plaster casts of paw prints. Does this person have expertise in tracking and/or identifying animals?

| Sandra Maybe Yeti has come to Northwest Guilford county!!!!! If we have bears there is no reason to think we won't have cougars. I have heard a bobcat a couple of times at my house. I called the science center and they said they are spotted occasionaly around the lakes. Saw a cougar once at Powder Horn mountain. That was pretty cool although it was just a glimpse.
