My friend, Chatter, and a hiking buddy of his heard what he claimed to be the call (scream, whatever) of a panther when they were camped near Goose Pond shelter earlier this year. They scouted around and found some large scat (actually, it looked like an oversized furball) which he brought home in a plastic bag and showed to me. He is unsure as to which authority he is to show it to, afraid that it might just "disappear" due to concerns of starting a panic or vigilante response, causing widespread fear or a "lynching" of the animal (if it does, indeed, exist).
