A couple of years ago I heard what sounded like children crying from across the bayou near my house in Lecompte. My friends told me that the source of the weird sounds I heard that I night was probably a panther. I have to admit that the thought of a panther stalking around a mere stones throw from my house had me a little unnerved.
Now apparently there is a mysterious black panther roaming around near downtown Alexandria.
I herby christen this creature 'The Levee Lurker". (These things need to have catchy names you know.)
From UPI:
Residents in a Louisiana community are attempting to solve the mystery of reported black panther sightings in the area.
Rapides Parish residents have reported seeing a large black feline near the levee banks of Lower 3rd Street in the Alexandria area.
"We were in a tent, and heard something that sounded like a baby crying at first," witness Ken Lee told WTNZ-TV. "And then, the sound turned to something else. I saw a big black cat, and I knew to mind my business from over there."
Lee said the animal was too large to have been a domestic cat.
Photographs posted online show what appears to be a big cat's paw print next to a size 13 sandal for scale.
Some locals said they are convinced there is a black panther in the area, while others suggested the source of the sightings could be a cougar with a genetic mutation causing it to have darker fur.
Black panther sightings have been reported in Rapides Parish before, with multiple alleged encounters reported in 2013.
