I like this one too, starts off like some kind of sick lullaby and spins into a nightmare but it cut off too soon!
I really like the theme to this one! Sounds great!
Cool! Place kinda reminds me of the Flaming Mug in Fayetteville, NC. 🤘😎🤘
It was a dive for sure but we loved playing there. I forgot I even had this that my wife filmed just for us to be able to review how some of the new songs at the time sounded live. Glad I found it!
@ what a coincidence that I also play the bass. I started playing in rock bands in the late 70’s…I always had a blast. You guys sound good.
@@82ndairbornevet thank you! I wish e had a soundboard mix of this. There are some studio songs from Drachen here as well.
Joe Rogan saw one in Texas and he knows animals as good as anyone
Man..those big horn sheep are some beautiful and majestic animals!
Amen🙌🏼 Perfect Love casts out fear.
Big shout out to Mrs. Wilson! She was also my favorite teacher in high school (I'm sure we've discussed that before). She was one of those teachers that genuinely cared, God bless her.
Well said. Jesus died for us. Amen
Amen😊
i just saw one last week. N.H. thats all im saying about location. no shit, i dont lie. PITCH BLACK LONG TAIL ON IT. might have been a black cougar but it was black. i cant tell you how to find the pictures but there were pictures taken sometime this summer in n.h. posted on facebook. i was going to shoot it but later looked it up and although cougars, catamounts, mountain lions etc. are not verified in n.h. they are protected as endangered. doesnt make sense to me but i have to refrain. not that i just want to kill im just sick of people reporting sightings and not being acknowledged. i believe there are more than we realize but our forest and wildlife management want to keep a secret by denying, a dead one is concrete proof. i will watch your series.
Been to louisiana much?
Ive seen a black cougar in southern manitoba...i swear up and down. And ive heatd others say the same thing around here. There is nothin else it could have been. Its way to cold here for other big cat species here
I only count three cougars.
@@jordancampbell8597 look closely on the backside of you will see its eyes
Of course their escaped pets. Every one here in Missouri has one caged in their back yard!
There has been rumors and apparent sighting of large black cats/ Panthers over the last 200 years in the Australian bush too!
I saw a black panther in Mississippi on highway 6 outside clarksdale Mississippi, I was driving my 18 wheeler for port city trucking at 445 am it was as wide as my truck with its tail, pure black but under its coat it’s yellow with black circles, I was doing 60 mph as it crossed in front of my truck with my bright lights on. It was in 2014
Freddy is my favorite
I totally agree with this ranking!
Awesome! It's fun to think about this stuff and figure out rankings etc.
@@thechestermoore Also, we look forward to seeing you at Jefferson. We have more books for your WW kiddos, too!
@@amyluvscoffee that’s awesome!
There was a stroy few years back where a little girl was on a boat. I think Florida and a gar jumped and landed on top of her in the boat and she passed away from her injuries very dangerous fish all together
Dang! That was crazy bro…good thing you let go of that gaff quickly! My only harrowing experience while fishing was when I was surf fishing once on Dog Island Florida and I had to get out of the water quickly to avoid a shark. I’m not sure whether it was just being curious or if it was coming after me, but I didn’t stick around to find out 😅
Great story
Hey Brother!! Let's catch up soon
@@TEXSFRONTPORCH sounds good!
That’s a for real close call be safe Chester
@@garrykendrick4722 thanks brother! It was a wild situation for sure.
As a id I saw what I though was a black dog running across the road at a camp ground in coastal Texas. It was at dusk. The camp ground keeper told my father it was a black panther who would not bother you. My mother said she knew it wasn't going to bother her because she was going to rent a hotel room. She did.
This is definitely a n interesting topic and could be a possibility in some of the remote areas of our national park areas, because there are places that humans haven’t set foot on in a century or longer probably. We have some vast national parks.
Sad to hear Rob passed. I once heard him back in the day on Art Bells overnight America radio show discussing the mysterious Bragg road in Texas.
@@ketchum6381 I hadn’t spoken to him in a few years and then me and my dad had lunch with him and he died about six months later. He was a great guy!
Coydogs have been a problem in Ohio since I was a kid. But they are pretty gun shy and stay out of rifle range where we live. Our Coyotes are big though too. We have some 60+ pounders out there Luckily there is no closed season or limits. Only real restrictions are deer season when you have to use the same guns and ammo as is legal for deer.
The fact that there are no good pictures of any large black members of the cat family from trail cameras and that no hunter has ever shot a big black cat in the United States and taken a picture of it puts it right in the same category as bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster- the stuff of fables.
Strange sightings happen and getting hard evidence would take a great commitment. I appreciate you take on this as being well thought out. I am a forester of 40yrs in the field with many strange sightings of my own. 1) a very long body, tall stature, black, long tail cat crossing the road about 300 feet ahead of me in an agricultural setting. 2) A cat which I instantly, and confidently identified as a bobcat not more than 50 feet in front of me ...and then began questioning myself because it was; 1) black (or extremely dark) and 2) had a tail nearly as long as it's body!
It's an interesting topic for sure! Thanks for your kind words!
They did blow Jason up in Friday the 13th part IX Jason goes to hell, right in the very first 5 minutes of the movie.☠️
I mentioned that at 1:19
@@thechestermoore I totally missed that…lol, I just thought that was all part of your fantasy of taking out Jason. 😂
@@82ndairbornevet no worries!
I’m in southern cali Sylmar to be exact and seen a cane corso sized black cat , can just imagine what else is out there
It was definitely creepy out there!
You’re brave being out at night in Texarkana. Modern-day predators infest that town.
You’re brave stopping in Texarkana - day or night!
Very interesting, because we have exactly the same phenomenon in the UK, people claiming that they have seen big cats in the British countryside and a high percentage of sightings are of what people always call "Black Panthers" and the media frequently produce articles on new sightings, but almost every single accompanying photo that I've seen and every video that I have seen, and they are almost always taken using a phone, quite clearly shows a black domestic cat, except one video of black dog, likely a Labrador. Yet the people I would call true believers, just flat out refuse to accept, that people are just really rubbish at judging the size of animals that they see. We shouldn't have any big cats at all in the UK, our largest native British cat was the Eurasian Lynx but it has been gone for over 1000 years, we have a tiny population of European Wildcats known as Scottish Wildcats here, because Scotland is the only place that they weren't exterminated, they look like tabby house cats, but a bit larger and more powerful, there were for a while some black ones, known as Kellas Cats, but when one was killed, genetic analysis, showed it was a hybrid with a domestic cat. I've seen wild cat species of all sizes around the world, so I am complete non-believer when it comes to accepting that there are breeding populations of big cats in the UK, if there were it would not be difficult to find the evidence and prove it.. One issue here and in the US, is that the minute you question someone and suggest that they didn't see a big cat, they either think you are accusing them of lying or that you think they are stupid, because how could anyone confuse a house cat for a big cat, yet the numerous videos (excluding hoaxes) suggest that people make this mistake all the time. An excellent video on the Oklahoma Department of Conservation website, illustrates this extremely well, using cutouts of domestic cat, a bobcat and a mountain lion, to show that an alleged mountain lion photo, they were sent, is just of a house cat.
the puma family of cats are the true panthers and they do not come in black
I saw one of these animals on my property, at dusk, in the northern hills of Prescott, AZ, in the summer of 2014. I didn't know what it was then, but I was very excited to see it. It was elusive and walked quickly across the back, avoiding any contact. I had a clear view of its details as we were sitting on a 2nd floor deck, and I said them out loud to my mother, who was sitting on the deck with me, so I wouldn't forget them. I told my husband about it. I knew it wasn't anything I'd ever seen. I described it to an educator friend at our local zoo, and she had no clue what it would be in our area. It was several years later when my husband showed me an article about it in Arizona Highways, though they said they were only in Southern Arizona. I immediately knew it was what I had seen. My mystery cat finally had a name. It was one of those moments when you realize you are seeing something rare and special.
It was great listening to this again. I was at that Monster Fest sitting in the front row. We spoke briefly and you told me about Sam Houston National Park. I enjoy your podcast, it is quite informative.
thank you so much! I appreciate you following my work. I certainly put my heart and soul into it.
I've seen jaguarundi 1 in north Carolina and 1 in south Carolina about a year ago the same day, I'm 💯 positive. It looks exactly like a small mountain lion
We had a black Jaguar in north Phoenix in Az last year
Currently I'm in Horry County South Carolina. I observed two black in color cats the size of a dog with tails just as l9ng as their bodies if not a bit longer. This happened earlier this morning, I have no puctures
When you'll stop calling felines "panthers" instead of their correct names, there will be less confusion.
Stop that nonsense black panther bs.
There is no proof of the existence of black pumas. That's a fallacy, useless video.
ha, ha. look it up before you make that statement. in many to most states they are not verified to exist, BUT, are protected as an endangered species. sometimes somebody doesnt want us to know. maybe causing panic, hunting panic, whatever. do you really trust the law that much as to take a biologists say or someone who has friggen eyes. i saw one last week, long tail, pitch black. and i dont care who believes me.
The ones we have here in missouri are 2 hundered pluse lbs
There tail is long as hell
Hi. I know many people will say we didn’t see what we saw, but my coworker and I were working just northeast of Wonowon, BC. We were driving back to camp the other morning after a night shift when I saw what I thought was a small black bear facing us on the road about 300 meters ahead. I said, “Hey, look, a bear!” As it turned to jump into the bush, we both saw that its tail was nearly as long as its body. My coworker said, “No way, a black panther!” It was a huge cat-like creature, but literally as tall as a small black bear. It was gone before we could get a picture, but there was no mistaking what we saw. The way it jumoed into the bush… It wasn’t foggy; it was bright out for 6:30 a.m. I said to him that no one would believe is but we both saw it
Bullshit house cats eyes don’t glow or tail like 7 ft long saw different in harts creek wv
He's full of shit!!!!! People know colors!!!! They are black!!!!!! Stop the bullshit.
I grew up in Mississippi. I lived in McComb, Mississippi for a while. My school mascot was the jaguar. Every one would talk about the black jaguars we had, and everyone had stories of seeing them. I remember being 7, and me and my sister heard a roar like a lion. We just knew it was one of those black jaguars. McComb is closer to Louisiana. So I think it’s interesting that Jaguars have been spotted in Louisiana. Also, if jaguars like water, it would make sense they would be near the Mississippi River. However, I think you’re spot on with the long tail theory. That’s brilliant. I think the “black panther” phenomenon is the natural evolution of the feral cat. Mississippi is a poor area with a big feral cat population. It makes sense that the biggest darkest ones would thrive in the wild. I believe people notice these long tails more, because they want to believe they are melanistic jaguars. I’m sure there have been rare instances of jaguar sitings in southeast America in the 1900s. However, I believe the majority of present day sitings are extremely large black feral cats.
