i doubt it, his truck got damaged which i saw.it happened at night, his bro-inlaw was with him. i dont see why i wouldnt belive it. even if it wasnt true do honestly think its that far fetched that west VA is one of the most remote states in the country and it certainly could hold an animal like that. there have been reports and confirmed sightings in many states including illinios,iowa,nebraska,penn,west va. and sightings popping up all over the mid-west and eastern states...the same thing is true for black bears
