I am from north western ohio, Putnam county, and there were said to be sightings of "Big Black Cats" around here. Untill they claimed to say the species was a Maine Coon Cat. I meen this was a big thing, it was all over the news and everything. They were said to be attackign children out while they were playing. My grandma even sall one in the field. I went to check it out and the tracks were HUGE cat tracks. Then one day along the road i found the remains of one that was hit by a car. Then later reported it to the DNR.
