I grew up in Norhwest Indiana, I still see in my mind the video of a cougar I know I saw as a small child. It was just off the yard of my parents, no more than 50 ft. if even that.

I am 35 years old now, and I must have been 4-6 years old when this occurred. I even said "here kitty kitty" to it. I have always claimed this but the story was never taken seriously by family until recent possible sightings & DNA evidence where talked about in the news. Years later, I also saw a Bobcat in the area if that is of any interest.

Anyway, I know these big cats have been in the area for some time based on my experience. Now that there is acutal proof, they are a threat? Did I get attacked? Nope.
My question is, what were they the last 20 unproven years while existing ghostly in the area?
