[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2605368, member: 42"] I had a little pond, maybe an acre, a couple miles from the house back in the woods, in a valley behind an old folks home that used to be a state nut house (horror movie material there). My pals and I would throw gear on our bikes and trek in there with a couple packs of hotdogs and some candy bars most weekends. One night, just as the fire was dying out and we were drifting off to sleep, something, what I now know was a mountain lion, started screaming directly across the pond from us. It sounded human and at first we thought maybe some older kids had snuck down there to mess with us...but it continued and, much to my terror, moved along the edge of the pond. I don't think there's ever been a time in my life that I've been more frightened...one of the older kids finally screwed up enough courage to climb out of the tent and yell at "it". The noises stopped. Needless to say we stayed up the rest of the night with a big fire burning. We kept going back there, but we always kept a big fire going! (interesting parallel to Oklahoma, that was a time when the "official story" was that there was no mountain lions in Western Mass but everyone in town knew they were there.) [/QUOTE]
