Karri Peifer notes there’s a long tradition of Virginians mistaking house cats for cougars, but in this case officials have physical proof casting doubt on the domestic moggie hypothesis. Might this be a phantom cat, or evidence of cougars returning to the Old Dominion? Further north in yankee territory, Lake Pepin Town Hopes Its Own Loch Ness Monster Draws The Curious. We’re thinking the reward of $50 grand is an even bigger draw, forteana or not. If you don’t believe, there’s more than a few books covering Pepie’s history and a face-to-face encounter by a local diver. Another book to pack on your expedition comes from Tea Krulos, and our pal Loren Coleman Reviews Monster Hunters. Monster Hunters profiles… well… monster hunters, rather than solely focusing on the elusive critters hiding at the fringes of the forests. Not to mention a ton of insight on the method to their madness, and the clues of these critters being flesh and blood rather than sheer imagination. (CS)
