The trail behind the church

Georgia · United States · Church

There is a path into the woods behind the church. Things run through the trees to meet you at the end of it, making a noise like a panther.

Behind this church near Tifton, Georgia a trail leads into the woods.

Walk it and you may hear things running through the trees on either side, moving to meet you at the end of the path.

The noise they make is described as being like a panther, and the account insists it is real rather than imagined.

That comparison is worth taking seriously as natural history. The Florida panther once ranged across south Georgia and the scream of a big cat is one of the most frightening sounds in the American woods, close to a human cry. Sightings of panthers in Georgia are still reported regularly and the state has never fully settled the question.

What can also be said is that a bobcat, a fox or a barred owl at night will produce noises that sound nothing like the animal making them.

The woods are private land.
