DATE:    1955-56 
 

TIME:     PM
 

LOCATION:   Rankin County, Mississippi  
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded 
 

OBSERVED:    This was told to me by my Dad, so it is second hand info- I didn't witness it personally. After my Dad got out of the Marine Corps and back from Korea he liked to get away from people periodically and just relax.  The best place he knew to do this was at his Grandfather's place, a hand built stone house about 5 miles outside of present day Brandon. No one lived there at the time, as his Grandfather had passed on years prior to this.  He went out there to relax and clear his mind.  Anyway, one night he went to an area about 50 to 75 feet from the house where they used to burn trash, which is what I think he was doing also.  After just a few minutes he said he heard a sound like a woman being murdered just a few yards from where he was standing.  He didn't hang around one second longer and ran back to the house.  He always attributed it to a panther, but none have been ever sighted around here since the 1930's.  Back then the area was considered WAY out in the country but now with progress its only a couple hundred acres of woods here and there, very spotty.  I don't know if it was a BF or not but it probably is no longer around the way the area has grown in the last 30 years, also there are so many good ole boys hunting I'm sure it would have been shot if it was hanging around, but no one has EVER killed a panther around there to my knowledge.
 

Activities of Witness:   Hanging around the old homestead after the Korean war relaxing, burning trash at night.
