Have you seen the Ozark Howler?

So today I got an e-mail today from someone from The Travel Channel doing research on the Ozark Howler. They were wondering if I had contacts with people who had seen/heard or interacted with The Ozark Howler. I know a handful of you have shared stories with me about it, so I thought I would see if anyone was interested in me passing on their stories or contact information. You can e-mail me at paranormalpursuits (at) yahoo.com if you are interested or leave a message in the comments. Thanks guys!

Creature Feature: The Ozark Howler

The Ozark Howler is a large, dark-colored animal that lives in the heavily-forested mountains of the Ozarks. Most of the descriptions compare it to some sort of large cat although some people say it looks more like a small bear. It is similar in size to a panther or cougar and nocturnal. Its most distinctive feature is the strange howling sound it makes.

Most of the eye-witness accounts are from hunters and locals who claim the Ozark Howler is different from other animals in the area. If it is real, it’s most likely a real biological creature. It could be an escaped big cat or something completely new. The stories about the Ozark Howler have been passed down for several generations and continue to be told.

Do you think the Ozark Howler could be living in the forests of the Ozarks?
