  Thank you for this absolutely wonderful interview.   There are alot of unexplained  happenings even in modern times.  Many years ago I was planting flowers for my Mother.   Mom had went to the store.  I was there alone. I started to go inside the house and when I pulled the storm door open, in the glass was my Father walking behind me in the reflection.  I turned around to see Dad but he wasn't there.  I pulled the glass door open several  times to try an see Dad again, I called to him again and again, but nothing.  When  Mom came back I told her what I had seen.  I figured she wouldn't believe me, but she said she did.  Dad had been dead for several years.  I never seen anything like this again and I am 76 years old.    Some things can't be explained.  I was married and did not live there  and I came over to plant flowers for her.   I was 47 years old at the time.  God Bless  you Donnie.

  I have been a logger for 30 years, and I have always been in the woods, and I have near 100 acres that joins Rendezvous Mountains State Park in NW North Carolina that I live on. I have seen 3 panthers in my life, and 2 were black. One tried to get in our hog pen when I was a small kid, but I didn&apos;t see it, that would have been 4. I saw a black one standing on the white line one night on a local road, and a girl I was seeing at the time was with me, and she saw it too. I had one in my hayfield in front of my house one morning about 20 years ago, just as daylight was breaking, it was black. One day at work logging in Blowing Rock, near Boone, the guys that work for us, and my dad and I were eating a bite of dinner. The truck drivers were gone hauling loads, but there were still 4 of us there. We looked up the truck road through the woods, and standing in the middle of the road was a brown panther, and we all saw it. &nbsp;My friend about half mile from my house got a good trail cam picture of a brown one, and some people over in the west of the county have video of a brown one on their porch looking &nbsp;in their glass door. They are around for sure.

  I remember when I was little, visiting my grandparents in Charleston, WV. My grandfather told me before I went to sleep to be aware of bobcats or mountain lions or what not. He told me they could start hollering and it might sound just like a woman screaming or a little baby crying. I never will forget that.

  Holding my dad&apos;s hand at the hospital, knowing he would be leaving us soon, I suddenly felt the presents of those who had passed before; my mother, sister, my uncle, his parents and grandparents. I could picture them in my mind. Within moments, my dad was gone. &nbsp;1 Corinthians 2:9-10 &nbsp;“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him— these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

  Thank you, Donnie and Mr. John,for sharing these stories. <br>My husband and I were riding 4 wheelers a couple of years ago when a big mountain lion ran out in front of &nbsp;us . We&apos;ve also seen a small black panther &nbsp;.<br>I &nbsp;heard stories about a big foot spotted around this area, but thankfully, I&apos;ve never seen one. Black bears are around &nbsp;here but seldom &nbsp;seen .<br>Many thanks, Donnie .I enjoy listening to your unexplained stories and all your videos. &nbsp;God bless you and yours.
