In fact, newspapers reported the finding of a creature in a barn in Hancock Co. that 3 vets and even a man from India who was familiar with panthers could not identify. What became of the "cub" I have not been able to find out. No one with the reported family name seems to remember it, but the details were in both the Greenfield and Anderson newspapers at that time.

There must have been more than one thing running around. The dead pigs with their hearts and livers gone sounds like cougar, they love the hearts of animals, but some of the rest could have been anything, including someone dressed up and ready to do a big foot hoax of getting shot at. okay, there were too many differing reports there.

It's flat and nearly devoid of any stretches of trees broader than a fencerow or some growth around a drainage ditch/creek. I could see cougars (or the like) hiding in the corn fields and attacking livestock though. Despite the lack of thick woods, it's very rural country, all of it. But Bigfoot? Nah. And, yeah, from the descriptions in the article, seems folks were seeing cats. So does this mean that now "Bigfoot" isn't just a generic catch-all phrase for any and all hairy bipeds but also for any and all cryptids? Maybe Loren should revise and add to his post about cryptid vocabulary and make out some "crypto style guides" to issue to reporters.

Vague old reports of something scary and furry, differing names used depending on region. This seems to somewhat parallel the article on the ‘Injun Demons’.
