Delaware Mystery Cat Sightings
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 20th, 2010
A week ago, on Friday, November 12, 2010, New Castle County Police told the media that a resident in the Mill Creek section in New Castle, Delaware, reported seeing a cougar that Friday afternoon.
Police received a call around 1:30 p.m. saying a woman reported seeing what she described as, “a big cat with a long tail,” in the unit block of Bernard Boulevard in the Quail Ridge section.
Police searched the area, but found nothing and no visible evidence of a cougar in the area.
There was also a cougar sighting reported early Wednesday morning, November 10, 2010, at the 100 block of Benham Court, near the Clearview Ridge Townhouses community.
Cougars, pumas, Eastern panthers, or mountain lions (all the same animal) have supposedly not been found in Delaware since the 1850s.

Just because wildlife officials continue to claim, “NO cougars have inhabited Delaware in more than 150 years”, doesen’t mean NO big cats are in the 1st state.
What it means is: officials refuse to acknowledge them….for there is NO shortage of excellent sightings or CONFIRMATIONS of sightings, especially in SW Kent County where in August 1999, an adult cougar (aka mountain lion, puma) was caught on video by a Burrsville, Delaware Farmer’s wife, as the CONFIRMED cougar casually walked along the edge of a field 200 feet away.
As she filmed the “non-existant cougar”, the farmer’s wife is heard asking Delaware Wildlife Officer John Rutherford “if a tiger or lion was loose, since she is taping its movement”.
Officer Rutherford & 3 other DNR officiers raced to the scene, but the “phantom cougar” was no-where in sight on arrival 23 minutes later. However its presence was 100% confirmed on videotape.
My wife Linda & I were called to the scene by Del. DNR Officers. After viewing & identifying the cat on tape, we were given a copy of it. The Delaware tape of a “non-existant cougar” remains the “centerpiece of 3 dozen+ videos or movie-film” sent to us by “shy” wildlife officials or professional witnesses since 1973.
