The Black Panthers of Piermont
As the winter season closes its icy hand around us, my thoughts turn to the oft talked about infamous black panthers of Piermont. Yes, the very beasts that had villagers clamoring at Town Board meetings with pitch forks and torches. Some crying for their heads on a pike, others wanting to abandon the town as not to disturb these mythical predators (forgetting the fact that the purported panthers were invaders from a foreign land). Why did all the supposed sighting take place in the spring and summer months? Now that a snow cover would provide irrefutable proof positive of their existence, they are nowhere to be seen! Could it be that panthers migrate, or maybe hibernate? Come to think of it Bigfoot and the New Jersey Devil also make themselves scarce during the winter time. Maybe they all hang in the Bahamas for the holiday season. Now the Abominable Snowman; that’s a different story, but then again, who else is hiking the Himalayas in the winter.
