Mountain lion sightings are no urban legend

By MORRIS STEPHENSON Edsel Edwards, a long-time resident of Sandy Level, has always believed there are mountain lions in this area. In fact, Edwards recalls his late grandfather,  H.H. Edwards, telling him about an encounter he had with a cougar as a teenager. "My grandfather was 17 at the time and he told  the story many times about being in the woods  one night when a mountain line or cougar came  out (of the woods) and started walking around  him squalling,"ﾠEdwards said. "He said he pulled out his pocket knife, (his only defense)  and watched the big cat circling him in  the light of the moon.  It finally turned and left," Edwards said.
