About 15 years ago, there was also a spate of mountain lion sightings in Delaware County, Pa..
In the early 1980s, a fisherman in Crum Creek in Newtown Township thought he saw a tiger. He threw down his rod and reel, a wade a mile through the creek to a road where he flagged down a car to take him to the police station where he reported it. Police investigated with shotguns at the ready. They found the “tiger” to be a striped great dane.
