    Neil Anderson may believe this, as well as others. I am not fully convinced they cannot take on various forms as the Bible seems silent in this area, but from the example of the Garden of Eden and the devil taking on the form of a snake, and from the book of Revelation my conclusion is that if God allows the devils & Satan to take on the form of a mythical creature he would allow it, but has kept it hidden from us.

    I do not know for sure if all stories are falsified on this Monsters and Mysteries TV show as it may be possible some of the events are true. What of my experience with a devil in the woods in 1987 when hanging around a boy attached to a UFO cult? That was not fake experience I can tell you that, and the creature and sound I heard.....

    Fall 1987

    I had a friend named Cory and his dad was formerly involved in a UFO cult and he claimed to have confessed and gotten saved, however I was not sure about that one. We attended a Weslyian church and its not like they preached hard on sin anyways but none the less God used them to bring myself, my mom, and others to salvation. Cory and his family also attended the church. Cory himself said he got saved (however I am not sure as these days he does not live for God and thinks homosexuality is not a sin). Anyways one day he came over to my house and we played Stratego, and after the game we wanted to hike into the woods for the fun of it. The California coast is full of woods and forests so an exciting adventure. We had hiked before in the forest and did not think much of this time.

    We got up to a certain point of the woods which I may not be able to pinpoint today, but times going to that location since that day in 1987 have failed to produce anything not normal. So at the road deep in the woods we walked up a hill and reached a certain point (no people no houses, nothing) and walked around. I had thought I had saw a black object moving around in the woods, but I was not sure, so maybe I was just imagining it. But it made no sense as I was not tired. We later walked down the road and a few minutes into the walk we heard a very very load roar and we jammed down the road as fast as we could all the way to my house as we were terrified. Mountain Lions do not live in that part of California, and a Bobcat is not capable of such behaviors. Besides no black bobcats exist.

    We returned to the sight the next day and a few times since that day and could not find any devil nor anything. To this day I am not sure what it was, but being in the forest isolated from people in the redwoods it may have been possible some satanists were also camping nearby as I have heard stories of them in California.

    Once in Redding, CA in 2004 I was attending a Charismatic college and behind it was a forest. We had heard of some satanists roaming the woods and their fire was scene in the horizon and we also heard the satanists had cast some spells on the Charismatic university and there was reports of some students getting sick and have bad symptoms. I however was not affected so I don't know if the satanists attacked the signs and wonders Charismatic students or what. Many students were attending a certain Signs and Wonders church and it may have been possible since they were already into satan's territory the devil used the Satanists to cast their spells and only they got sick. However that is just a theory and a speculation of mine.

    I was attending a calvinistic church and the pastor was helping me break free from the error of my background and this is the road I took that moved me from a Charismatic to a Calvinist.

    Ever hear of a black panther (not the human black activist, the cat)?

    Black panthers live all over California. In fact, they live just about everywhere west of the Mississippi.

    There have yet to be one sighted one in that area and believe me I did a search. Also explain why of all the times I was in the woods during my growing up years I did not see any? I used to play war in the woods all the time during those days.

    Also do you think all the stories on the Monsters and America TV show are faked? I believe some of it is faked, but not all of it. What do you say?
