What they are probably seeing is a cougar, The Florida panther is actually a cougar. I have seen them in Mississippi , they pretty much range all over the U.S. Mountain lion,cougar and puma is the same animal, different areas call them different names. Type in Florida Panther and click on classification and the info you find will bear me out.

I used to live in the country. The area was fairly new and close to the woods. At night I would hear a cry , sounded like a baby. Well, I early morning my two ducks were mauled to pieces. We checked the prints and they matched the prints of a panther. It is to my understanding that panthers usually stay in a certain area unless the food source is low. So, it might not be unsual to see a pantherin your area.
