Grin and Bear it---
Wilson and Sumner counties are for the most part suburbs of Nashville, but we had confirmed sightings of a black bear a couple weeks ago. TWRA even had a guy assigned to track it and make sure it was just passin' through. First seen in Sumner Co around Gallatin, then apparently swam across the Cumberland River ( pretty good-sized river) into Wilson Co. then headed back east. Young male black bears will travel long distances to find a place where there's food and they don't get regular butt-whoopin's from older, larger boars.
Your "phantom" was likely a real shore-nuff bear, just traveling through. Did any trash cans get rifled?
