I live where you are talking about. No bears around here, no bear signs at all. Absolutely no grizzlies for hundreds of years. The beavers were relocated years ago. There are more bigfoot sightings than bear sightings. Be truthful.

is it going to be Christian miracles only? would be cool to include miracle makers and mystics from the far east as well not to mention pre-Christian European mystics...
