The Wampus

The Wampus
Location: Various Regions throughout Appalachia

According to ancient Cherokee legend, a woman hiding under a mountain lion skin, snuck into a male only ritual. She was discovered by either tribal elders or a medicine man. Upset they punished her and turned her into a half woman half feline beast cursed to roam the dark mountain woods forever. Appalachian settlers adopted the legend and continued to pass it on. Over time claims of sightings began to arise. Some sightings tell of the original half-woman, half-feline creature, while others tell of a supernatural panther or mountain lion with glowing yellow eyes. While the appearance varies all stories tell of an eerie, human-like shriek that emits a sound so loud it echoes through the dark woods. The Wampus has been blamed for untimely livestock deaths and has served as a warning about why you shouldn't go into the Appalachian woods at night.
