Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
Up the Appalachian hollows they tell of the Wampus Cat, a fearsome half-woman half-mountain-lion that screams in the night, born, the tale says, of a Cherokee woman cursed for spying on the men’s sacred hunt. Panther screams that sound like a woman in terror are real enough in this country, and they are most of where the legend lives. Told here as the mountain folklore it is.
The southern Appalachian hollows (East TN and western NC). Source: Appalachian and Cherokee folklore, told as exactly that. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
