I'm From Appalachia — The Wampus Cat Is Not a Mountain Lion, and the Old Folks Knew It

🐾 Everybody says it was just a mountain lion. The people born on these ridges had a different word for it, and they had a word for the mountain lion too. 🌲 In this one I tell you what the old folks actually described, the forgotten mountain word for the panther, what really happens in the throat of a big cat to make that scream, and why the famous "cursed Cherokee woman" origin story you have read online does not hold up. 🔦 Stay to the end for my honest answer about my granddaddy's word. 🔔 Subscribe if you would rather see this old mountain knowledge passed down than buried with the last of us. #appalachia #folklore #wampuscat Se quiser, faço uma versão mais curta ainda (duas linhas) para testar qual segura melhor o clique no mobile.
