Wampus Cat

Ok, this is how i remember this story. Grandaddy, would sit on the couch in the front room. He would tell us the story of the wampus cat.
It was real scary especially with us looking out the windows or on the front porch. Grandaddy could make it seem like it was right outside the house. Then at the end of the story he would point to the picture on the wall and say there is a picture of one.

It would be neat if whomever has this picture could scan it onto a computer and post it on this site.

Camellia says: The wampus kitty had a barbed wire tail. You made up a song about it..he's here he's there, he's everywhere, and something about it crawling up the walls. The Wampus Cat is all across the south. In Tennessee it is a cherokee maid, half woman and half cat. But in other places it's a furry scary thing. So did the sibling generation grow up with the wamput kitty tales? And JimSkinner, did the monster in the canal have red hair, green hair? And did you just make that up on the spur of the moment?****
