Episode 26 - The Necessary Forest Demon (Ew'ha / Wampus Cat)

In this episode we learn about a Cherokee legend and a Southern US folklore cryptid. Depending on where you hear the story first you might hear it called the Ew'ha or the Wampus Cat. Either way this forest creature is formidable and brings necessary change with it. Somehow Aaron forgot to bring up the fact that it has six legs and occasionally walks on it's hind legs, no big deal, right?Click this link to check out all our socials. https://linktr.ee/dotupodcastIf you like to support this podcast financially you can become a monthly donor at patreon.com/dotupodcast.If you enjoy the podcast please tell your friends, subscribe and follow me on YouTube and all the social media platforms, and give me a rating wherever possible, but especially on Apple Podcasts.
