BOOJUM

ORIGIN: North Carolina and Tennessee.

The Boojum is a legendary creature in the folklore of the Great Smoky Mountains, in the border region between North Carolina and Tennessee. 

It is a tall, shaggy, human like beast, which resembles a cross between a man and a bear, with sharp edged eyes that glow and an almost human-like intelligence and reasoning ability.

The creature is believed to live deep within the dense, mist-covered forests and remote mountain hollows, always avoiding human contact but sometimes appearing to those who walk too far into the wilderness.

According to the legend, the Boojum is not just a savage beast. 

It has a fondness for two things: precious gems and beautiful women. 

Stories tell of the Boojum collecting sparkling stones and hiding them in secret caves. 

Hikers and locals also say they have seen the creature near streams or caves, sifting through the rocks as if searching for treasures.

More scary are the tales of women who claimed to have heard the Boojum's, moaning mating call (A/N: What the heck?) through the woods. 

Some say he would watch young women from afar, creeping close enough to touch them before vanishing. 

While no confirmed attacks have been recorded, women stay far away from the Smokies but…

The men go into it, hoping to see the creature so they can follow it to its lair and finds treasures worth more than a lifetime of wealth and riches.
