I found another Blue Ridge Parkway Creature Tale! This one is a giant in Jackson County, North Carolina.
Judaculla
There
is a rock near Cullowhee North Carolina that has strange inscriptions
on it. According to Cherokee legend these markings were the work of a
giant named Judaculla. Supposedly he lived in the region long ago.
The
name literally means, "He has them slanting", which refers to the
giant's eyes. He was awful to look at with seven fingers on each hand
and seven toes on each foot. He was seven feet tall and very ugly.
Judaculla had control of the elements and all of the game.
There
are many explanations for the markings on the rock. One involves a
fall that left impressions, in particular, a foot impression with seven
toes. Another is that Judaculla left hunting instructions on the rock
as he was the master of all game and allowed the Cherokees to hunt.
The
rock was an important focal point for the Cherokees and was the site of
religious rituals until their forced expulsion in the 19th century. It
is now an historic site that people can visit.
I found this legend on Stories from The Mountains online publication.
