The Chatawa Monster of Mississippi

The chatawa monster of mississippi is said to be a big foot, hairy creature that makes noises and is glimpsed at the edge of the woods in wandering through the swamps around chattawa. The old illinois central railroad and the proximity it has to the tangippaho river and swamps plays heavily into the legend. There's kramer's lodge, which used to have an animal sanctuary. And curiously, playing prominently into the legend is the old saint mary's school.
