| 0:00.0 | Okay, how's everybody just a real quick video here? |
| 0:17.8 | I got a message on Facebook from someone who follows my page or who's liked my page |
| 0:25.0 | and they posted a series of articles on a some kind of creature down in Smith County, Mississippi. |
| 0:33.0 | This caught my attention and it's a whole series of articles and I thought I'd just share it with |
| 0:38.1 | you guys. The name of the publication is the morning call. I don't know where that paper was |
| 0:44.7 | based out of but the first article was issued on September 1st, 1929 on a Sunday and the big |
| 0:54.3 | headline is Big Posse will seek wild woman this morning. So I'm just going to start at the first |

| 1:51.2 | limitation to our laurel friends to come out and join us in this hunt. Marshall Blankney stated. |
| 1:58.0 | Quote we intend to comb the swamp where she is reported to be until we find her. |
| 2:04.2 | The Marshall continues on. We will begin our search. We will not use dogs to track her down. |
| 2:10.4 | But should it become necessary in order to locate her? We will probably secure some good |
| 2:15.7 | hounds. Some of this is real faded on the article, so I'm having a strainer read it. |
| 2:22.4 | The search for the wild woman reported to be inhabiting the swamps near Taylor'sville |
