Jumlin: Religious lore and Shamanism of the Lakota Sioux, Cherokee and Black Foot Nations- A medicine man who called forth an evil spirit to help his barren wife conceive. Upon entering this realm the spirit which fed off the blood of the living possessed Jumlin, the medicine man. He was very cruel and killed all the men in the tribe. When his wife bore child, he took his son and fled. Soon they created more like themselves and still walk the earth today. Another story says the Jumlin tricked a Medicine Man to bring him across into this world by making him promises and by veiling most of his power. This cruel creature then possessed the medicine man and began feeding upon the blood of living things, first forest animals, then horses, then people. His power grew and he became voracious. Finally in the throes of one of his dreadful feeding frenzies some warriors managed to kill him. But a son he begat with a human woman escaped. This son shares his father's nature and they all still walk the earth.
