Indian Legends.

Pamólā [underlined] - a great giant who lives at the ends of the world and goes back and forth with a loud noise, once in every three years. He eats little children. Some of the older Indians still believe him. (Clara Francis).

The tale used to be that he lived on Katahdin & enticed a beautiful squaw to come and live with him. "True sartin sure, cause harnsome squaw she always catch 'um debble." (Springer)

Leland gives some Pamola or "Bumule" legends

But Clara Neptune says "Katahdin he man. Bumolai he diff'ent - in body, only little" (& she drew out a space on her own body of about foot long on the chest) only have leetle mitl [?] - all legs, hands. Katahdin he diff'ent - mountain was ever [?] man."
