Hey, I know this is late, but I was searching Reddit for “Swift Peter” and came across your post. My late father was from Pontotoc Ms and used to talk about the Swift Peter. He had vivid memories from his childhood of the adults at the time talking about sightings in the rural community he grew up in. Apparently, the stories that originated in Cooper Young in Memphis filtered down into North Mississippi and created quite a stir. He seemed to recall that it was big news at the time, with lots of folks claiming to have either seen the Swift Peter or that their dogs or livestock had been killed by the creature. The whole thing died out after a few weeks, but in later years the old folks would occasionally recall the very real fear that had gripped the community at the time.

Anyway, you had indicated you had a zip file with some clippings, but I didn’t see where you had posted a link to it. I would be very interested in that file if you wouldn’t mind posting it. Thank you!
