Slapu
"Wild Woman of the Woods"

Stories about Slapu were often designed to impress children with the importance of correct behavior. Children that wandered into the forest, would run the risk of being captured by Slapu. She would place the captured children in a large basket and take them to her dwelling deep in the forest.

From the South Campus House Post Carvings - Dale Faulstich, Lead Carver and Designer.
Assistant Carvers: Nathan Gilles and Ed Charles. Volunteer carvers: Harry Burlingone and Don Walsh.
