So I saw this in Uncle Otto's Truck and looked it up. There are some that say it is just a made up word by SK or the Micmac Indian "boogeyman". Was wondering if anyone knows the real story behind this or if it's just made up.

...the genesis of the "name" may be from a short story written by Eric Frank Russell. The story, published in 1955, is called "Allamagoosa," which is a nonsense word that one would call something when you don't know what it's actually called...or a derivative ...possibly even a corruption of a'qîti-mntuit Animate Intransitive Verb meaning demidevil....
Well that stinks I wanted to run around warning everyone about it then not tell them it was the Micmac boogeyman... People saying what the hell is he talking about...sad face
