Can anyone remember what the thing was called that we made with a tin can? We punched a hole in the bottom for a long string to dangle through, coated the string with pine resin, hid in the woods and pulled the string with a glove. Depending on the length of the string and the size of the can, all kinds of horrific sounds could be made. My Dad taught me to make one, but I forgot what he called it. I'm writing a story about one and need the name .
