"The Devil Foot-Print"

For I had seen the devil foot-print and had live to write about it. This story take place in Digby County, Nova Scotia And is true. This happen in the late 1930 or early 1940.

There was a short cut threw the woods that everybody use, for to save time. Now at one place in the path there was a very large rock laying across the path. This rock was to big for to be moved. So when peoples came to that rock, they just would step over it. Some peoples would even sit on the rock for awhile, if they was tired.

So anywhere this morning different peoples used that short cut for to go where ever they was going to. Then late afternoon, they all headed for home by way of that short cut.

When they came to that rock, they started to step over it, but then they seen something in the rock. So they stop and took a better look. What they saw was this. There was a "foot-print" burned into the rock. So they went home and told everyone what they had found.

So the next morning, there was a lot of peoples at this rock, to see if it was real. And sure enough, it was still there and it was a foot-print of a man. It was burned about 10-12 inches deep into the rock. Plus it was a size thirteen.

There was only one man around, that wore a size thirteen boot. Plus that man was a local black-smith to. But he deny doing it.

There was no sign of a fire there, no trees had been cut, everything was as it should be. So everyone decided that the devil had passed that way during the day and had decided to leave his foot-print in this rock.

The rock is gone now, it was moved and ship to a unknown place in the US. It is said to be in a private collection. I, myself had seen this rock and a size 13 foot print in it, so i know it was and is real.

But how it came to be, is for you to decide.

"THE LAKE OF FIRE"

This story take place many years ago, in Digby County, NS., Canada and it is supposed to be true.

One of my peoples was visiting some friends of his one night. So it got late and they all said good night and he left for home. So when he got to the crossroads, he turn to go to his place. Now only a few hundreds feet in that road, he had to stop. Why, because the ground had open up. So he then went as close as he dare to go to it and look in to the hole. It was a very wide hole and took in the whole road. So he look in and what he saw, was this.

He seen what appeared to be a lake of fire that went on for miles on end. Then he seen peoples crying for help, in the lake of fire. There was also body parts floating everywhere in this lake of fire. The peoples was crying and screaming because they was in so much pain.

Then out of the mist of this lake of fire, appear what best could be class as the Devil, himself. There was two horns coming out of the devil head and he had a long pointed tail. Plus he had a pitch fork in his hand. The devil slowly floated to the surface and look at this man. The Devil then spoke to this man by name, "John, only one more step and you will be home". The devil then held his hand out to the man, as if to say, come with me.

The man very slowly turn around and went back to where he came from, and went in the house and lay down and went to sleep. In the morning when every one got up he told them what had happen.

"THE HAND FROM THE WALL"

This story take place in Digby County, Nova Scotia Canada, many years ago.

In between the little river and the big river, closer to the little river, on the right hand site there was a logging camp. Most nights all or most of the men would play cards, till it was time for bed. So anywhere this night there was a group of them sitting around the table playing cards.

Now one side of the table was against the wall, so the men and the cook was only sitting on three sides of the table. For some reason they lay the deck of cards on the table. When all of the sudden this hand come out of the wall, pick up the deck of cards and shutter them and then deal each one of the peoples there some cards.

Everybody there look at each others and the hand. The hand had his cards in it hand. There was no arm or person behind the hand. It was only a hand. Needless to say no one there dare to play card with that hand. There all took their cards and put them in the fire. And only then did the hand go away, with the cards that he had in his hand.

From that night onward all of the peoples that was there and seen this, never played another game of cards in their life. Most of them would not have a pack of cards in the house, from that night onward.

They always said it was a hand of the devil!!
