As I am working on a horror wip at
this time, I found this old folktale and rewrote for your Supernatural Friday
of Memorial Day Weekend enjoyment. As
you go camping this summer, maybe even this weekend, it is spooky tales like
this that are told around the campfire. Let's restart a tradition and get that fire going in the woods or at the beach, and tell spooky stories.
Once upon a time an old woman went
out in the woods. She planned to dig up roots to cook for dinner. Suddenly, she
spotted something funny sticking out of the leaves. Digging around it, she discovered
it was a great big hairy toe. Now it came to her that there was good meat on it
and it might make a tasty dinner, so she stuck it in her basket and took it
home.
Back at her cottage, the old woman
boiled hairy toe soup in a kettle. That night she had the soup for dinner. The
old woman went to bed that night with a full stomach and a big smile.
Around midnight, a cold wind arose
and blew in the tops of the trees around the old woman's house. A large black
cloud crept over the moon and from deep in the woods a hollow voice called out,
"Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!"
Inside the house, the old woman
stirred uneasily in her bed and nervously pulled the covers up over her ears. She
forced herself back to sleep.
Something stomped from the woods as
the wind whistled and jerked at the treetops. In the clearing at the edge of
the forest, the same hollow voice said: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my
hairy toe!"
Inside the house, the old woman
shuddered and turned over in her sleep.
A, stomping sound stopped outside the
cottage. The night creatures shivered in their burrows as a hollow voice
howled: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!"
The old woman snapped awake and with
her heart pounding and her stomach clenching, she leaped out of bed, she ran to
the door and barred it. Knowing her cottage was secure, she lay back down to
sleep.
The front door burst open with a
bang, snapping the bar in two and sending it flying into the corners of the
room. The sound of giant feet stomping up the stair came to the old woman’s ears.
Shaking, she peeped out from under the covers. A massive figure filed her
doorway. "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!"
The old woman bolted upright and screamed:
"I ATE your hairy toe!"
"Yes, you did," the giant
figure said as it advanced into the room. It grabbed her.
No one living in the region ever saw
the old woman again. The only clue to her disappearance came from a giant
footprint pressed deep into the loose soil of the meadow beside the house. The
footprint was missing the left big toe.
