184 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 drunk. The man came to, a little. "What's happened to me? [Why] do I feel wet?" he said. He touched his head when the Spook left. "Eh, but this is terrible! It's probably a horrible devil taking me off to his house or to his cave," said the drunk. He waited 'til he came to a little. His hair was wetted down. He pretended not to move. He felt how cold [the Spook's] horrible hand was, how [his head] kept being touched and lifted up. He just waited for [the Spook] to go away. Then he rushed off home. He went to his house. He arrived home. His house was unlocked. He arrived. "Wife, I'm not at all well. I almost died. Don't you see, the Spook would have taken me off if your house weren't unlocked. He was following right behind me." Oh, the Spook knocked on the door. He knocked on the boards. He kept picking up the hens. He kept picking up the chickens. He shook the chickens off the peach tree. And the chickens were squawking now. But you see all the chickens flew off. The woman noticed, when it dawned the next day, that the hens were lying about, some of them wounded. The sun set. Maybe it was at dusk. She finished putting her chickens in her house. [The Spook] looked for the house. He tried to open it. He tried to look in the house on the second night. The same thing happened. But now it was the dog he hit. They had a pig. He came and pulled their pig along. He was going to tie the pig up somewhere else. "But, husband, our pig has gone!" [she said]. "It probably hasn't gone. It's the disgusting devil who is bothering us. [He'll stop] after the three nights are up. Don't be scared," said the man. "Never mind, if it's just a pig it can be replaced. If it's just a chicken it can be replaced. But if it's me who dies, me who goes, then there will be no one to come prepare the food for your chickens and pigs. But so long as I'm alive, never mind!" he said. "In the end you'll see." At daybreak after the second night they saw a puddle of blood by the door. Who knows if it was just the dog's blood or what. Their dog was not there at dawn. You see, the dog had gone to the stile. The dog was curled up there asleep. But one of its ears was hurt. You see it was because [the Spook] had cut off its ear. Who knows what use it was to him. You see, the dog's ear had traveled this far from the stile. The dog's ear was lying there. "It's clear that he's the one who is bothering us, but he'll go. He must have a house somewhere," said the man. On the last night he readied his gun, he readied his stave. He looked to see if [the Spook] had arrived.

Spook] arrived, but there wasn't much he could do. He seemed to be looking for chickens. There was only that little hen. Their hen had one chick now. The woman hadn't remembered to collect her eggs. There were two. [The Spook sucked them], drank them up. He left. He left when the three nights were up. "Stay there, you bastard! You don't want company, you don't want to talk [to me]," said [the Spook]. He left. The three nights were up. "Forget it!" said [the Spook]. I don't know if it was three or four months later when he came back again. They went outside [to go to the bathroom]. [Ordinarily] we go outside late at night, it seems. That little boy [of theirs] said, "Mother, come feel what this is! A horrible freezing hand is touching my back. Come see what it is!" he said. "How could it be, stupid!" she said. [His] mother was carrying a torch. But [his] mother came [back]. It wasn't anywhere. She didn't see anything. But you see, something that looked the size of a cat went inside the house. But it was that Spook! Then they saw him. He was big when he was inside the house. He was big. His hat was big. Only his horrible face was black. "Oh, why did you open the house and let [the Spook] come in?" asked [the man]. "Never mind, don't worry! I'll get him out. I'll send off a bullet. You'll see!" said the man. Quickly he loaded his gun. [The Spook] was going around inside the house. He loaded his gun. He fired at [the Spook]. [The Spook] was impaled on a pole at the door. He grabbed that pole by the door and stumbled out. That horrible Spook was terribly scared. He fled away. But he frightened that little boy. "Mother, a devil caught me. I don't know what it is. A freezing cold hand is touching me," he said. [The Spook] left. But time was running out for him. He arrived to scare them, but at particular times. He didn't arrive every day anymore. He longed to carry off one of the people for company perhaps, because I think he hadn't any friends. He left. He picked himself up and left. Two months later [the man's] compadre arrived. "I just don't know what to do, compadre. A devil went and kept chasing me at Toch'," he said. "But didn't he do anything to you?" asked [the other]. "It was still hard for me to escape from [the Spook] at Toch'. It was still hard for me to come back. At least I remembered the way home. I came to, it seems, when he kept lifting my head.
