The Wizard Clip
from Cthonicist · host Svetlovska
Follow Opequon Creek to the village of Middleway, West Virginia, at the foot of the brooding Appalachians, and you will encounter The Wizard Clip - the legend of a Protestant man who in 1794 denied a sick Catholic stranger the services of a priest for his last rites. After the stranger died, it is said that candles would not stay lit in the room his corpse was, sounds of horses galloping and crockery breaking were heard, and burning embers jumped from the fireplace hearth. Sounds of heavy shears making clipping noises were heard and fabric, sheets, and boots were clipped with half-moon shapes and other figures. These phenomena are said to persist to this day.
