This story takes 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 people 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.
