10 Richard Cabelle
This man lived in Devon England during the 1600s and was apparently was a huge dirty
bag.
He would torment people in his town and abused his wife.
One night in a violent rage he struck his wife so she tried to escape, he then hunted
her down and killed her as well as her dog.
We all know what happens next.
People believed that he had the freedom to treat everyone horribly because he had made
a deal with the devil for immortality.
But he did eventually die on July 5th 1677, After he died there were reports of a ghostly
figure walking around the grave site.
This freaked out the locals so they put a giant stone slab on top of were he was buried
and surrounded the tomb with iron bars.
And its been said on certain nights you can see what looks to be a beast with glowing
red eyes lurking, the rumor is it’s Satan himself trying to clam the soul that belongs
to him.
9 The Carpenter
Tyrol Austria village in the valley of montafon, they need to pass to and from shruns
The devil is weaved into the history of so many different places.
This ancient tale comes way from the village of Tyrol in Austria.
Legend has it that the locals had a well traveled bridge that they would use to cross from their
village to the village of shruns.
After a massive flood destroyed the bridge the villagers were distressed and when to
a local carpenter for help.
They told him if he could rebuild the bridge in 3 days, they would pay him a huge amount
of money.
He new such a large task would be impossible so he asked the villagers for a day to reflect
to see if he could come up with a solution.
That night while trying to find a way to build the bridge in such a short time, he was visited
by a little man in a green hat.
I love how in these old stories a creepy dude shows up to your house in the middle of the
night and you’re just like “I wonder what he’s here for I couldn’t be anything bad.
Well the little man told the Carpenter that he would build him the bridge, He could keep
the money, the only thing the little man wanted in return is the first soul to leave his home
and cross the bridge would belong to him.
The next day the Carpenter knew this was the devil and he had a plan.
The next day he showed up at the bridge and the devil was there jumping in excitement
to get his prize.
Then the Carpenter pushed a goat onto the bridge and said here’s your soul.
You got played!
Then the legend say’s the devil took the goat and people started roasting the devil
walking around with a goat.
They were like “should have read the fine print”, “you too make a great couple”.
I love the idea of people roasting the devil.
Oooh prince of darkness can’t even trick a tradesman.
8 George Lukins
Back in the day you kind of had two options when you got sick.
You could get sicker and die, or you could go to a church and get an exorcism.
On May 31 1788 George Lukins wasn’t feeling too hot, he had started having convulsions
and it was reported that he would yell out in a voice that didn’t sound human.
So, he went to the doctor, but after seemingly trying everything the doctors couldn’t cure
him of whatever his aliment was.
So, it was time for plan b, he went to see Rev. Easterbrook to get his soul washed.
Rev. Easterbrook tried help George but it seemed that whatever was tormenting this man
was too strong just for him so he brought in 6 other priests to perform a super exorcism.
The 7 of them used their combined power too help cleanse George, during this process he
changed through 7 different demonic personalities one of which claimed to be the devil.
After this super exorcism George was cured, and probably didn’t live past 35 because
that’s just how life was back then.
7 The Codex Gigas
Would you read a book that might have been written by the Devil?
I think that one is a hard pass for me I’m going to stick to reading the back of cereal
boxes.
Well the Codex Gigas is said to have the devils actual handwriting and whoever reads it becomes
cursed.
Why would you read that, I don’t know if I believe that it’s the Devil’s handwriting
but I don’t want to be wrong just so I can get some light reading in.
The story goes that back in 1523 Ludovico Spoletano want to make the best spaghetti
ever so he summoned the devil.
Just kidding, he wanted help answering a series of questions he’d been asked.
Exam season is tough.
It’s documented that the devil possessed spoletano, grabbed a pen and started writing.
The text has never been decoded.
I bet you somewhere it says “Humans smell like updog”
6 Through the Window
This one was written by redditor gayreka.
It’s a story his father told him from when he was growing up.
He said when his dad and his uncle where younger, his uncle was a bit of a rebellious kid.
Never listened, would stay up late, draw dicks of everything.
His father told him that this was a big problem, that his uncle was constantly challenging
authority and would get in fights with their parents all the time.
Well one night the whole family here’s a blood curding scream come from the uncle’s
room, the family rushed in there and he said there was a man standing outside his window.
There father went to go check for someone but couldn’t find anything.
His uncle described the man as wearing a long trench coat and having no face expect for
glowing red eyes.
After this his uncle was apparently sweet as pie and became a respectful member of society.
So was this a devil encounter or was this a story a father told his son so he didn’t
act up.
That’s healthy parenting “we’ll scare him psychologically but he’ll be a good
kid.”
5 Michael Scott
Not the hilarious character from the office.
Michael Scott was a Scottish mathematician born in 1175 and he’s considered one of
the most brilliant men to come out of Scotland.
He traveled all through out Europe and eventually ended up in Italy.
While in Italy his brilliance didn’t go unnoticed.
He gained the attention of Emperor Frederic the second.
Frederic brought Michael into is court as his head astrologer.
But when you’re a super smart guy back then people would get suspicious.
It’s said that he could someone demons to do his bidding and he would use them to bring
him delicacies from all over the world.
That’s just where his powers started, there’s myths of him defeated a covet of witches by
turning them all to stone and its even said he changed the course of the river steeds.
What he’s most famous for though is summoning the devil to build him a road to his castle.
His father had just built a shinny new castle but what it really needed was a road.
I mean you don’t want to be the only castle in the neighborhood without a road, what would
people think.
So, he called to the devil and many demons to build a road from him, he could have just
hired contractors.
He owed the devil his soul and foresaw that the devil would kill him by dropping a rock
on his head, so he always wore a metal cap
But one day he took of his metal cap when entering a church and a rock fell on his head
and killed him.
They get you when you least expect it
4 John Dee John Dee was born in 1527 on July 13th, he
was an Elizabethan mathematician and astrologer but he was also liked do dabble in the occult.
He was into some freaky stuff.
Even though he was researching black magic behind closed door he managed to work his
way up the ranks as a man of intellect becoming the Royal astrologer for queen Mary.
However, his litter secrets caught up with him and he was arrested for heresy in 1555.
How do you get caught for that, the only way people would find out would be if you told
them?
Like how was your weekend?
Pretty good, sacrificed a goat for the dark lord.
Anyways, when he got out, he kept digging into the occult, in 1582 he clamed he had
contacted the spirit world.
People weren’t a fan of this so he had to move north to Manchester Collegiate Church.
You can go visit his office to this day and in it is a big desk with a giant burn mark
in it.
It’s said to be the devils hoof print.
I would be pissed, I put in all this work to summon the devil and he puts his feet up
on my furniture.
3 Robert Johnson
Become one of the greatest musicians whoever lived and people will start some rumors about
you.
Robert Johnson is one of the most talented and influential blues musicians who ever lived
and the big myth about him is that he sold his soul to the devil to become as great as
he did.
As the story goes, he was walking down the highway and came across a man offered him
the ability to play the blues better then anyone ever before but it would cost his soul.
Robert was like “Yeah I’ll do that”.
I mean what is a soul really, just like a concept man.
Well Robert down in history for his amazing skill and also mysteriously died at 27.
2 Niccolo Paganini
Said to be the greatest Violinist who ever lived.
It seems to be a common theme that if someone is great at something, they’ve probably
sold their soul to the devil.
No, it couldn’t be a natural gift mixed with hard work but this guy is actually lazy
and just make a deal.
Well the same speculation goes for Niccolò Paganini, He was an Italian violinist like
none other.
He was so gifted that he would surpass anyone who would try to teach him, he started touring
at fifteen and probably got hit on a lot.
Part of why people probably thought he had sold his soul to the devil is because he looked
very ghoulish.
He was tall, skinny, had pale skin, long black hair.
He was like an Edward scissor hands hot.
People would even say the could see the devil hold his violin while he played.
I think they were just jealous.
1 George Whitefield
This one is for sure my favourite George was a traveling evangelist, he wandered
around trying to get people hyped on god.
We’ve all seen these guys.
Clip 3 In 1740 George was in Ipswich, Massachusetts
and he was putting on a banger show, like people were going nut.
Apparently, the sermon was so hot and he was bashing the devil so hard that the devil showed
up and was like “You talking shit?” and George was like “Yeah I am” and fought
the devil.
This is an episode of Maury.
George then summoned some holy power push the devil out, after which to devil fell off
a cliff and landed on one foot, he’s got a plus 10 acrobatics.
It’s said that he devils footprint is there to this day.
The devil was probably at home listing to this like “Dude I don’t even know you!
Alright I’m going to smack him”
Well that’s our list.
