Entry 6578

Volume 4 · printed page 3085 · Newport News, Va., informant from, when I was stay- ing at Old Point Comfort, Va.

I knew an old man when I was a child who had a little lizard or some- thing in his leg. They say it would run up and down his leg. He could cut with his razor and when it would come down he would cut ahead of them and it would run out. It was a little scorpion or ground puppy or something. Someone put it in his leg.
