The Worm-Thin Devil at Dalby

Värmland · Sweden · Sägenplats · Scare 3/5

The priest was exposed for stealing needle and thread — yet still bored a hole in the window and forced the devil to coil like a worm through it.

At Dalby it is told how the old devil came to an old woman and would not let her go, so the priest had to be fetched. The devil taunted the priest for having stolen needle and thread, which the priest admitted but said was done out of need. Even so, the priest bored a hole through the window with a needle and forced the devil to coil up like a worm and crawl out. On his way home the priest met a fine gentleman heading off to ease the back of a woman in labour, who then sped away wreathed in fire.
