THE CROOKED MAN

There was a crooked man

found a 6 pence coin

twisted in a twisted style

bought a crooked cat

who caught a crooked mouse

and they all lived together

in a crooked little house

Did not know anything about what that meant; far from it, why. I was far from imagining the terrible truth that hid those little ones but it was scary just to read them.

And there was another poem or song that also scared me and said the following:

There was a crooked man who walked a crooked mile

who found a crooked sixpenny coin,

in a twisted style.

He bought a crooked cat, he caught a crooked mouse

And they all lived together in a crooked little house.

But the crooked man was sad, and once he thought

Why should it be crooked when others; were not?

It was all useless, he let out a big sigh

And he went and found a rope and tied it to the sky.

On a chair he stood, his eyes blank and dead.

Without another thought, he lunged and hung from his head.

Now the story is not over yet

for this story of myth and age

Go and hide under a sheet

there's something that hasn't been said yet

Once upon a time, there was a crooked man

who had a crooked smile,

that rang a crooked bell

and his twisted soul left

To the depths of twisted hell

And if you live his life,

he will send you on a journey.

He lives on your torment,

makes it fill with wounds

and he won't be happy

until you take your life.

According to what some people told me; the twisted man, did exist but, it was a human being who suffered from a strange disease.

His story occurred in 1840 and his real name was Vladimir Korschokof, and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. While he was in the mental hospital, he killed his nurse, and years later, he took his own life. According to what they say, several people are that the crooked man, appears from time to time to certain people, they force them to sing that song; finally, it causes them to take their own lives.

The parents of my friend, Kristen Petersen, told me that my friend was alone in her room at home; suddenly, she hears a voice that forces her to sing that song and disappears after my friend has managed to finish the song.

Also, they told me that my friend has told them that that voice that she only hears forces her to do things that she does not want to do, and she has told them (her parents) that she is very afraid of that voice.

Like my friend, she knew she was going to die, she made a video, explaining everything; after that, he heard again, the same voice that told him to kill himself and my friend did.
