Razor-Shins from Maine 🪒
New workers were expected to leave a jug of strong Bangor whisky outside their cabin door during the full moon. By morning, the jug would supposedly be empty, and the smell of alcohol would linger around camp. If Razor-Shins accepted the offering, he might reward the logger by felling a tree in the night or clearing part of a road with his deadly shinbones.
But the stories carried a warning.
Those who failed to leave the customary tribute were said to risk encountering Razor-Shins alone in the forest. Legends claimed he could scalp a man with a single kick or leave wounds that looked like saber cuts across the body.
