Cryptid of the Day: Trotterhead
Description: Trotterhead is a folkloric monster of German-Pennsylvanian origin, but its also the name of a spirit that haunts Quaker Church Road Cemetery in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania. Anyone who disrespects graves or comes at night alone will be pushed by the being.
The Trotterhead is a spirit found in Pennsylvania. Trotterheads are said to be the spirits of or spirits sent by witches to cause harm. Trotterheads have been seen since William Penn gave religious freedom to all people in the founding of Pennsylvania. The Trotterhead is even mentioned in the book “The Hex Book of the Pennsylvania Dutch” where there is a prayer to ward them off that reads, “TO PREVENT WITCHES FROM BEWITCHING CATTLE. TO BE WRITTEN AND PLACED IN THE STABLE; AND AGAINST BAD MEN AND EVIL SPIRITS WHICH NIGHTLY TORMENT OLD AND YOUNG PEOPLE. TO BE WRITTEN AND PLACED ON THE BEDSTEAD. Trotter Head, I forbid thee my house and premises; I forbid thee my horse and cow stable; I forbid thee my bedstead, that thou mayst not breathe upon me; breathe into some other house, until thou hast ascended every hill, until thou has counted every fencepost, and until thou hast crossed every water. And thus dear day may come again into my house, in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.” Sightings of Trotterheads stil continue to this day especially in Quaker Cemetery in Perryopolis Pennsylvania on Quaker Church Road.
