The Devil and Tom Walker

*Kidd the pirate was hanged in England after he returned for his treasure. It is said that the treasure is watched over by the devil.
*Tom Walker and his wife live a completely miserable life & they hate each other.
*One day Tom was walking through a swamp as a way home and when he was resting he found an old weapon then a man came out of nowhere and told him to leave it alone.
*Prominent people are written on trees then buried there (when the tree falls they die).
*When Tom realizes it is the Devil he doesn't care at all.
*He stamped his thumb on Tom's forehead and then vanished into the Earth.
*Toms wife wanted him to get the gold which is why he refused, he doesn't want to do anything that would make her happy. Then she set out on her own and never came back.
*He went to find his wife and found the apron hanging with a heart & liver inside of it.
*The devil & Tom agree he will become a broker and drive merchants to bankruptcy.
*After awhile though he began to feel regret and he always carried a Bible with him.
*When he shouted the devil take me now someone came to the door to get him. Once he was gone so was all of his gold and silver. His horses turned to skeletons and his house burned to the ground.
