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; they 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 is 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.
