The Witches of Picnic Point
Several Indian families were long ago living on Picnic
Point in peace and comfort. Then the witches came. They carried away
some of the small children. They fed them and fattened them and ate
them. The Indians were very sad over the loss of their children, and
they prayed to the Earthmaker to help them.
Earthmaker caught the witches and restored the children to their homes.
He transformed the witches into hackberry trees and placed them near
the end of Picnic Point. There they must stand forever more because of
their wrongdoing. When the Wind Spirit comes, they wave their limbs,
moan, and ask to be released. When the winter comes one can see twists
of witches' hair at the end of their branches. They must stand where
they are forever.
