On August 3rd, 1965, a peculiar event known as the "Cursed Leatherman" occurred in the small town of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The story goes that a group of five friends decided to go camping in the woods near the town, despite warnings from locals about strange occurrences in the area.
As the night fell, the group set up their tents and started a campfire. Suddenly, they heard rustling noises coming from the nearby bushes. Thinking it was just an animal, they ignored it and continued their conversations. However, the noises grew louder, and the friends began to feel uneasy.
Out of nowhere, a figure emerged from the darkness. It was a tall, slender man wearing a leather suit that covered his entire body, including his face. The friends were terrified and tried to run, but the Leatherman moved with inhuman speed and blocked their path.
The Leatherman spoke in a deep, guttural voice, telling the friends that they had trespassed on his land and must pay the price. He then reached into his leather suit and pulled out a small, ancient-looking book. Opening it, he began to chant in an unknown language, and the campfire suddenly grew to an unnatural height, casting eerie shadows across the clearing.
The friends watched in horror as their surroundings began to change. The trees twisted and contorted, and the ground beneath their feet turned to a thick, black sludge. The Leatherman's chanting grew louder, and the friends felt a strange force pulling them towards the fire.
Just as they thought all hope was lost, one of the friends managed to break free from the trance and grabbed a burning log from the fire. He hurled it at the Leatherman, striking him directly in the chest. The Leatherman screamed in agony and dropped the book, which burst into flames.
The spell was broken, and the friends found themselves back in the clearing, with no sign of the Leatherman or the supernatural occurrences. They quickly packed up their belongings and fled the woods, vowing never to speak of the incident again.
To this day, the legend of the Cursed Leatherman persists in Hopkinsville, with some claiming to have seen a leather-clad figure wandering the woods on August 3rd. Many believe that the Leatherman was a practitioner of dark magic, cursed to roam the earth for eternity. Others dismiss the story as a mere campfire tale, but those who have encountered the Leatherman know the truth behind the legend.
