The Hoof in the Boat Crew (Andøyneset, Salten)

Nordland · Norway · Site of legend

A boat crew at Andøyneset played cards constantly. A man who never played noticed that the stranger's one foot was cupped and round like a hoof.

A boat crew with a shed at Andøyneset would bring out the deck the moment they had a free hour. One evening a stranger came into their shed, watched a while, then joined the game. One of the men, who never played, sat at work on his provision chest and came to notice that the stranger's one foot looked strange — cupped and round like a hoof; he made an errand to the table and saw enough before the other drew his foot back, and then the man was as if blown out of the shed. After that no one offered a game of cards again.
