  1. Years ago some men were playing cards in Hellfire Club. One of the men let a card drop and as he picked it up he noticed that one of the men had a cows foot. He was so frightened that he was afraid to tell the men. After playing for some time he lost his nerve and shouted out what he had seen. One of the men then jumped out of his chair and vanished. Then the man that had seen the foot dropped dead.
