Legend Of Evil Spearfinger And The Cherokee Who Were Guided By Celestial Beings
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - She is long gone, but the Cherokee have kept the legend of Spearfinger alive. She was an ancient, evil witch who used her supernatural powers to cause harm. No one knows how she did it, but she had a strange power over stones and could move heavy rocks that no normal man could push.
Legends of the Cherokee tell that Spearfinger outlived generation upon generation of men, hiding somewhere along the eastern side of Tennessee and the western part of North Carolina.
Spearfinger was a shapeshifter; as such, she could transform herself from an ugly, old woman into a beautiful young female. Her deadliest weapon was her sharp finger, which resembled a spear or awl, which she used to cut her victims. This is why the Cherokee called her U'tlun'ta, which means "the one with a pointed spear”.
