What is the Lil' Red Devil? It's the name that we've given to a satyr-like creature that has been spotted on Virginia's Eastern Shore. 

In Greek mythology, satyrs are mythological half-man and half-goat nature entities that roamed the woods and mountains, and were the companions of Pan and Dionysus. As with many legends, this creature may have been called by many names. For example, it also goes by such names as Trollic or "Moon Worshipper". 

The purpose of this page is to collect information on the "Lil' Red Devil". If you have seen this creature or know of anyone who has had such an experience, please send mail to: spheres at carfaxabbey dot net

• Around 3 feet tall
• Covered with reddish color fur (One account says white)
• Has a high pitched "laughing" voice
• Has a barren human-like face
• Resembles the mythical "Pan" or "Satyr"

Comments:  To whom it may concern: I recently met a man in my neighborhood, a neighbors boyfriend , .... to make a long story short, myself and the other people present at the time were speaking of strange things that had happened to us, mainly ghost stories and the like (that is what a person usually hears when asked if they have ever had a strange experience)... except for this one man, he began to tell us about a time when he was a teenager and he was with two other friends. 

They were out late, hanging out at the end of some dead end road somewhere in Virginia.  He started explaining about these two little creatures he saw walking across the road.  He said they had brownish hair on them from what he could see in the dark; they had bare human like faces and were murmuring to themselves and laughing. 

They all saw this but were afraid to say anything for fear of their parents accusing them of drug use... so he had only till this day told his girlfriend about this incident.  I of course thought this was odd. I had only heard of UFO and ghost sightings, but never this. 

I had almost forgotten about it until I stumbled over your page, and saw the Little Devil article. 

Those descriptions sound eerily like what this man described.  I now believe him just a bit more.  I would also like to know more about this creature...

p.s.  The man I spoke with was around 17 or 18 when he saw these creatures and he is now, from what I could tell, in his late 20s.  This happened somewhere in or near Lynchburg, Va.

Comments: Have you looked at those cheap drugstore paranormal books, the kind you find right at the checkout counter? No, this is no joke. I have come across mention of "the devil's footprints" in several of these books, though rarely in what you would consider more well informed and well written books.

If I recall correctly (its been a while) these footprints have been seen in more states than just VA. The story goes that its a single line of cloven prints, usually left in new fallen snow. It never stops for obstacles, but will climb straight up the sides of houses, across the thin covering of snow on ponds, up and down all manner of impossible things. The prints themselves aren't even as a usual creature would leave them, but are in a perfect straight line, one in front of the other, never deviating.

I have yet to find solid stories about this in better written books, but thus far, though cheap and abbreviated, those cheap little books on the paranormal have always told accurate stories documented elsewhere, I have yet to have reason to believe this story is any different. A friend of mine from that state told me the prints might be of those little buggers, so when I found this site, I figured I would let you know as well.
