Dancing with the Devil: From Scary stories at Americanfolklore.net

A Texas Ghost Story

retold by

S. E. Schlosser

The girl hurried through her schoolwork as fast as she could. It was the night of the high school dance, along about 70 years ago in the town of Kingsville, Texas. The girl was so excited about the dance. She had bought a brand new, sparkly red dress for the dance. She knew she looked smashing in it. It was going to be the best evening of her life.

Then her mother came in the house, looking pale and determined.

"You are not going to that dance," her mother said.

"But why?" the girl asked her mother.

"I've just been talking to the preacher. He says the dance is going to be for the devil. You are absolutely forbidden to go," her mother said.

The girl nodded as if she accepted her mother's words. But she was determined to go to the dance. As soon as her mother was busy, she put on her brand new red dress and ran down to the K.C. Hall where the dance was being held.

As soon as she walked into the room, all the guys turned to look at her. She was startled by all the attention. Normally, no one noticed her. Her mother sometimes accused her of being too awkward to get a boyfriend. But she was not awkward that night. The boys in her class were fighting with each other to dance with her.

Later, she broke away from the crowd and went to the table to get some punch to drink. She heard a sudden hush. The music stopped. When she turned, she saw a handsome man with jet black hair and clothes standing next to her.

"Dance with me," he said.

She managed to stammer a "yes", completely stunned by this gorgeous man. He led her out on the dance floor. The music sprang up at once. She found herself dancing better than she had ever danced before. They were the center of attention.

Then the man spun her around and around. She gasped for breath, trying to step out of the spin. But he spun her faster and faster. Her feet felt hot. The floor seemed to melt under her. He spun her even faster. She was spinning so fast that a cloud of dust flew up around them both so that they were hidden from the crowd.

When the dust settled, the girl was gone. The man in black bowed once to the crowd and disappeared. The devil had come to his party and he had spun the girl all the way to hell.

It was fine. I guess. It would have been better though if there was more of a plot.

Posted by: Kim | July 23, 2010 02:13 AM

thats not exactly how it ended but it was best they didnt include the real ending its so horrifying and they cut out some of the story.
but I'll give you a glimsp of the real ending.
when she was dancing with the devil(handsome guy) she looked at his feet and one was a leg of a goat and the other of a rooster.
thats when she then screamed and the devil pulled away from her;and when he disappeared a stench of sulfur was left behind,and the people at the halloween dance stormed for the door. Some of the brave people went outside and called the police .... the girl ends up in hospital with 2nd degree burns, where the devil placed his hands on her. When he was dancing with her and also when she went to the bathroom there in the hospital and looked in the mirror she saw his face (the devil) and later they called the priest. to come and pray for her and story goes on that later she died im not sure if it was at the hospital or at her house.

Posted by: injia | October 17, 2010 04:23 AM

Here I stand, helpless and left for dead.

Close your eyes, so many days go by.
Easy to find what's wrong, harder to find what's right.

I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.

I won't stay long, in this world so wrong.

[Chorus:]
Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight?

Trembling, crawling across my skin.
Feeling your cold dead eyes, stealing the life of mine.

I won't last long, in this world so wrong.

[Chorus]

Hold on. Hold on.

Goodbye.

this is so true which you are so can dancing with the devil, becasue i remember when i went to the grand night at Disneyland i dance with 4 boys for the whole night in the dark side with the others. After that night, it was the morning and i couldn't awake 'cause i was so tired, so i went home and took 3hrs nap. After my 3hrs nap, i went to shower and i saw two bick marks on my left arm, but i couldn't remember thogh where did i get this from. It took me for 3months to wait for them to be gone. So whoever was writing this story, i believe that u reminde me about this so thank u n whoever said it's not true f... u then because it is true i'm sorry but it fricks me out, its true!

Posted by: Zeina | October 27, 2010 01:08 AM

Yes, This Legend I regret to say is not a legend. It Happened on 3 known accounts here in the San Antonio Area, On the West Side, Old Hwy.90 to be exact. The Final account to my recollection was at a neighborhood Bar/Club/DanceHall whatever you want to call it known as " El Cameroncito" which moved twice not far from it's original Haunt. I am a Local Dj and I will Tell you, the location itself was very dark, gloomy & Creepy. Since I was in elementary school growing up here in the area I never saw anyone renting that Venue out for anything whatsoever. It's a Gentleman's club now (Ironic, huh?) "The Devils Playground". If You ever Come Around to San Antonio, Just ask any person on the far west side about the Legend of " El Cameroncito" and most will tell you the exact same story.

Posted by: scarlette | November 1, 2010 05:23 PM

Actually she was supposed to be the most beautiful girl of all. She was conceited. And the mom told her if she didn't stop being conceited that something bad would happen. Her mom begged her not to go to the dance, but she went anyway. Then so on and so on with the ending of the sulfuric acid and she was left there on the floor with burn marks and burn marks of a goat and rooster on the floor walking towards the exit. I was told she died there. And supposedly there was two other dances on the same night in Mexico and somewhere else. And three girls died that night at the same time the exact same way the first girl died

being religious and believing in thedevil, i thought it was scary.

Posted by: Anonymous | March 14, 2011 05:26 AM

sounds like something a drunk man listening to country music all night would tell. it would be good for me to forget that one.

Posted by: allen moon | March 16, 2011 10:48 PM

The true story was said earlier on these comments i heard this story when i was little and i remember that she was wearing this beautiful red dress like it says and that all eyes where on her and that the most handsome guy on the dancefloor had asked her to dance as they danced and danced away she felt burning hot around her arms as she stopped and looked at her hands and saw they had thay guys hands marked on her as she panicked she looked down and saw a foot of a goat and one of a rooster...not shure if she died,not shure if the guy(devil) took her,or if she went to the hospital all i know is from what my family members have told me is that it's true hope someone can find out what happened to her after that...good luck

Posted by: lucy | March 17, 2011 03:05 AM

Posted by: Clara | March 17, 2011 08:12 PM

Posted by: frootloop | July 13, 2011 03:47 PM

That is a really old story. A different version. The comments from others told it a little more accurately ... somewhat.

Posted by: Anonymous | July 14, 2011 12:20 AM

dang that was so awesome

Posted by: Anonymous | July 20, 2011 04:45 PM

ok, first of all, the version i was told was that when she looked down,she saw he had a rooster foot and a goat hoove.then there was a black out and every thing was quiet except for a blood curdling shriek.when the lights came back on, the girl's dead body was on the floor naked,with the devil's feet burned into her back and he had disapeared....and second, their version was ridiculous, if not funny. i mean, COME ON! he spun her all the way to hell??and also, the mom said,"I've just been talking to the preacher. He says the dance is going to be for the devil!" when i read that, i was confused... why were a bunch of highschool students about to dance for the devil? was it a halloween dance?because if it wasnt, then where are all the other parents? did their kids escape too?if so, dont you think at least one of the parents would have caught them and canceled the dance?

Posted by: oreo | July 28, 2011 04:51 PM

silly.

Posted by: sofi | August 1, 2011 12:37 AM

Why'd he spin her to hell????

Posted by: Phiona | August 3, 2011 10:03 AM

This isnt the scariest story I have heard but could you only imagine back in the days of the old west men and women sit around a bonfire on a hot Texas night and tell this story, back them Im prett sure it would scare the daylights out of them.
