| Description | They say a man lived in the headwaters of a river and had a young daughter. A young orphan was stalking a woman from his house, and one time his father of the woman found out what the couple was doing, and sent the Mother of Water to kill the young man. The young man fought with the spirits, killed them, and put half of one at the top of the ladder and the other half at the bottom of the ladder. When the old man bumped into the dead spirit, he was so frightened that he got ill and took on a fever caused by the fright, and so he died. Recorded between 1964 & 1966. |
