Check this out:
""You have to go to the cemetery at the stroke of midnight for nine nights, and get some dirt and bring it back with you and put it in a little bottle," he replied. "Then find a place where the roads cross, a crossroads, and at midnight, for nine nights, sit there and try to play that guitar. Don't care what you see come there, don't get 'fraid and run away.'
What do people see? I asked.
"Mostly they see black animals. Might be a black rooster, black bull, black dog or cat -- even a black snake or lion. Usually, it's raining and a thunderin' too. Some say a black smoke comes down so's you can't see anything. Then on the last midnight there will come a rider, in the form of the Devil, riding at lightning speed. You stay there, still playing your guitar, and when he has passed, you can play any tune you want to play or do any magic trick you want because you have sold yourself to the Devil.""
Interesting.
