The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

Every year at camp, the older campers get to tell the
legend of the Hatchet Man to the new campers. Legend
has it that Hatchet Man will come around to the camp
at night time to capture a new camper. They are reminded
that the marks outside the wood cabins are indeed hatchet
marks from Hatchet Man.
