The Toad Woman

Local Wabanaki lore speaks of the Toad-Woman: Pook-jin-squis, a harbinger of evil. She roams the swamps and dark forests of the Northeast, and in her trail is just death and darkness. To see her is bad fortune. To photograph her, then, must be doubly so.


This might not be the Toad-Woman. Pook-jin-squis is most probably a myth...but with roots in the truth. Whatever this picture is, it could be those very roots. Photographed in Moon Bog, there's some indefinably evil about this moss grown thing; something that meshes very well with the tales of the Toad-Woman.

Suffice it to say, I stay away from that place after the sun's gone down - and not just because of the awful pollution from the quarry.
