It is told in Wiltz that a man once swore a false oath, adding these words: “If what I say is not true, may the Devil come and pluck every hair from my head!”

On his way home, as he was passing a little wood, so many devils came upon him that each needed to pull out only a single hair. His companions heard him screaming in terrible agony.

For a long time afterward, the poor wretch lived completely bald, as everyone could plainly see.
