The year is 1609. The folk of Corton Wood village in Suffolk county are under siege. A murderer is at large and over 15 folk have been killed.
A local man, the farm worker Burkett Morden, is held and tried as the prime suspect for the killings.
Burkett pleads his innocence throughout the trial but is found guilty on all counts and sentenced to be hung from the gallows tree in Corton Great Wood.
As he is hung, Burkett curses the villagers that he will have his revenge on those who wronged him.
After his hanging, Burkett’s body is propped up in the local fields as a scarecrow to warn others against committing such atrocities.
Burkett, now dead, makes a deal with the Devil so he can have his revenge. The devil agrees! But Burkett must act as an agent of evil for at least 400 years.
When someone in the locality died from there on, the figure of a scarecrow would be seen nearby... In time, his spirit became known as "Stitch" the Devils scarecrow.
Mothers would warn their naughty children that Stitch would get them if the misbehaved.
It is now 400 years on and Stitch’s contract with the Devil is over
Stitch is now free to find the descendants of those who wronged him so many years ago and he is to be found haunting the woods of Pleasurewood Hills where the dirty deeds were first done.
So!
Are you local?
Have your family lived here for generations?
Do you dare to CROSS STITCH!
