In Flanders a wizard loved to surprise the children with a puppet show. He often gave them a puppet to take home as well. It was said the puppets were malicious. More than once a woman tried to burn the puppets but nothing could destroy them.

In medieval Flanders some thought that if you wanted to either gain someone's support or be feared you should wear the tongue of a frog wrapped in red cloth as an amulet. Bones should do the trick too.

In Flanders it was thought that if you went to an uninhabited house at sunset and wrote an incantation with bat's blood on the walls a horse would appear. The horse would take you to wherever you needed to be in one night.

A Flemish tale says a werewolf who didn't want to be a werewolf anymore had to revisit all the villages he had brutally attacked while he was chased by thousands of little devils. Only then was he liberated from his duties as a wolf.
