My brother had a wart on his knee. Twice it was froze off, twice it grew back. He was skateboarding and fell, it got scraped off & grew back! A client at the hair salon (mom's work) heard my mother talking about it. My brother who was 8 or 9 happened to be at the shop. The lady called him over and ask him if he would sell her his wart. He said "sure!", she gave him 2 quarters and told him "thank you, that's my wart now". Little over a week it was GONE! And NEVER grew back! That was 40yrs ago.
My G Grandfather, Joseph Burns 1871- 1969 was a Wart Charmer. Many old people told me as they were growing up that they would go see him if they had a wart. He would take a little vile of salve out of his pocket. He would put some on his thumb, and would rub it on the wart. While rubbing he would recite a Bible verse under his breath. Several days later the wart would disappear. My Burns family were living in the area of Washington DC before the Revolutionary War, in the 1760s.
It's definitely true we had an old man in town that can make warts disappear he would rub on them with the storm while he talked to you and the next day or two they'd be gone
A Cherokee Indian removed my 42 warts that I had when I was 12... he said a couple of words over them, as he tapped it with his finger. A week later, my sister said you dont have anymore warts, and sure enough, I didnt!.. never had another one...now 53 yrs later..
My mom & grandma both called themselves 'wart witches'. For only a penny they'd take a wart off anyone who asked. Used to embarrass the heck out of me as a kid when they'd ask my friends "Hey, can I buy that wart off you?" LOL It worked every stinking time!! I never in my life thought I'd ever find information on this! Thank you sooo much!! Grandma's family was from south east TN
My grandmother is crow “Crouix”, 1 of the last purebreds as she would say. She was a healer. She removed many warts. She had taught me many healing things including how to remove warts.
I love this as a little girl my grandmother used to say frogs gave you warts,we didnt live in america and i find it great the same said to me miles away,also it was told rub a coin on it or a gold ring and it would go..and they did,how awesome is that,thank you for this what a wonderful folk tale,😊❤
Folk medicine is powerful. My wid=fe and her mother (both medical doctors), listened intently to the folk lore medicinal remedies that their grandmother suggested...AND IT WORKED!
Hey thanks for the shout out! I used to get told if I messed with the frogs in the creek I would get warts. I don’t remember anyone saying how to get rid of them though.
I remember my daddy told me how he got rid of some warts he had. He said he was told to go out in the yard, find a dog bone. Pick it up, rub it on your wart, and lay it right back where you find it, walk off and forget about it. I had warts at the time he told me of it. So out in the yard I went to where my dog was normally tied. I picked up one of his bones, rubbed it on my wart, payed the bone right back to where I picked it up. I walked off and forgot about it. Sure enough, a few weeks went by, and my wart seemed to have gone away.
My uncle Clyde "Shorty" Gatlin removed one from the palm of my hand in 1978 on Lacon Mt., Alabama. He took his pocketknife out and made an x on the wart while he was whispering something I didn't understand. He didn't cut it but just barely touched it. When he was finished he closed my hand and looked me straight in my eyes and told me that wart would be gone in 5 days. It was. I was 5 when this happened but when I got older I asked my dad how Uncle Clyde did that and dad said he learned it from an old Cherokee Indian doctor up in Tennessee.
Awesome video my friend.I was raised being told about the frog and warts, and played with em anyhow 😂. Thank you for sharing this. Love your stories. Lord bless my friend.
I had seven warts on one hand, and a friend of mine, took me to the creek ,tore a string off of my blue jeans, kicked a hole in the sandbar with his boot, and threw the string in it ,then covered t up .then he told me if I believed , when that string rotted my warts would disappear , I believed him and it worked ! Rockingham County, North Carolina.
My father's sister had the gift of getting rid of warts. Back in the early 1960s my dad, mom, and, I went to visit Grandpa, my father's dad. Aunt Helen was there. I asked her if she could look at my hands and see if she could do something to help. I had over 10 warts total on both hands. Aunt took my hands and looked at them, rubbed the warts lightly, and said to me, "Now forget about the warts." In approximately 10 to 14 days warts began to disappear. Finally, the warts were completely gone.
When I was a kid,back in the 60s,I had a wart that would not go away. I tried wart remover from the drug store but it didnt work. Then one of Moms friends said he would buy it. He gave me a nickle and told me to forget about it. It went away and never came back. True story .
Really cool story Johnnie! I've always loved your respect for your elders. I was raised that way too. The old folks and the Native Americans before them actually had a charmed cure when it came to tobacco though. Medical science has put tobacco to the test and while it's deadly when smoked, it really does have healing properties when used as a rub or poultice on wounds. Some type of juice in the leaf, if memory serves me. I guess our mystery man knew what to do with that plug somehow! Have to admit I wonder about about that stone trick though! May God bless you and yours.
When I was 9 or 10 my left hand had warts all over it some of them were quite large my neighbor was an elderly lady who happened to notice my warts one day and said I can help you get rid of those old warts if you want me to and I said how she said take one of your mother's old dish cloth and rub it on each wart 3 times and bury the dish cloth after you do that and in a few weeks your warts will be gone it really worked I haven't had a wart anywhere since then and I'm almost as old as dirt
My daughter had a wart on one of her fingers and her great great uncle noticed it and told her to rub a potato on bury it and bury it at the bottom of the stairs she was in a christmas play at church and noticed her wart was gone and shouted out it was gone and her old uncle was there ❤️❤️❤️👍♥️😊 a child listening and believing her elder
My uncle Jack bought mine for a nickle. I was probably elementary age. I kept that nickle for probably 40 years. It finally got lost I guess. He was part indian(not sure which tribe)but that wart went away shortly after. I was always fascinated by that. Thankfully when the nickle disappeared it didn't return😂guess I thought it would if I lost it😮
My Grandma took a wart off my hand. I ask her how she took it off. She said her dad told her how to do it. I believe she said a Bible verse as she rubbed the wart. She told me to go home and forget about it. It left.
My Mammaw would rub a copper penny on a wart seven nights in a row then bury it under a rock in the road. Within seven days the wart would go away. I've seen this work.
We used to catch tad poles, crawdads and seems like it is a lost art nowadays 😔 we always stayed outside growing up. Sad times these days. Have a goodn' brother
@@KeepingAppalachia My great uncle was a 7th son. I also had a preacher friend that was. I took my 1st daughter to him when she had thrush in her mouth he cured it..
Does anyone know of any wart charmers that exist now? I’ve experienced this healing but unfortunately mine come back but not bad like it was I had it done when I was about 18 and they disappeared a man just looked at me and mumbled something under his breathe and they went away now I’m 38 some have returned
