A woman whose father was a police officer describes how her father almost got into trouble after arresting a man who sold his soul for cigarettes and alcohol in an Instagram video that has gone viral. Many people may wonder whether selling one’s soul for money, fame, or anything else is actually a thing.
She claimed that her father had told her that even though they retrieve the alcohol and cigarettes from the elderly man, he mysteriously acquires another, underscoring the fact that individuals do in fact sell their souls.
Scary story shared by my dad in the 90s. He was an RCMP and for those that’s a police officer. And so one night he was out patrolling and him and his partner got a call to a nearby rez where they had to pick up a man, an elderly man that was acting up or something like that. So they went and they came across this man and he was an elderly and he had a bottle and cigs. And so they confiscated that and said hey, we’re going to take you in, whatever.
From the situation was and so they they took his bottle away and his cigarettes and then they patted him down and they put him in. But because he was an elderly man they didn’t handcuff him because they were probably taking him like drunk or something.
So they put him in there they’re taking off here. My dad’s driving and he noticed that that man had another lit up a cigarette and he was like hey, you can’t, you can’t smoke in here. He’s like I took those away from you like he didn’t have anything when he put him in.
And pulled over and he had another bottle and he dumped out that bottle and he was like, what’s the like guy?
I, you know, I did you down.
And he put it, he, he takes it away, pours it out and says, hey, you know, like can’t have that. You know, contraband and inside the police cruiser. And then he took him in and when they came to the detachment again had another bottle and a pack of cigarettes and he was like.
Were you getting this from? And that man just laughed and he said I sold my soul. He said I’ll never go without, I’ll always have liquor and and smokes.
And my dad was just like, what?
It’s like no other explanation on how this man had all this. He bought like there’s like the third one.
And then they come in and they put him in the cells for the night. My dad’s shift was over. And he didn’t. He was he was fine. He went his which account was over. Went home the next day his superior called him and said, you know, hey like this. There’s a man that you brought in here last night. He’s like.
Has a bottle of liquor and cigarettes in here. He’s like, you have to take those away. It was going for like not doing his job and, and my dad had no way to explain to his superior. You know, like that like, yeah like I did take it away and like.
Like trying to explain, like, what you can’t explain. And he just kind of was like, you know what, I’ll just get, you know, take take over. And yeah, he shared that story with me a long time ago when I was always like, who sold his soul deep.
