Joint snake
Mythical creature from American folklore / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A joint snake is a legendary creature of the Southern United States, the myth likely having spread elsewhere.[1] Supposedly, the joint snake can break itself (or be cut) into pieces and will reassemble itself.[2] It is said that if a piece of the snake is taken and the pocket knife used to cut the snake is set down in the place of the snake's piece, the knife will join up with the whole of the snake.
