K0816 dupe lured to supposed dance and killed
Notes

Thompson has Fjort story; "in the Afro-American version the dupes are threatened and dispersed rather than killed, but even among African versions of the same tale, the ending can be fatal or non-fatal."

conclusion: "This tale is probably derived from the African."
