Iroquois folklore
tells of a disembodied, mummified hand that can inflict blindness or a
horrible withering disease simply by touching an intended victim. This
hand is known as the Oniate, and there are legends about it in other
tribes, such as the Seneca and the Cayuga. It is sometimes called a
ghost hand, although it is not clear if the hand appears as an
apparition or as a full-fleshed hand.
