Looking for the complete history of our favorite "red devil?" The legend of the Nain Rouge is now spreading nationally. He's been added to weirld.com, which profiles paranormal superstars like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, along with indie cryptids (uh, St. Gertrude, the patron saint of repelling sea monsters?!). The Marche du Nain Rouge also received a detailed, nay tongue-in-cheek, write-up.
Excerpt:
At both the 2010 and 2011 events, an ad hoc organization calling itself
"The Friends of the Nain Rouge" actually protested the banishment
parade, arguing that the Nain Rouge is not to blame for the city's ills
and that considering Detroit's population loss, no one should be
banished from the city, particularly those who have been there the
longest.
