According to Ladbible, a creepy clip featuring a Rumpelstiltskin-like character has been spreading across social media, with viewers using the strange footage in memes and other contexts. Although some people thought the instagram video came from an older fantasy movie, its origins are much more recent.
Some viewers apparently believed the footage came from the 1987 movie Rumpelstiltskin, but that theory did not last long. In the original story, Rumpelstiltskin helps a woman turn hay into gold after her father boasts about her supposed ability to do so, eventually demanding her first child in exchange for his help.
