In the late 1970s, a 4-foot-2 man known as Poofington ran a wish-granting booth on a New Jersey boardwalk pier, charging $99 for three wishes. What started as a joke attraction turned sinister when wishes — including ones placed by the mob — started coming true. After a rival boss turned up dead and police linked Poofington to over 50 crimes, they moved in to arrest him. Bystanders caught it on film. He was never seen again.
