The Crooked Man
If you search "crooked man" you will get all sort of scary smiling pictures, maybe the one that was "laughing" was the crooked man?

omg! The last one is gonna give me nightmares!
Well, Beauty did mention she got a loan from him. Which makes me believe we might see him in ep 3.
The Crooked Old Man.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse.
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
The content and lyrics of this nursery rhyme have a basis in history. The origins of this nursery rhyme originating from the English Stuart history of King Charles 1. The crooked man is reputed to be General Sir Alexander Leslie of Scotland. The General is one of those who signed the Covenant securing religious and political freedom for Scotland. The 'crooked stile' being the border between England and Scotland. 'They all lived together in a little crooked house' refers to the fact that the
English and Scots had come to an agreement. The lyrics reflect the times of old England with reference to the animosity between the English and the Scots. The word crooked is pronounced as 'crookED' the emphasis being placed upon the 'ED' in the word. This was common in olde England and many references can be found in this type of pronunciation in the works of William Shakespeare.
I would say that the Crooked Man is an original Fable, for what it's worth. He also isn't mentioned in the comics. The only other option of course is that it's a code name for one of the Fables we already know.
The last one is from a pixel horror game its called "The Crooked Man"And it was awesome game, also game depended on choices u made and so on. It was fun and creepy. Pretty cool
I think "Crooked Man" is referring to the old nursery rhyme. You know, the one that goes
"There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile.."
Crooked Mile? That's the name of episode 3!
Episode 3 is called "A Crooked Mile", it seems fairly unlikely he won't be involved in that ep's plot somehow. Either by meeting him, or other people making strong references to him.
Totally forgot that was the title. This is gonna be really interesting.
The plot thickens
Indeed, it does
Looks like the Crooked Man is some kind of Godfather figure, perhaps with a supernatural/magical element. I'm imagining him as a voodoo witchdoctor in a suit right now.
