    The superstition was that disability of any sort was the mark of the devil. The phrases are in languages throughout Europe: the devil's hoof, the devil's horn mark. It reaches back to early Christianity and the middle ages.

You will still find, particularly in Greece, people doing a little sign when they see a very badly disabled child – it needs warding off.
