Status Updates From Sagenbuch Des Preu Ischen S...

I did not expect this many theories as to where the spirit Rübezahl comes from.

So this Nixe was a pagan girl. Unusual, usually an origin of a Nixe is never stated.

So this version of the wild hunter is a guy who murdered someone, not a cursed hunter as usual.

Intersting, the story of this heraldic sign takes plays in muslim spain apparently. I did not expect that. They tend to be much more local.

So in the end they managed to rescue the wizard from the devils afterall. Makes sense as he saved them from the Turcs.

naturally he was punished after even his pious wife could not stop him.

Hm, was that female dwarf with the magic pearls a Kobold? She did claim to be the house spirit. And boy that witch in this other story is way more dangerous than usual in folktales, even after her death she continued to terrorize the area and after digging her out twice they had to burn her, because she had removed the stake they had staked her corpse with.

This hitting the rooster sounds like a practice from the Spreewald region, of course there they used a dead rooster now due to animal protection laws.

So this saint used his cloak as a ship, that is certainly useful.

A türkish ship under a fiery rainbow and above fiery wheels. That is really unusual.

So these people were called donkey eaters because there was a gold mine called the golden donkey.

Really strange how sometimes evil people keep haunting the area and in other cases they are punished. It is all over the place,

Fish as omen of the death of a person. That is new.

Hm, when this story said whine gods at the rhine I expected some gods or at least statues, but it really was only a temple. And the next story about the seven sisters sounds a lot like one of the stories by the Brother's Grimm.

This tale has two origins of the Lorelei, in one she is the classical nix and in another she was a young woman who sprang from a cliff.

the Lorelei. I don't think I ever saw that story in any collection.

the white woman as a giver of riches, not that common.

A cursed boot made by a nun and a newt who drinks all the poison out of a sick man. I did not expect the latter.

That a Basilisk breathes fire is something I don't think I ever came across before this story.

I guess that these Kobolde are of the mischivous but not devilish kind.

First the ghosts of children dancing and then even a ghostly priest, at least I think he is a ghost-

Did I read this Bahkauv story already? Aachen is the only city with this being, so technically I should if I know it already.

Why do the ghosts of the templars come out of a lake?

Some black clad monk and boiled cancers coming back to live... hm...

How on earth does an "angel in the form of a ghost" look like? Like a regular ghost? Wouldn't a simple common angel be more efficient to keep them from fighting over the corpse of the saint?

Wow, this is so far one of the more gruesome white woman stories, here she gets pregnant by some no-good knight and becomes mad and throws the baby in front of his horse and so has to haunt the area.

Why is Albertus Magnus portrayed as a dark magician when the story states itself that he was a monk?

A cross growing out of the wall, that is really new

Hm, is the story sympathetic to the heretics? It kind of sounds like it.

So an angel pretended to be the nun the entire time. That is new.
