Hamelyn, it's in Germany. The Piper lead the children into a mountain. Vanishing forever. You've all heard it. It's not a made up story like The Lion King, look it up. It happened.

There is a (surprisingly) thourough entry on Wikipedia for the Pied Piper, and i think the best explanatio for this is that the "children" were not in fact kids, but people (adults) who were born in Hamelin, who then left the town to populate some region further away, pehaps in Czechoslovakia. The Piper, could have been a representative of the landowner who owned the lands they left the villeg for. Various other scenarios are also suggested, but it would seeem that this story, or myth, is more of a local history tale that has been passed down and embellished over the years, rather than anything to do with what we are discussing here.

5. Personal Experiences Part 2
My two extraordinay experiences involved vivid and lucid dreams at night in a Hotel there and spotting a glowing Orb descending behind some trees beside the mountain while walking through woods at the mountain side. This was at night, in the rain. The Orb was purple and something I will never forget.
The legends are widely known, but the dwarfs seem not have been seen since a century. None of the locals report any sightings. Most material on them predates the 20th Century.

Clearly an expedition is needed.
Then again, I am sure White Eagle and/or others have combed the area far and wide. Perhaps he - or someone else familiar with the area - can tell us more about the location?

re-Hi guys, I've been away a while, and just caught up. A thought: do you think there is any merit to perusing "spinoff" tales (like Rip van-Winkle) for any simlilar corelations of stuff like "time-sleeping", dwarves, ect? Just wondering what the theme-linkages might turn up.

So, is the Hochthron near to the cave which we suspect may be known as the "eisernen Thuer"?
