I was planning on going to Amsterdam this year to treat myself to a birthday trip... but I may have to change my destination now.


You wouldn't want to miss out on Amsterdam, I gaurantee you,.

Maybe you can do both, I think you can take an international train from Amsterdam to Salzburg, wich is only 10 miles from the Untersberg, you could travel there overnight.

I'm thinking of taking a train ride there, myself.

Where are you from, if I may ask?

I don't know what it is with this mountain, but a lot of people seemed to be as inrigued by it, as I am.

You are killing me here, Sky. My appetite for reading is far too voracious for the trickle of info here.

This just might be one of the best threads I have read here since John left.

I flagged this back on page 1, but decided i needed to post so that it showed up in MyATS favorite threads list (easier to track).

Skyfloating, I have told you in the past that you are one of the most interesting folks here. I would read just about anything you write, now. Good work, keep it up.

More Dwarfs and Time-Slip Phenomena, continued from previous posts on pre 19th-Century Legends


The story about a wedding group in St. Leonhard (a village at Untersberg) that had disappeared was written down in 1858 by German author Bernaleken



»Einst zog ein reiches Bauernpaar samt seinem Gefolge aus einem Dorf in ein anderes naheliegendes, um dort bei den Eltern der Braut das Hochzeitsfest zu feiern. Lustig und fröhlich, unter Begleitung einiger Musiker, zogen sie die Straße entlang und kamen zum Untersberg. Nachdem sie hier angelangt waren, fing einer aus der Gesellschaft an zu erzählen, daß in der Gegend ein Kaiser mit einem bedeutenden Heere verschwunden sei und daß seit jener Zeit hier Geister erscheinen, welche die in dieser Gegend Wandernden beschenken.


This tells the story of a group of people who were celebrating a wedding by walking from one village to another playing music and being jolly. Having arrived at their place of destination, one of the groups members told a story about a King who´s entire staff of soldiers had dissappeared here. He said they had been "abducted by ghosts".



Sogleich fing der Bräutigam an, den Geist zu rufen und zu bitten, er möge sie mit etwas beschenken. Auf einmal öffnete sich der Berg und ein grau gekleideter, kleiner Mann mit silberweißen Haaren erschien, der ihnen eine Türe in das Innen zeigte. Die ganze Gesellschaft folgte ihm nach, und sie kamen in eine Reihe schöner Zimmer, in deren einem eine Tafel gedeckt war und Speisen und Getränke aufgetragen standen Die ermüdeten Brautleute und ihr Gefolge setzten sich zu Tische und ließen es sich schmecken. Nach dem Mahle bedurften aber alle des Schlafes, weil sie etwas viel getrunken hat ten. Beim Tische sitzend entschlummerten alle ruhig. Als sie erwachten, führte sie der Berggeist hinaus.


Thats when the groom starting calling for the Ghost to appear and send them gifts. Suddenly a grey-dressed dwarf came out of the mountain. He had silver hair and showed them a door leading to the inside of the mountain. The entire group followed and they witnessed several beautiful rooms and were invited to a festive board. The group, tired from there walk, sat down to eat and drink. Thats also where they fell asleep. After they woke up, the small person in the grey suit led them back out of the mountain.


Bei Tage kamen sie an die Erdoberfläche, allein sonderbar alles hatte sich ihnen während dieser Zeit ganz verändert. Die in dieser Gegend Wohnenden verstanden ihre Sprache nicht überhaupt schien es ihnen, als seien sie in einem ganz fremder Lande. Nach mehreren Tagen kamen sie in ein Dorf. Sie fragten, wie es heiße, und erhielten den Namen ihres Heimatortes zur Antwort. Aber auch hier schienen sie nicht zu Hause zu sein. Sie suchten ihre Wohnhäuser und fanden sie nicht; denn an deren Stelle standen ganz andere, neugebaute Häuser.

Sie begaben sich zum Pfarrer und erzählten ihm alles, was geschehen war. Dieser schlug seine Bücher auf und fand wirklich, daß vor 100 Jahren ein junges Brautpaar nebst einiger Menschen im Untersberg verschwunden sei.«


But as they returned to the surface, everything had changed. They hardly understood the language of the people. Arriving at the village the ask what the name of the village is, which looked completely different, and they got the name of their home village as an answer. But they didnt feel at home there. Looking for their homes they found other, newly built homes.

They went to the priest of the church and told him everything that had happened,. The priest opened his books and found, that the married couple and group had disappeared 100 years ago.

I agree that this tends towards Jacues Vallees theories on UFOlogy.

There are plenty of fairy tales and legends from other parts of the world that involve missing time and big-headed, large-eyed "small people".

Is this story of the missing wedding couple possible to verify? I would think there would be some sort of stir about the return of real people who had disappeared 100 years earlier whose names were verifiable in public records. There were newspapers in the 19th century; surely something would have been written about such an amazing story. I don't read German so it's pointless for me to google any archved newspaper articles about it but I think that would be a good place to start for verification of any myths/legends regarding time slips in the area.

Starred and flagged, btw. This is great stuff.

This particular time-slip and dwarf story was written down in 1858, apparently describing something that happened "hundreds of years ago" that was recorded in the annals of the local church of St. Leonhard.

I posted it representing at least several hundreds of similar stories from the area.

The conservative catholics living in the area since hundreds of years, are known for meticulous recording of events and tales.
