There are actually quite a few tales about people ending up in dragons' caves for extended time periods, and surviving to tell the tale.

@randomvangloboii @germany @folklore That being said, if you can read German then I can also recommend tale 46 from this collection - it describes a dragon appearing near Untersberg Mountain (near the Austrian-German border), which is interpreted as a good omen.

randomvangloboii,

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore I don't speak German, unfortunately. Does an English translation exist?

Is suddenly falling asleep a simple case of narcolepsy - or something more sinister?

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore That's an unusually enlightened ending to the story. Quite remarkable.

If you work in the German countryside, you will end up seeing some strange stuff.

jakob,

@juergen_hubert

Nein.
Ich hab nicht deine Arbeit als "Mist" bezeichnet, sondern die Darreichungsform.

Das ist ein großer Unterschied.

Auf die Arbeit an sich bin ich mit keiner Silbe eingegangen, da ich die Darreichungsform nicht unterstützen möchte.

@traccer

@traccer @juergen_hubert

Text als Bild, weil die Zeichen nicht ausreichen ist wie ein 7-gänge-Menü durch den Mixer gejagt und mit Strohhalm im Trinkbecher serviert. (Darreichungsform!!)

If the adults are unwilling to protect a dying man from the Devil, then it falls to a child to rise up to the challenge.

Strange lights can sometimes be spotted in the German countryside at night.

Some of them are friendly, and some of them are... not.

EDIT: Whoops, wrong image!

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore oh yeah. Those weird lights over the forest always were disconcerting.

It is unwise to speak out of turn when summoning the Devil.

It is even less wise to ask the wrong question at the wrong time.

@ChrisJagged @germany @folklore Much better than the sadly common "brutalized by male relatives" variety.

Always do proper background checks on your suitors.

A long time ago, a particularly nasty ghost was banished to a forest to the west of Weißenhorn.

These days, the forest has been partially converted into an industrial park.

@onepict

That hadn't occurred to me, but I think you are right. "Wild Hunt" phenomena can appear in many forms.

Don't mock your local priest unless you are willing to face the consequences.

LizardSF,

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore So, the devil does the priest's bidding? Or is this what happens if you implicitly reject the church's protection?

juergen_hubert,
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe avatar

@LizardSF @germany @folklore The latter, I presume. Though with folk tales, you never know.

Near Bad Sülz, a publican's young son became best of friends with a magical animal.

Sadly, this friendship did not last unti his adulthood...

@Tim_Eagon @germany @folklore German folk tales often sneak up on you like that.
