Luneberg Heath was where Heinrich Himmler's body was taken in the middle of the night and buried in an unmarked grave.

the idea of a witch being dressed in a black cape with a bubbling cauldron is a little old [pointed] hat, don't you think? nowadays we wear street clothes.

OK this is seriously nuts. I mean the event, not the people posting it! As I understand it, this "Hollywood" archetype witch is a pop culture fabrication, a cartoonish portrayal of witches with little basis in reality. So assuming Madseller and Plusky aren't just BS-ing us all, what's going on here? Since I don't believe in the likelihood of shared hallucinations is this some trickster entity that gets its jollies from scaring the **** out of kids by appearing in a form they'll identify as scary??


Edit I meant "shared" hallucinations


I know what it sounds like - and NO I am no BSing anyone. We saw what we saw.

Madseller have you posted this story here before, or in the magazine maybe?
I recall reading a near identical story on the board or in the mag, with the possible difference that the witch spoke to the two boys to warn them against mischief-making in graveyards.
My opinion then as now is that this is some sort of entity or tulpa-like thought-form.


No - I haven't posted this before. Sorry about my delay in responding - had forgotten I had posted this.

aye agreed without it being worthy of the weird badge it wouldn't be here... that said, this cauldron is the part that scuppered the whole yarn. I was happily lapping up the rest. It's requires too many other elements... where abouts was it? what was the layout of this vision?

this cauldron is in danger of turning the whole tale into a crock


I know...............it sounds like something out of a poor horror movie. But I swear - its what we saw. Or thought we saw. It is a long time ago - and as others have said the mind can play tricks but I remember the cauldron, the steam coming off the top, the cat, the hat, the horrible laugh. If someone were telling me I wouldnt believe them either hence why I can say it on here - its anonymous.

This is reminding me of those anecdotes where people claim to have actually seen Santa Claus on Christmas Eve - doesn't make sense to the rational mind, but from a folkloric perspective, why not?
