Richard Kühnau: Schlesische Sagen 1 - Spuk- und Gespenstersagen (1910, B.G. Teubner) 5 stars

...A barber once hanged himself here. And when people step into this small forest at 12 o'clock at noon or after the evening prayers, they will be grabbed by invisible hands, forced to sit down on a tree stump, and be lathered and shaved against their will.

Richard Kühnau: Schlesische Sagen 1 - Spuk- und Gespenstersagen (1910, B.G. Teubner) 5 stars

The irrlichts (will-o'-wisps) were often seen in the Alt-Seidenberg area, and frequently led the carters astray. There was also a larger irrlicht, which was called "The Great Shining One". It frequently approached from the direction of the Röhrborn near Alt-Seidenberg, and made a curve around the village until it reached the Küppen Forest. While the common irrlichts swayed up and down and were significantly smaller, the Great Shining One moved in a steady course.
