The
modern man does not believe in existence
of the mermaids
also, because he did not meet them. The majority of people live
in cities, and
this majority forms the public opinion. But people
are living in deaf villages,
near the bogs or forest lakes, still can
tell some mysterious and dark stories
which happened there
recently. Especially after the war, when having received a
lot of
blood, energy of fear and hatred, these beings were especially
active.
In
past, however, people believed in mermaids, because they saw
them. The
encyclopedia of 1911* testifies: “A mermaid captured
at Bangor, on the shore
of Belfast Lough; in the 6th century, was
not only baptized, but admitted into
some of the old calendars as
a saint under the name of Murgen (Notes and
Queries, Oct. 21,
1882); and Stowe (Annales, under date 1187) relates how a
man-fish
was kept for six months and more in the castle of Orford in Suffolk.
The oldest authority, Joh. Gerbrandus a Leydis, a Carmelite monk
(d. 1504),tells
(Annales, &c., Frankfort, 1620) how in 1403 a wild
woman came through ‘a
breach in the dike into Purmerlake, and,
being found by some ‘Edam milkmaids,
was ultimately taken to
Haarlem and lived there many years. Nobody could
understand
her, but she learned to spin, and was wont to adore the cross.
Ocka
Scharlensis (Chronijk van Friesland, Leeuw., 1597) reasons
that she was not a
fish because she could spin, and she was not a
woman because she could live in
the sea; and thus in due course
she got fairly established as a genuine mermaid».
On
website www.jacksdivinglocker.com it is affirmed that this is a photo of a
real
mermaid, taken in Hawaii in 1998.
In
Ireland and in the Island of the Man there are a lot of caves. In
general the
mythology of these places consists of magic legends
about the small people -
dwarfs
or gnomes, who
live in caves and
under ground. The collisions with these
beings were so
frequent,
that the
philosophers of Europe debated about the origin of these
underground creations.
One Icelandic chronicler of the 12th century
wrote down the chronicle
Historia Norvegiae and there he declared
that Scottish Picts ** were the race of
dwarfs, which «did miracles by
morning and
evening, but in midday lost their power and disappeared
in holes of land»***.
However the Picts were
not very
undersized, and
they certainly, did not hide themselves under ground at noon.
The
chronicler obviously described a different category: gnomes, trolls,
goblins
and fairies - underground inhabitants of Scotland.
In
1893 in Switzerland there were found the remains of the whole dwarf tribe of the
Neolith time and there appeared a new theory about the
existence of ancient
human race which had to hide itself in mountains
for the unknown reasons.
Because of the lack of light and good food
their growth and appearance
essentially changed. The theory however did not explain the demonic nature of
these beings.
Probably,
the first official message on collision
with one of such
underground beings dates back to 1138. Pipin the
Short, the father
of the emperor Charles Magnus, founded Brunia a monastery in
Trier, suburb of Prussia. The brothers were occupied with farm work
and grew
grapes, out of which they made excellent wine. The wine
was so good, that
because of it the monastery became known in
Prussia. The trouble took place,
when wine began to disappear from
the cellar at night. The abbey ordered to make
strong locks on the
wine cellar, and only one pair of keys, which he put to his
pocket.
The next morning while opening the cellar all the monks were present. When the heavy door was open, the brothers saw the brooks of the
precious wine
everywhere on the floor. They went downstairs to
survey all the barrels. And
there one of the monks called everybody to look at the originator of the damage,
whom he caught. It was a dark
skinned dwarf, with sparkling eyes. The monks
grasped a torch and
passed through the cellar to the place, where the dwarf was
seized.
They saw that the stone was taken out from the wall at the basis.
