How could I not remember that?<br /><br />Remember the Felsenkirche, the Church in the Rock? A passageway was recently discovered that leads to previously unknown chambers beneath the church. The chambers were cut out of the foundation by a seventeenth century coven of witches. The witches would ring a bell at midnight, and because the bell was deep within the rock the sound was muffled and freaked out the townspeople. To this day no bells are rung in Idar-Oberstein, even during Catholic high mass, for fear the witches will return.<br /><br />Or maybe I made that all up for my book.Stephen Parrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883165490847664389noreply@blogger.com
