Compilation of various messages from the year 1892 - found lately in the cellar of the former police station

August 8., municipality sheet

One of the greatest and suddenest storms on record has just been experienced here, with results both strange and unique. It led to a misteryous shipping casuality near the port.
The ship, the Temeter had as only charge some larger wooden boxes filled with earth - according to load list .
Some eye-witnesses report that in this night some boxes were brought ashore. There wera Also some reports of an enormous wolf-similar shape which disappeared in the forest.
Official investigations furnished however with no results, also no member of the crew could be find so far.

Diary of A.Vambery, September 7.evening

Arrived late in the evening on this lovely place.Bram - who wrote me about the things happened here- awaits me ' It was uncanny, or nevertheless only to hallucination, the storm, the weather, no sleep. But since a relative of you already had something similar experienced with count Orlok, i thought it could not do any harm... '
I think not much of these old stories, but a crucifix to have can never harm...

Excerpt policereport ,August 15.:

According to the eye-witnesses the suspicious persons have gone with their charge over a moving way to N47 55.153/E013 32,348 (Y). We find no indices there. Some witnesses were also now not safe that things happened so. Act closed. R.M.Renfield

Diary of A.Vambery, September 7, briefly before midnight.
With a strong lamp I started at N47 55.059/E013 32,425. After A short steep ascent I arrived at the point Y from the police report I looked over the lake which lies quietly under me....A formerly large tree, what's that? Something flashes in the lamp light. A trace? I adjust the lamp, to recognize clearly now... I continue to follow this way ... further lsuch ights in irregular distance, some close, some farther from the way-... apparent really a kind signpost/guide. I remain on the path, and follow the trace... Crossings... with some good overview the further way was easy to find... Seems there's somewhat important over there. Looks like two eyes...

Diary of A.Vambery, September 8. -short before one o'clock
with some combination I could decode the data . So reached a Stage 2 (have somewhat of William Tell .... i tought) with further data - however the important part is missing still, must probably be here somewhere. ... for calculations i took always point Y

September 8.,1:30
Found the remaining target object after well 2 hours !. I have to set my steps carefully, since the way appeared somewhat dangerous here in the dark. After finding a further remarkable point.... first without any result -until i searched the further periphery. What's in here: a kind note book, some earth and some non-suspicious little things. Nothing more here. seems brought to other places...So,i didn't need my cross anyway, where have I actually laid i.....

Announcement in various newspapers on October 19:

The strange disappearing of my friend and colleague Arminius Vambery gives still mysteries up. Since the authorities stopped any investigations - or denied his existenc-i try I this way to address fear lots, courageous ones, adventurers etc.. His equipment consisted of a strong, long-range lamp, a firm footwear and a silver crucifix. Any information who brings light in the dark of these event is desired. -- B. Stoker.

etwas wild gehts da zu...

Found 21 May 2012 mike3000 found the geocache

UM 21 UHR 30 gings weg vom Parkplatz in Attersee, hinauf in den dunklen Wald zusammen mit Team brandy1965 und Team Jesolo2. In der Gruppe macht das suchen erst so richtig Spass.Es war eine traumhafte Launacht bei ca 20°. Um Mitternacht gabs dann auf einem der am Weg liegenden Holztisch-Bankkombinationen einen Mitternachtssnack mit Kaffee und Kuchen. Um 01:00 konnten wir dann letztendlich die Suche erfolgreich beenden. Leicht war es nicht, schon ziemlich knifflig und man muss schon sehr sehr genau schaun. Vielleicht sollte man diesen Cache nicht unbedingt als ersten Nachtcache auswählen, sondern mit einem etwas leichteren beginnen. Und mehr Augen sehen auch mehr ! Der Cache selber war leider in einem sehr feuchten Zustand, den wir so gut es ging behoben haben, und in eine zusätzliche Tüte verpackten. Eine Wasserdichte Dose wäre nicht schlecht. Ansonsten ein super Cache. Vielen Dank an den grossen Meister !

Found 16 December 2006 FranzV found the geocache

Beim zweiten Versuch nach einigen Irrwegen dann doch gefunden. 18.00 Uhr. Der Vorteil dieser Jahreszeit - es wird früh dunkel. Nachdem wir eine Schatzkiste komplett ausgeräumt haben sind wir dann trotzdem über die nächste Station gestolpert.
Ein klarer Sternhimmel und schöne Aussichten aufs vorweihnachtlich beleuchtete Tal. Es war nicht so leicht, hat aber Spaß gemacht.

Danke npg für diese Abwechslung, Franz
