Tahir and his friends asked me "on their knees", not to sleep there. They said it was very dangerous there. The village is located about 8km from Tahir's land ...and there is nothing and no one there - far and wide. Neverminding - I went there and hung my mosquito net on there ...

It was a very restless night. Once I woke up and heard Robinson coming down, playing the violin. I got up and walked towards him through the gate ... Man, what are you doing here in the dark? I asked him: How have you managed to come here in the dark, He grinned and continued to play ... and suddenly the music ceased - and there was no one. I woke up - and there was no one ... that was very scary.

Again I was awakened by a loud clattering. Sheep were everywhere. I thought: I hope they will not trample over my sleepingplace, my moscitonet and me. They all ranthey ran bleating loudly right behind me - behind the tent. Last came someone in heavy boots. He ran over my place - right next to me. I could not see him - but I could clearly hear and feel the vibration on the ground. And suddenly there was silence again - only the cicadas were noisy yet. I woke up - and there was no one. ... now it was even more eerie.

I woke up, and lay beside a hedge. I wondered a lot and thought: No -nowhave I come here? And where are my clothes, my moskito, my sleeping bag? I looked at the floor and there was everything: my mosquito net, my sleeping bag, my food that I had brought. Oh - how can it be that I had not noticed that I had been brought elsewhere?? Had they carried me here with a litter? I looked down to the floor once more. Since all of my things were fine stapled there. I looked around. But I could not remember or identify where I was. I did not know this city. Wherever I went, I was always in a dead end ....just like in a labyrinth. It took an endless time, until it dawned on me: "Man, this is not real!" And I awoke, and there was nothing, only the cicadas were noisy - and next to head height was a great hole. A weird and musty smelling cold air from the earth down there came out of this hole. I had closed the hole on the day with a large rock.

now it was really scary

I spent the rest of the night sitting on the wall - looking to the sea - hopefully awaiting the sunrise... but I fell to sleep again. I slept well this time and awoke long after sunrise.

When I came backto Tahir and Robinson the next morning, they asked me if I had not met the devil, "the devil lives in the ruins of the monastery" And I said, "Well - and how I met him! ... he has fooled me three times - but I fell asleep again and again in peace ..." When they heared this - their hair stood on end. And I was pleased that they now had added some new ghost stories to their repertoire. So this place would surely remain "untouched" much longer !
