Olde Marolde

**Olde Marolde** was a witch rumored to haunt Drenthe, Overijsel and Gelderland. She has been described as a witch, although her name suggests she could be a nightmare too. It's been said that she was the spreader of illness and flew naked through the air, stealing children from their cradles.

## Sickness

Olde Marolde was most notorious for giving people the flu. A little verse would release the sick from her spell:

Olde Marolde,
ik hebbe de kolde.
Ik hebbe ze now.
Ik gève ze ow.
Ik bind em hier neer,
ik krieg em neet weer.
One would say this verse while walking around an oak tree (or in some versions; poplar or elder trees) three times. It is said the tree will shake as illness is transfered, and depending on the severity, it may die in the process. Alternatively, one would say the verse while tying a piece of fabric from the sick person around a branch of the tree. Such a tree still stands in Overasselt: The Koortsboom van Overasselt next to the ruins of the saint Walrick church, is a pilgrimage site once habited by saint Willibrord. People still visit the place to decorate the oak branches with pieces of cloth.

There were other ways to transfer the flu into a tree. One way to do this was by making an incision in the bark of the tree and another under the nail of the patient. Then the blood of the patience had to mix with the tree's sap. Less frequently, they would hammer a nail into a tree. Once the bark had grown over the nail, the illness would be cured (this method was used for broken bones, mostly). In Gelderland the sick looked up a willow tree and placed three knots in their branches. They spoke the following words before turning their back on the tree and getting out of there as soon as they possibly could:

Goé morgen olde,
Ik geef oe de kolde;
Goé morgen olde!
Another way to get rid of an illness was by transfering it to an animal, or writing the patient's name on a piece of peat before burning it. Other times the peat was carved with one stripe for each day of sickness. Other conventions preferred to bury the peat instead. Oftentimes another verse was used:

Koorts, koorts, ik ben niet thuis,
Ga maar naar een ander huis.

Meermin

Province

Througout Dutch history, several tales have been told about the **Meermin** (also known as a Zeemeermin) and her male counterpart the Meerman. She is known to be a vain creature, often combing her hair or using a mirror. When mermaids don't tend to their appearance, they like to sing. Encounters with humans often ended up being quite tragic, like the mermaid of Edam and the more renowned story of Westenschouwen.

Goddeloaze Singel

Province
 City

**Goddeloaze Singel** (translation: Godless Canal) is a small canal that runs by the village Faenwâlden in Friesland. Several uncanny tales revolve around this canal, among which the haunted house Goddeloas Tolhûs (translation: Godless Toll House), which does not exist anymore since 1934 or 1935 and has since been replaced with a different building. Elsewhere along the canal on a crossroads with Oastein street is a bridge which has likewise been replaced in 2015, known as Skilige Pypke (translation: Skewed Pipe). It is nowadays part of a highway.

## The Canal's Name

According to people from the region, the canal derived its name from the many stories that surround it. For instance, a skeleton was found under the bridge close to the toll house during restorations. It is possible it belonged to an ice skater who sank through the ice under the bridge late at night. He called out for help, but a ghost prevented people from saving him. It is known that the canal derived its name from Goddeloas Tolhûs. Unclear however is which specific story spawned the canal's fearsome name. Most people link it to the tale of Gerben Klazes Boskma who used to live inside the toll house, though it is well documented the house was already notorious before he started living there in 1812.

## The Haunted Canal

Townsfolk tried to stay away from the goddeloaze single whenever they could, especially at night. If they had no other choice, it was adviced against talking to strangers, following any lights or walking in the middle of the road. The "ljochtskouwe folk" (translation: the light-shy folks) - as they would call it - came out at night and roamed around the canal. Among these creatures belong ghosts, hellhounds, witte wieven, will-o'-the-wisps and strange funeral processions. Those who obstructed a cortege were said to be picked up and put on the other side of canal.

## Uncanny Tales

Many unsettling stories revolved around the canal, most of which involved death or murder. The area used to be full of bandits, and then there was the Goddeloas Tolhûs, which was believed to be a source of many haunting activities. A skeleton was found underneath the bridge nearby the house which quite possibly belonged to an iceskater. It was said townspeople heard his plea for help but could not get close to him because of a ghost. Another story tells of two men in a boat who drowned a third man by pushing him underneath the vessel. Yet another story tells of a man who traveled along the canal with a bulk of cash. Worried that he would be robbed and killed, he hid himself under an upside down boat. Bandits indeed came and sat on the boat, waiting for him to arrive. Only when they got up and left did the man come out of hiding.

Natural Habitat

## Pagan King

King Radboud famously refused to be baptised by saint Boniface and Wulfram of Sens after hearing that he would not be able to find any of his ancestors in Heaven after his death (although some stories mention it was saint Willibrord). He told them he would rather spend an eternity in hell with his pagan brethren than in heaven with a pack of beggars.

Dwaallichtjes

Also Known As
 Natural Habitat

**Dwaallichtjes** (translation: Wandering Lights) are ghostly apparitions that appear at night. Other names for them are Dwaaslichtjes, Droglichtjes, Alflichtjes and Valse Lantaarns. In the region of Groningen they were commonly known as Hiplichtjes, Glende Kerels, Gloeiende Kerels, Stallichtjes, Stalkeerse or Stalkaarsen. Friesland spoke of Nachtlampken, Spoekljochten, Dwylljochten or Dwaalljochten. Flanders knew them as Dwoalluchtn of Dwoasluchtn. These will-'o-the-wisps are often blue in hue, and mostly seen in swamps, graveyards and above bodies of water. Sometimes they appear as transparent figures with a luminous lantern. The wandering lights are also said to excrete some sort of residue (ectoplasm?). One could rub this substance over their body in order to become invisible.

## Intentions

Said to be the spirits of criminals, they are known to frequent crime scenes or the locations of future houses, canals or (rail) roads. Tales about the wandering lights implied they might indicate hidden treasure. Some people believed they were elves playing tricks with their minds. Those who decided to follow the lights, risked getting lost. Or worse: they'd be led into danger. The lights have been known to lure people into the swamp. Again others say the wandering lights are spirits of unbaptized children. One could lift them from their curse through baptism, though it's been said to attract more such spirits. It's an activity that could last until morning sunlight.

Venrayse Schepenen

Province
 City

**Venrayse Schepenen** are flaming ghosts said to roam the border between Venray and Bakel, two towns which were once divided by areas of arid heather and peat among many other towns in the area that were fighting over it. The peat area known as De Peel found itself on the side of Bakel in Brabant and it was the Limburg town of Venray who had the short end of the stick. A few displeased men from Venray decided to claim a bit of peat for themselves and moved the border stones. People claim to have witnessed their flaming apparitions haunt the border since their death.

## The Story

It was around 1640 when it all happened. At night a displeased group of Venray men traveled through the heather and moved the border stones up by a long distance. This stealing of land of course aggravated the people in Bakel. Unable to pinpoint where the border stones used to be exactly, they turned bitter towards the people of Venray. This impasse was solved when eventually the mayors of both towns met each other on the border. Venray's mayor had filled his shoes with dirt from Venray and hid a small shovel under his hat. He pointed at his hat as he proclaimed "As long as my maker is up here, I'm standing on Venray's soil". This was a trick on words however ("Schepper" is Dutch for creator but "Schep" is also a shovel). This obvious lie upset the mayor of Bakel, but he patiently awaited for God to strike the liar before him with lightning. When this did not happen, he concluded the words he spoke must have been truthful. Bakel's mayor decided to trust the man and reluctantly shook his hand but the people of his town did not forget the shady ordeal. Years rolled by and a generation of people passed away, among whom were those who had stolen their land, whose afterlife did not offer them peace. They were destined to roam the border as flaming men whose appearance was somehow more terrifying than regular ghosts. It was best to avoid that place after sundown.

Folperd van der Leede

**Folperd van der Leede** was a lord with jurisdiction over the area of Leerdam in Zuid Holland just under Utrecht. Just like his son Pelgrim van der Leede, he had signed a contract with the devil that prolonged his life and allowed him to sin without consequence. Though related to the van Arckel family, he hated his offspring with a passion and desired nothing more than to overtake the area of Haastrecht.

## Jan XIII van Arckel

Among Folperd's many failed assassination attempts, he bribed a sacristan to lock the church doors in Haastrecht so he could burn down the building, but his target and cousin Jan XIII left shortly before the doors were locked. When Folperd later discovered that sir van Arckel wasn't killed, he retaliated by breaking the dykes of the Lek river, flooding the lands of Haastrecht and killing many people in the process. In celebration of this tragic event, he threw a party in Gouda for him and his minions. After eating and drinking to his fill, Folperd left intoxicated. Witnesses say he mysteriously disappeared into thin air that night, leaving but 3 drops of blood on the street cobbles where he was spirited away.

## The Haunting Of Folperd

After sir Folperd's death, the van der Leede castle in the countryside of Leerdam became haunted. Reports speak of poltergeist activities, with even pious folks being thrown about the castle rooms by a spiritual force. It is said Folperd's son Pelgrim broke down the castle for this very reason. While it is true Pelgrim had a new castle built, sources still speak of the forsaken castle in the countryside a few years after he died.

Dreamy Lamb Coord

**Dreamy Lamb Coord** (ドリーミーラムコーデ Dorīmī Ramu Kōde) is a rare Classic Starlight fauna coord. It is the first Classic Starlight fauna coord produced.

## Descriptions

### Dreamy Lamb Tops

A short sleeved periwinkle blouse. The collar is white and pointed upwards slightly in a feathery sort of way, and the collar is only visible in the back. At the sleeves and on the hem, there is a wavy white design with circular wool puffs on top of each indent. Comes with a small golden bell, which is worn around the neck, and is tied with a small ribbon with royal blue side stripes and a cyan stripe in the center.

### Dreamy Lamb Skirt

A periwinkle to cyan gradient double layer skirt, although the top layer is slightly longer than the bottom and doesn't serve any other purpose than to hold the top layer of the skirt up. At the bottom of the first layer of the skirt, there is a pattern of white lambs, with their fur made out of felt of some kind. The second layer is made up of feathery white lace.

### Dreamy Lamb Shoes

Periwinkle flats, with the slight bit of heel that there is being metallic and cyan in color. Both of the shoes each come with a pastel blue ribbon on them, and a small golden bell in the middle of each of those ribbons.
Blauw Dámpke

**Blauwe Dámpke**(translation: Blue Vapor), otherwise known as Blauw Wolkje was synonymous for the plague in Enschede, a city close to the German border in Overijssel. A story tells of the plague and how it offed entire cities and villages in the area by sneaking through door cracks and chimneys, leaving wolves to take over their homes. With all farming properties in their surroundings gone quiet, the Lappe farmers were among the last survivors in the area. The Lappe was a nickname for a group of fearless farmers from the outskirts of Enschede. These farmers were named after their farming property, which laid close to a bog known as Aamsveen. The people of Enschede were convinced that the plague manifested itself as a blue flame (not to be confused with Hémänneken) or cloud that slipped into people's houses and killed everyone.

## The Black Death

According to the tales it was but one bold farmer who was crazy enough to invite the black death with his doors wide open. Then one night he saw it creep by his door, silent, cold and devoid of color, but it left him alone and slipped through the cracks to kill the last of his neighbors. He was now the only one left, but that didn't faze him. Again he left his doors wide open, awaiting the arrival of the black disease. His call was answered. The misty death bringer entered his property and tried to slip through the wide open doors when the Lappe brought down the removable mullion and impaled the fiend. It was by his bravery that the area was finally rid of the plague.

Tante Cor

**Tante Cor** (translation: Aunt Cor) was what the people would call a virtuous witch who lived on the Driehoekstraat in Amsterdam. Other than her black and piercing eyes nothing much gave her away which is why she hid them by wearing dark-tinted glasses. Apart from fortune telling she specialized in dissolving evil magic spells.

## A Story From Buiksloot

North of Amsterdam, across the lake of Ij laid a village called Buiksloot. It was from here a man came to seek the help of Tante Cor, for his wife had surely been cursed. She would often sit in trance after which she would proceed to scream for long periods of time. More than once has she laid in wait to make an attempt at killing her husband. Nobody in his own village could help but lucky for him there was hearsay about a witch in Amsterdam. He went to visit the lady where she awaited him with a game of tarrot. The following verse slipped from her lips as she laid down her cards in front of him.

Dat is je huisje
Dat is je kruisje
Dat ontkom je niet
Dat ontgaat je niet
Dat acht je niet
Dat verwacht je niet
Dat komt zeker!
After telling his fortune, the witch had yet to learn about the culprit. She took off her tinted glasses and looked straight into the man's eyes. What she saw was a Peddler on his way from Hoorn to Enkhuizen. This man had tried to sell his wares to the cursed woman, and got angry when she wouldn't buy from him. She laughed right in his face, which offended him greatly. The witch now opened the door to her heater, and mumbled as she scattered a strange powder over the flames. Now also he could see the man. She handed him a knife and urged him to leave a scar on his face. The man did as he was told and slashed the knife across the flames. With the curse now lifted, the peddler arrived in Buiksloot once more with a big scar across his face. No longer would anyone buy wares from him.

Bloedkoets

Natural Habitat

In Belgium, the **Bloedkoets** (translation: Blood Carriage) was a reason for kids to stay indoors at night. The carriage was also known as Bloedkoesj, Bloedkaros, Bikaros or Hellewagen. The Child Terror was mentioned whenever kids ran around barefoot outside as well. This hell on wheels - which could fly (possibly derived from Germanic god Wodan's army of the dead) and drove around the cities at night - was completely black and sealed off from the outside. Blood seeped through the cracks and masked men walked on both sides of the wagon. These masked men abducted any children they could find and brought them to the Tenenkappers (translation: Toecutters) within the cart. It is said the children were killed, and sent off to the French republican. A slightly different version exists where demons reside within the cart, who would cut off their toes and feast on their blood.

Alternatively, one spoke of a beautifully ornamented carriage of wealthy descent, pulled by four horses. Inside the carriage sat a rich lady who lured the children inside, promising them candy, and that they might play with her daughter at the castle. Kids who couldn't be fooled where dragged in there by force. As one might suspect, none of her promises came true. The lady brought them to a big castle where she cut off their toes in order to prepare a bloody bath for a sick king whose only cure was for him was to bathe in the blood of children younger than 7 years old. It is likely these tales were linked to the rumors that had spread all over Europe about Hungarian countess Elizabeth Báthory.

Spookuur

When the local church bell tolls 12 times, this heralds **Het Spookuur** (translation: The Witching Hour). The Witching hour is a moment of complete darkness, when strange apparitions roam the street and nobody dares to leave the house. The witching starts at midnight and ends 1 'o clock.

Pok

The **Pok** (also known as Puk) is a demonic figure with roots in Friesland. Farmers knew him well. The humidity of their barns caused hay to swelter, and sometimes char marks could be found on the bales of hay. They were said to be caused by Pok; the fire demon. He supposedly worms himself through the bales in an attempt to light the tinder.

Bloedende Wind

Villages like Lopik, Hekendorp and Ammerstol, but also other parts of South Holland and Utrecht know the story of the **Bloedende Wind** (translation: Bleeding Wind). The story tells of a stubborn farmer who decided to go haymaking in the middle of a storm. His servant had warned him not to go out, as the dried gras would surely be blown off his pitchfork. It appeared his servant was right. In a rage, the furious farmer stabbed at the wind, when suddenly blood trinkled down one of the prongs. It appeared he had accidentally killed the witch who was causing the storm.

Kludde

Province
 Natural Habitat

In East-Flanders - but mostly in parts of Belgium - people feared the nocturnal "Kludde"-shouting monster; hence the name **Kludde** (also known as Kleure, Klerre, Kledde or Waterkledde). People know him as a horrifying Tormentor. Some people have described the Kludde as a furry; supposedly a big dog that walks on its hind legs with heavy kandee bracelets (at least one around its ankle), bear claws, a black maw, green glistening scales on the batwings on his back and crimson colored emo eyes. He's a Child Terror and pulls children into the water. The Kludde can move at immeasurable speeds and is said to spawn from the cremated bodies of witches and wizards. Some say if one were to kill the Kludde, 7 more would crawl from its corpse. He likes to play dangerous games such as glomping unsuspecting passersby and becoming increasingly heavy. The monster can sometimes be found in the reeds, under bridges and inside of hollow trees. Should one encounter the beast, their best hope is that their feet are faster than the Kludde's claws.. Throwing a handkerchief could save their life; Just like with the werewolf, this fiend has no other choice but to rip it apart carefully, fiber by fiber.

Some say the demon used to live in Dender, but the civilians of Aalst managed to chase him off to Dendermonde. An unlikely story, especially since Kludde was known in a much wider area.

## A Shapeshifting Tormentor

Kludde has the ability to change into a wide assortment of animals, such as ravens, snakes, cats, frogs, bats and even trees that grow high above the clouds. Other times he would show up looking like a human being, anything was possible, really. Sometimes he'd appear as a meager horse and took people for a ride, only to shake them off in a pond somewhere. Others believed him to be a werewolf, a demon or even the Archangel Michael himself. There's people who believe Kludde teams up with the Aaron Rodgers, another tormenting shapeshifter from A better era of Football.

Laakmannetje

People living on the border of Gelderland and Utrecht, spoke of an apparition known as **Laakmannetje**, who was doomed to measure the border with a searing hot measuring chain for an eternity. Supposedly Laakmannetje was a surveyor once. Heer van Staverden once instructed him to misplace the border stones deliberately.

Weerwolven

Also Known As
 Natural Habitat

A **Weerwolf** (translation: Werewolf) is a human being with the ability to transform into a wolf. "Weer" was derived from the latin word "vir," which meant "man." The werewolf is a different word for man-wolf, so to speak. Werewolves were sometimes given the names "Gruune" or "Stoepstaart". The Kludde - while originally a monster from Brabant and Vlaanderen - was also used as a synonym for Werewolves. The Nachtmerrie is believed to be the female counterpart of a werewolf.

## A Common Mistake

Contrary to popular belief, the Dutch werewolf does not transform unwillingly during a full moon. Instead, werewolves are witches; practitioners of magic. In olden days, the word "Werewolf" was a synonym for a "male witch" or "shapeshifter". Both men and women changed themselves into animals, but only men showed themselves in wolf or dog form. A human wolf sometimes gave away their secret identity through appearance; a bristly unibrow and hair growth on their palms.

## Changing Into A Werewolf

Transformation supposedly takes place when a man trades his soul to the devil for ointment and a piece of clothing (usually a belt). This belt gives men the ability to transform into a wolf. Alternatively, male witches have used wolfskin to merge into their animal form. If one were to burn the magical garment, their reign as werewolf would end. A werewolf is very protective of this magical item, and even feels an empathic connection that may cause a rage when endangered. Yet another theory explains that the seventh son in a family is offered werewolf abilities by the devil (seventh daughters would become Nightmares). And then some say werewolves didn't shapeshift at all, but rather controlled animals in their sleep.

## Wolf Activities

Supposedly it is part of a werewolf's deal to follow the devil's instructions. For that reason werewolves are known to cause trouble. They attack live stock and sometimes even people. In some cases the werewolf acts as a Tormentor, known to stalk unsuspecting people in the darkness. As soon as their target starts showing fear, the wolf jumps on their back and becomes increasingly heavy. He won't let go until the break of dawn. In Groningen they call this wolf the "Gruune."

## A Re-Occuring Story

Dutch folklore speaks of a werewolf boy who's in love with a girl. One day he takes her to the forest when he feels the urge to wolf about. Before he disappears out of sight, he advices her to throw a handkerchief, should she encounter a wild animal. A wild animal indeed appears. She throws him the piece of cloth which the wolf carefully rips to shreds, fiber by fiber. The girl escapes. When the boy visits her later, he plays it off well, but the girl spots the tatters in his teeth. She tells the townfolk and they burn his belt.

Meerman

Througout Dutch history, several tales have been told about the **Meerman** and his female counterpart the Meermin. Human encounters with these elusive creatures often ended in tragedy however, with the Dutch being eager to capitalize on their captivity.

## Encounters

Several stories have been told about the merfolk, with the Zeeland story of Westenschouwen probably being the most renowned merman encounter. However, other parts of the Netherlands claimed to have seen them as well. It was said that in the year 130, a big group of Mermen visited the coast of Friesland. Two of them went ashore and explored the area. Not much later they disappeared back into the sea. And on Texel in 1621, a few fishermen found a merman in their nets. Just when they were about to reel him in though, he managed to escape. They were amazed to find out that half of his body was shaped like that of a lobster.

Also Known As
 Province
 City
 Natural Habitat

**Glüenden Gerrit** is one of the many flaming ghosts spotted on the heather around a small village known as Woeste Hoeve in Gelderland. Originating from the 18th century, the story tells of a dim-witted boy named Gerrit who had a crush on a beautiful girl. This girl fell head over heels for his brother however, and the feeling was mutual. The young couple did very little to hide their affection, leaving Gerrit to look on as the lovebirds went about their ways. By the time Gerrit's brother was getting married, the sibblings had lost their mother and Gerrit's jealousy had taken on grand proportions of pure hatred. He didn't help out with any of the wedding planning around the inn and consumed alcohol all day. His drinking did little to numb his emotions though and despite the intoxication, his thoughts were keeping him awake. That night, driven by his feelings, Gerrit got out of bed and went downstairs where the fireplace had gone out and radiated but a faint orange glow. He opened the door, stirred the coal, placed a bale of hay inside and watched the flames reach for the ceiling as they culminated from out of the hearth. Alternatively, he took out some hot coals and dropped them in a nearby bail of hay. In little time the inn was ablaze with no one but Gerrit to survive the ordeal. Some stories say Gerrit could not remember what he had done that night., while other versions had him on the run. Either way he was found and put to justice. Several Gloeiige can be seen in the heather to this day. One gloeiige walks around with a firebox and is known as Gleuënde Gerrit. Other such ghosts walk around in a sea of flames and are visible from far across the area.

The Woeste Hoeve inn was rebuilt in 1771 and has since offered shelter for emperror Napoleon, his wife Marie-Louise and King Willem III. Due to its rich history, the building was declared a cultural monument. Nowadays it is a restaurant.

Lorrenboer

In Dordrecht - a city in Holland - parents were known to scare their children with the **Lorrenboer** (translation: Rag Farmer). Originally the Ragman was just an ordinary man, who went door-to-door with a big jute bag. He'd shout "Lorren! Lorren!" as he approached, and collected old clothes for a small amount of money. Similar to Zwarte Piet, parents turned this ordinary man into a Child Terror, by telling their children they would be sold to the Ragman, if they couldn't behave.

Spinwijf

The **Spinwijf** or Spinjuffer (translation: Spinning Woman) is a ghostly apparition with the appearance of an old woman in white garnments. She's known to be seen late at night in desolate areas, working the spinningwheel as she sits in the moonlight. It is possible she belongs among the Witte Wieven. Many farmers used her as a child terror to prevent children from going into their fields. They'd say the old woman would take them away and proceed to spin all hair from their scalp. The rumors were even worse in some areas, as the woman in white (sometimes called Spin-An) would slaughter anyone who trampled the rye and possibly even burn them alive.

## Spin-An

Spin-An or Spinnen-Annechien was mainly seen in Zuidwolde, an area in the South East of Drenthe. She appeared as an old woman in white garnments, working away at her spinning wheel as she basked in moonlight on top of a hill. Some have claimed to hear the noise of a spinning wheel at work on top of the Hekelenberg, and some have seen her. She was also said to work on top of the Schottershuizerberg. The excavations that took place there revealed remains of an actual spinning wheel.

## Three Spinning Women

A story from Wapserveen tells of three old women in white garnments, working their golden spinningwheels at the base of the local Hunebedden. A farmer's servant provoked the women and hollered at them:

"Old wiefien platvoet, komstoe mar oet, as ‘t kwaad doet."
The old women gave chase, throwing green bones at the young man as they went after him. The servant managed to return to the farm unscathed, but his horse was left a cripple after being hit by one of the bones. Surely a human being would not have survived the same ordeal.

**Tsubomi**(つぼみ *Tsubomi*) translates to 'bud' as Tsubomi is still becoming the blooming flower she desires to become.

**Yumi**(由美 *Yumi*) translates to "grace". It is her middle name and nickname. Tsubomi has revealed that when she was four, she did ballet because she was clumsy, and became graceful.

## Story

Before energetic and happy-go-lucky Kobayashi Tsubomi came, the girl before her was shy and had stage fright, and feared that she couldn't do anything right. During the 2014 Christmas Holidays, the girl swore to change her personality and release the real girl inside of her. She looked online to find what would make her happy. When the girl started Grade 7, a new girl had joined her school, and the girl realised that the only thing that would make her happy was her friendships. Now the girl had finally completed her mission: to find the secret of true happiness. Now, the girl created a pen name, into Kobayashi Tsubomi. Now Tsubomi spends her time writing anime series to make others happy.
Barneman

The **Barneman** (also known as Barleman) is a ghost or water creature from the Zuiderzee area. It is said that fishermen from Harderwijk could see him appear from the Hierden Stream. Holding an eerie little light against his chest, he walked his way over the Zuiderzee and moved towards the harbor of Harderwijk. His appearance was always a bad omen and had everyone turn their ship back to safety. The appearance of the Barneman signified a terrible nothern storm. It is said the Barneman snorts and huffs worse than a horse. This according to those unfortunate enough to have him on board. There's a possibility the Barneman was associated with the devil, whose nicknames were plenty and one of them was "Barlebaen."

Bloedpater

**Bloedzuiper** (also known as Tenensnijder, Bloedpater, Korenpater and Korenmenneke) is a demon frequently mentioned in Zeeland, Limburg and Vlaanderen. It's a Child Terror that lives in wheat fields. If children went there to pick flowers ("bloedpater" is a dutch synonym for "papaver"), the bloodthirsty Bloedzuiper would find them and cut off their toes. Most likely the Korenpater was made up by parents to prevent children from trampling the harvest, or to protect them from a more serious threat: rapists.

Lange Man

Several different stories are told about a tall ghostly figure known as the **Lange Man** (translation: Tall Man), a figure reminiscent of the modern urban legend called "Slender Man." The tall man is known in several European countries (under different names), such as Germany and Belgium.

The people in Flanders knew him as a tall humanly shadow, hovering over the ground with closed legs, his neck stiff and his arms dangling down from his shoulders. Despite his creepy appearance, he followed nocturnal pedestrians in order to protect them. He could also function as a Child Terror.

The Dutch city of Maastricht in Limburg knows a story of a tall man who lives in basement holes and crawls out at night. The man was able to adjust his own size and frequently knocked on people's windows. If the large figure peeked through someone's curtains, this would supposedly foreshadow illness.

### Relationships

#### Friends

**Akagi Akane**- Akane and Yumi are best friends, and they are said to be "The Yumemachi Super Duo". They do everything together, and have known each other since childhood.

### Etymology

**Nakamura (中村):***Naka*(那珂) means "middle" while *Mura*(村) means "village".

**Yumi (由美):***Yu*(由) means "cause" and *Mi*(ミ) means "beauty".

Therefore, Nakamura Yumi means "middle village cause beauty". This name could be a pun because she is shown to be popular with the boys because of her intelligence, beauty and best friend.

## Music

Even though Yumi is not a main character, her voice actress, Ito Kanae, has participated in several image songs for the character she voices:

* Singles
* Duets

* **Cause-Beauty**

- **BEST FRIEND** (*along with Tano Asami*)

## Trivia

* Yumi and Akane are both voiced by Japanese singers.
	+ This may be a coincidence, since Yumi and Akane do everything together.
* The opening shows Yumi in it, implying that she may find out the identities of the Miracle Trio.
* Yumi's birthday falls on July 20.
	+ Her Zodiac is Cancer.
	+ Her blood type is AB.
		- A funny thing about her birthdate, is that July 20 is a public holiday known as "Ocean Day". Water is the opposite of fire, just as Yumi is the opposite of Akane.
