The Bizarre Tomb of Capt. Hook....and Der Struwwelpeter.

[@comet1227]

Der Struwwelpeter! I love that book. Anything they can scare the hell out of children and get them to not play with matches it's OK in my book.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

lol, love that

[@boblatzer]

Remember Max und Moritz?

[@RuthShelton-ou4id]

​@@FacesoftheForgotten The man that invented safety matches worked hard at doing so because his child was badly burned (may have died, I don't remember) while messing with matches.

I enjoy Ron using the drone, I pretend I am in the plane approaching and having a soft landing, now unbuckle, climb out walking with Ron 🤗

[@judyclark5736]

How interesting. That is a bizarre crypt. Looks like the ship left without him. Thanks for another great story.

Hey Ron, someday could you do a story on my ancestor Roaring Dan Seavey, he was a Great Lakes pirate supposedly 🤷🏻‍♂️

My parents were from bremerhaven Germany. We had that book when I was growing up and it always creeped me out.

However, I can definitely clarify my ancestors are buried at the base of Stirling Castle, Scotland which is one of the cemeteries, it's called Ballengeich Cemetery Stirling, Scotland.

I imagine that the hat is a night cap and he is in one rowing a canoe on the river. The back one is him with his beloved do and the other side he is hunting with his beloved dog. He is doing this in his eternal sleep.

The craftsmanship in the detail and designs are amazing. It allowed for alot of creativity for the deceased. Along with their humor.

[@The_Evil_German_Cat]

10:17 I translate ☺️ The story of the wild hunter The wild huntsman put on his new grass-green coat, took his knapsack, powder horn and flint and ran quickly out into the field. He wore his glasses on his nose and wanted to shoot the rabbit dead. The bunny sits in the leaf house and laughs at the wild hunter. Now the sun was shining too brightly, and his gun was too heavy for him. He lay down in the green grass; the little hare saw all of this. And when the hunter was snoring and sleeping, the hare ran secretly to him and took the gun and the glasses and crept away quite quietly and silently.

I‘m from germany and i know Struwwelpeter very well. As a Child i loved this book. Today, i Must say, sometimes a little bit creepy. Horror, the Story with the Schneider and the „Daumenlutscher“. This Book is a Memory of our childhood and a Reminder of Wilhelm Bush. The german Fairy Tales of that time, specially Brothers Grimm, was sometimes horrific in the Original Version. Thank you.

[@seekerofthetruth6257]

My opinion: yes, I do believe & feel Mr hook's Spirit was in the ship when it sailed away. Rest in peace, Mr. Hook, & everyone in the arms of our Lord. Stay safe Sir, & everyone sending virtual hugs to you all. One day I will find that book. Just like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. ❤

[@limlianhui9462]

I have seen gravestones in Malaysia’s oldest city, Malacca, from the Dutch period (1600s, 1700s). They exhumed the graves and took the bones with them when they exchanged the city for Batavia (now Jakarta, the Indonesian capital) with the British Empire but left the huge, heavily inscribed 5 foot tall gravestones all lined up against the inner walls of the ruins of an even older Portuguese chapel (built in the early1500s). There is one open grave in that chapel - and that was where St. Francis Xavier was buried (he had taught at this same chapel in life when he came here) for a year (1554) after he died in China while they waited for the Tradewinds to change so they could sail back with him West to his beloved mission at Goa, India. But when he was exhumed he was fully intact and incorrupt, instead of just bones, like they expected. They did take him back to Goa where he is venerated to this day.

[@limlianhui9462]

@@FacesoftheForgotten Thanks, Ron.

[@14tfisher]

Hi Ron, just got done watching your video here on Captain Hook. My heritage is Scottish/Irish/Czech. My father came from Ratiskovice, Czechia with his family as a small child. In the Slavic folklore there is a story about an old woman who was called "Baba Yaga" She was an evil witch whole stole children, if you were bad she would take you away and eat you for her supper..So as small children, my brothers and I use to stay overnights at my grandparents house if we were bad my grandmother would always say.."Bud hodny, nebo si pro tebe v noci prijede Baba Yaga odveze te pryc.". Which means: Be good or Baba Yaga will come for you at night and take you away! So being small children we were on our best behavior at my grandparents house 😁 There is also a book out with illustrations about Baba Yaga as well and some of those illustrations are creepy..Great video..As always safe travels wherever your travels may lead you 💛😊- Trish

Great story Ron🤗🤗

[@limlianhui9462]

I heard about the book when I learnt German as a young engineer at a German company, Festo GMBH. Those characters do look like those older European storybook illustrations. It could very well be from one of them, I think the hat looks like an early beanie, there was a little Pom-Pom (bobbin) at the top so the wearer didn’t hit their head on the low doorways in the ships-they automatically ducked lower because they remembered the bobbin - those would be 16-18th centuries so could very well be.

[@monikameza4107]
