Gruselsagen über den Höllenfürsten und seine Geisterwesen. Für die Menschen früherer Jahrhunderte ist er das personifizierte Böse: Luzifer, der Teufel. Er verführt zur Sünde und bringt Krankheit und Verderben. Doch eine Hoffnung kennen die Sagen: Man kann manchmal mit dem Teufel handeln, einen Pakt eingehen, ihn im besten Fall sogar überlisten. Ebenfalls nicht von dieser Welt sind Naturgeister, Gottheiten vorchristlichen Glaubens oder Verstorbene, die keine Ruhe finden. Sie begegnen den Menschen mal trügerisch, mal rachesuchend, mal gütig und hilfreich, immer aber geheimnisvoll.

Zumindest in Köln, wo es "vordem / mit Heinzelmännchen so bequem" war! Wie traurig, dass mit dem Glauben an sie auch all die Wunderwesen verschwunden sind.
