   • Friedrich Bernhard Störzner, Das Torfgespenst (Reinhardtswalder Sagenbüchlein), p. 17 , 1924:

     An den Torfstichen ist es zu manchen Zeiten gar nicht ganz geheuer. In dunklen Nächten huschen hier gespenstische bläuliche Lichter hin und her, die schon manchen Wanderer erschreckt und irregeführt haben.

     At the peat banks it is uncanny at some times. Here, in dark nights, ghostly bluish lights scurry to and fro, who already scared and misguided many a walker.
