a) In Satteins, the Night Folk drove through the Hollagaß alley next to the ruins of Castle Schwarzenhorn. They were accompanied by fantastic music, by the playing of strings and the sound of whistles, drums and kettledrums, but nothing more was visible than a wind. In the village, the procession passed by Sepple’s house, which is located at a crossing of alleys. There was a huge dung heap next to Sepple’s house, and when the Night Folk came down the alley and wanted to continue in a straight line, they had to cross this dung heap. Then Sepple went there and lifted a piece of the large dung heap away so that the Night Folk would have a better path.
b) In the Zalöchera near Bürs, there are four lonely houses standing in a square. At times, during the night, the Night Folk roar back and forth, across and crosswise between these houses.
c) In Schruns, there is a house where there were four doors installed crosswise in the atrium. This house has frequently been visited by the Night Folk for a long time, as people in the area know well.
d) These night-time people moved their processions through a lonely house standing on the Klöslefeld above Frastanz. They traveled through the main corridor, and for this reason it was important to leave the main entrance and the back door open so that their usual route was not barred. If someone forgot this and barred the doors, then the arriving outsiders made such a ruckus and such a noise that no inhabitant of the house was able to sleep.
e) In Raggal, old Küng often heard the Night Folk “ring” through the mountain gorge next to his house.
