Another (halloween) … tale … is that of Andreas Kremser, aka the Little Red Man. Kremser was a man of slight stature who hadn’t been suited to a number of occupations assigned him, but, in 1786, he seemed to have found his niche as the community’s shoemaker.
In March of that year, excavating work began inside the Single Brothers House, where Kremser lived and worked. Tragically, a cave in buried Kremser, and, though the brethren dug him out, he died of his injuries a few hours later. Since then there have been stories of the distinctive tapping of a shoemaker’s hammer on leather or of sightings of a small man wearing red. Over the years, the brothers began attributing anything odd that happened to Kremser.
Kremser has been seen by many folks since at least 1899 when such lore is first recorded. — journalnow.com
