Venezuela concurso/semana 11/ 🤓El Vampiro de Galipan🤓
Good morning, dear friends of this community, which allows us to share legends, myths or stories from a specific region. I will tell my story since one Saturday at home due to a pandemic we cannot go out because I set out with my granddaughters to look for a movie and we found one on a channel that attracted a lot of attention, which I will relate for all of you. Thanks to @marcybetancourt and @solperez for the initiative of this inspiring contest.
The macabre story of a German doctor named Knoche the Galipan vampire. In Venezuela there is a diversity of stories, myths, legends, tales of the road and communities.
A un lugar de galipan llega procedente de Alemania un doctor alemán Gottfriet August Knoche mejor conocido como el el doctor knoche. Vino al país a colaborar con la medicina y a recibir a los migrantes alemanes que llegaron a venezuela en el año 1843 que huyeron de su país por las guerra, enfermedades y buscando un mejor país para vivir y no se equivocaron.
A German doctor Gottfriet August Knoche, better known as Dr. Knoche, arrives at a place in Galipan from Germany. He came to the country to collaborate with medicine and to receive the German migrants who arrived in Venezuela in 1843 who fled their country due to war, disease and looking for a better country to live in and they were not wrong
The doctor showed great love for the natural environment. He moved to the Galipan sector to a farm called Buena Vista, which he set up for his wife, the residents say that his wife abandoned him since she could not live in that place surrounded by mummified bodies, taking her son with her, she returned To his birthplace, as time passed, no more was heard of her, the son returned years later, arriving in Puerto Cabello where he settled and his father, the doctor, did not know more about him.
The doctor Knoche, as he was called in the area, searched the morgues for the dead that were not claimed by their relatives, mounted them on his mule that was trained to reach his home in the mountains. Where he placed a substance injected into their necks and managed to mummify them. Then he placed them around their homes as guardians of their property.
He had two assistants Josepha and Amalie Geismann who gave them to the very little girl to raise because her parents were going to starve, he eventually instructed them to be his nurses and the villagers said that they too they were his lovers. He built a monsoon where he mummified her daughter Ana, her husband Heinrich and Josepha and left the order to Amalie to mummify him as well.
Amalie lived many years and they called her the Galipan witch because she sang and spoke to the birds, the plants, the flowers. It is presumed that her sadness was because every day she saw in her monsoon her grave where she had to fulfill Knoche's will by mummifying and her desire was to be cremated and spread in the beautiful waters of the Guaira.
A colleague of his went up to Galipan and mummified Amalie completing the monsoleo. The inhabitants tell the inhabitants that at night the mules pass to Knoche's house and by day the song of Amalie, which she transmits chills when hearing her singing
