This fellow, forsooth, offered the townsmen, for a certain sum of money, to rid the town of all the rats that were in it (for at that time the burghers were with that vermin greatly annoyed).
The accord, in fine, being made, the Pied Piper, with a shrill pipe, went thorow all the streets, and forthwith the rats came all running out of the houses in great numbers after him; all which he led into the river of Weaser, and therein drowned them.

While on a trip to Cleveland a few years ago in search of old home movies made of Elvis, he met a man who claimed to have 16mm movies of an autopsy on an alien.
The Cleveland visit in the summer of 1992 is factual and it seems Ray Santilli did acquire a significant collection of Elvis Presley film clips and memorabilia.
- The Cleveland visit is now acknowledged as being 1992, not 1993 as claimed and that leaves a year during which there was no apparent interest in finding out what the footage related to, despite having allegedly paid a deposit on it and attempting to raise the "significant amount" required to purchase it.

From then until his death in 1971, Schiwetz divided his time between a studio in Florence and studios in Bloomfield Hills and Dexter, Michigan, producing bronze sculptures of creatures and people, often with his trademark sense of whimsy.
Like his mentor, Carl Milles, he was frequently drawn to mythological subjects (Ulysses, unicorns, fauns, Neptune), but Schiwetz was also captivated by biblical themes (Jonah and the Whale, cupids, putti, St Francis and the Birds), and also literary subjects (Don Quixote, Pied Piper, Ichabod Crane).
