“Bergmonck”

The “bergmonck” in German is the phantom of a giant monk that guards treasures in caves and abandoned mines.
Bergmonks are rather like South European Monticello's , these large, pale monks of Germany ward off travelers venturing too close to mines rich with lodes of gold. They are thought to be the ghosts of good friars who hid golden candlesticks and chalices from marauders during the religious wars.
