Heinzelmann's myth says that he started haunting the castle Hudemühlen in 1584 after being cast from the forest of Bohemia.[1] At first he was shy, later he was conversing and jesting openly with all inhabitants of the house, including the master.[1] He sang verses, the most repeated one said that evil luck would take his place if he was ever chased out.[1]
«Гэты Кароль Шэкспір», — пісаў эсэіст Томас Карлейль у 1840 годзе — «вышэй нас усіх, самы шляхетны, найдалікатнейшы, але моцны; непарушны[163]»[164].
