The History of Frederick Von Neydel This cache is to commemorate local oddity Frederick von Neydel. No one quite knows where von Neydel came from but what everyone can agree upon is that they were equally unsure as to where he would be or end up. For Frederick had a knack of appearing in the most unusual places, and the most surprising places and most strangely in the most impossible of places. But stranger still not only did this odd man himself turn up himself in odd places but often objects around him seemed to achieve the same trick as well. Ladies rings disappearing, then reappearing in a can of unopened pilchards. Children’s toy marbles vanishing only to appear inside pipes when the plumber came to fix a tap that had stopped working. Many suspected black magic and even to this day many locals look down and mutter “von Neydel” whenever lost car keys turn up in unsuspecting places.
