Geocache Description:


Hunting Darkman

Hello, my name is Agent White, from the SCA (Special Crimes Agency). I was sent to the little village of Grevenmacher, because a series of crucial murders which happend during the last few weeks.

Allready 9 bodies have been found, bloody and slaughtered...
and on each body one finger was missing!!!

The police was groping in the dark. After a few researches, I saw the coherence between the victimes.

They were all cachers.

I contacted a friend of mine, a local cacher, called Butzi92, who told me, that the cacher community was anxious about the recent events. Together we were looking for the mysterious killer. Who was he? Why did he do this?

Butzi92 and me, set the list of the dead cachers together:
- Jaylizzard and Pennbenleyer - both found close to "Machera", in a very terrible condition
- Ikinaa, KLANIClux and orr-grofffamily - found near "Bergbau Wellen", their opened eyes showed the fear they suffered from, before their death
- Fabbes and Loco1407 - on the stairs in front of the "Chapelle St Croix", blood was running down the stairs
- Beeflower and Geowillow - found in the surroundings of "Caves Coopératives des Vignerons de Grevenmacher", it was a bloody mess

Some cachers reported, that they saw "something". A dark "Thing", black coat, black hut, bandaged hands and a bandaged face, but who or what was it?

A photofit was drawn by a profiler of the SCA. It looked like this:




One evening, I met Butzi92 in Grevenmacher under the border bridge, to look for the "Thing", when suddenly we got attacked.

I saw a dark tall "man", like in the description of the cachers. Then I was punched down very hard and lost concience for some seconds. When I came around, I saw lots of blood around and Butzi92 was gone. I heard her screams coming from direction North-East and started running close along the Mosel, when I found her dead body close to a dark entrance. A blood trail went in direction of this entrance...

She was victime number 10... and again one finger was missing...

From that moment on, I knew my opponent... I called him "The Darkman"

Then I entered the darkness to hunt him down and what I found was the Darkman's horrible Collection !!!


BUT something was wrong... He was gone, but not his collection...

If you want to see what I saw there, you need to go on the hunt for "The Darkman".



Don't go alone... and if you do, tell somebody where you are...
All you do is on your own risk !!!
