= Curious broadside about an unexplained phenomenon which occurred in the area of Erbach in the Odenwald. According to the broadside a loud noise and bright light was seen in a large area in the Odenwaldkreis. The author links it to divine intervention. Another source mentions the date August 1821 and with a link to the ghost of Schnellert and Rodenstein, who warns for upcoming war. (Wunderliche geschichte zu Erbach, im Odenwalde, Aacher Zeitung 21 August 1821). No other references could be found on this phenomenon. Perhaps a reference to a very local supercel storm.
