On this date (26 June) in 1284, it was said that the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Germany lured 130 children out of town, and they were never seen again. Lovecraft used a version of this story as a minor inspiration of his story, "Rats in the Walls". Specifically, S Baring-Gould’s Curious Myths of the Middle Ages (1869) and the "epic of the rats".
