![The Devil in the Church at Unna:
In Unna in the year 1596, it occurred on a Sunday during the hour of the sermon, when both Catholics and Calvinists were present in the church, that a dreadful rumbling could be heard high up near the organ. Then the Devil came out of the organ in the form of a Calvinist lay preacher and flew to the pulpit with great howling and screaming. He then stood on it, and was seen by both Catholics and Calvinists. He had two large horns on his head, and a muttering could be heard emerging from between his teeth. But after he had stood there for a while and muttered, he vanished.
(See von Steinen, Chapter XIII, p. 1176)[2]

Subcontracting your work to the Devil might condemn your employees to Hell, but it _does_ get the job done!

An undertaker in Magdeburg once made a deal with the Devil in order to protect himself in battle.
But this did not save him, in the end.
