: : I am trying to find a story I had once heard as a child and trying to find the origins of the story.
: : I believe it went like something this:
: : 7 demons who'd come dressed as 'gentlemen' in silence and steal one's voice in order to take an organ and to defeat them one has to scream.(?)
: : I have been told it may have been called, "The Gentlemen" although I have found no reference to the title.
: : I believe this story was remade in an episode of a television show, although I'm not sure which one.
: : Can anybody help?
: : Is the poem or tale written by the Grimm Brothers?
i have also heard that same story when i was a child, though i have also tried to find the tale, but have no luck. i would like to find out what its called . when i was three we lived in italy with my family and i can remember my grandmother telling me that story. when i was only four we moved to russia to be with my other
grandmother(now a current resident in the U.S.)
she also told me of a story where these seven men -like monsters came to a town, stole everyones voices and took seven hearts from the people.i was so intriged by this tale it instantly
became my favorite bedtime tale. then when i was about to turn five we moved back to the U.S. so
that my grandmother could be with us. we are currently living in Mesquite, Texas and i now go to Poteet High School( which, by the way, might as well be named the HELLMOUTH)since we are so full of preps( no offence meant to anyone out there!)if anybody finds any information, i would really appreciate it if they emailed me the info. my email is: pixieluvin69@mail2capricorn.com.
thanks,
