I was a senior at the Ethnography and Folklore Section of the Smithsonian Institution and was already preparing intensely my thesis. Which was great, but it was completely missing. For a long time, I hadn't even chosen a topic, so when I was asked how it was going, I answered evasively and left the place with a preoccupied face. My thesis supervisor had just fallen in love with one of the students and was over his head trying to hide the affair, so when I told him that the topic of my paper was "Mythological Creatures in Contemporary Folklore", absently approved it and went back to his phone where he talked for hours with my fellow student -- the object of his passion.
My dorm roommate, Liam Miller, was originally from a small town somewhere in Montana and was rather preoccupied with getting as many girls as he could before he finished college. His list was growing longer by the day and although he was very preoccupied with his new conquests, he noticed my worries, especially since he was somehow behind the strange title for my undergraduate thesis. He told me at one point that his grandfather, who among other things was a hunter, had once, on one of his travels, ended up in a remote hamlet called Mistveil where he found a lot of mythological creatures: elves, fairies, minotaurs, centaurs and many others that he could not even remember.
"I think I should make a trip to this hamlet," I said to him after I had chosen the title of my dissertation. "Can you tell me how to get there?"
He looked at me suspiciously, then after a long pause he answered, "I can't tell you how to get there because I don't know either. My grandfather didn't want to tell me because he said about this hamlet that it's always surrounded by fog, and besides, none of the people who went there have ever returned. Except for him, of course."
He replied to a message on his phone and then followed up on his idea.
"But if you want, I can give you my grandfather's address and you can pay him a visit. If you catch him in the evening, after he's had his daily dose of juniper whiskey, he'll show you the way to heaven and not just Mistveil."
I'm a stubborn guy, so when I get something in my head I can hardly get it out. So a few days later, I ended up at Liam's grandfather who, when he heard that I wanted to go to Mistveil, first tried to get the idea out of my head.
He seemed a man full of life and initiative. However, after a few glasses of juniper whisky, his own recipe as he boasted, he wanted to join me in the hamlet hidden in the mist. I had a hard time persuading him not to come with me, especially as he was approaching 80, and I was afraid he would slow me down on the way.
But I took advantage of his whisky-induced state and tried to get as much information as I could from him.
His story in a nutshell was as follows: when he was a young man, about my age, he was chasing a deer and at some point he came to a valley shrouded in fog. Undeterred, he continued on and at some point, the fog lifted and the houses of a small hamlet appeared before him. A sign at the entrance to the village told him that he had arrived in the village of Mistveil, which had only 29 inhabitants. A little later, he met the first inhabitants, who looked at him in astonishment. And they were right to be astonished because they were all mythological beings. He was the only human there. From elves to centaurs and minotaurs it seemed that none of the beings he had heard of in mythology were missing. At one point when he got about halfway through the small hamlet a young elf girl approached him and, after standing on her tiptoes, whispered in his ear:
"Run! Just turn and run!"
"Why?" he asked, puzzled, looking around and seeing just a quiet hamlet haunted by strange beings.
"Lest you die!" said the young elf just as softly. "If you stick around here any longer, your body will soon be floating down the Magic River," she pointed to the river that flowed swirling past them.
She looked around to make sure someone couldn't hear her and continued, "Once it comes out of Mistveil, this water changes its name to the White River, and on it float the dead corpses of all those who have been here too long."
Liam's grandfather remembered that at the entrance to their hamlet, the White River bends, it smooths its swift rushing paths, and from time to time the villagers find there naked and dead young men washed up and abandoned near their little village.
When he was younger, he asked several times what the cemetery by the riverbank was all about, but the only explanation was this: washed up people. Why they were naked and how they died, nobody knew. A grave was dug for them, a few words from the Bible were read and then they were buried after a cross was put on their heads.
Remembering the throng of crosses in the little cemetery by the river, Liam's grandfather didn't ask any more questions and ran back. He made it through the mist and made it safely home and hasn't told many people what he'd been through since. She did, however, tell Liam when she came home one summer and felt like walking in the mountains.
After he finished his story, he had another glass of whisky and then brought an old photo album.
"Don't worry, I won't bore you with the family photos I have. I just wanted to show you this."
