A plaque in Hamelin records the disappearance of 130 children.
Why it is true
On the facade of the Pied Piper's house in Hamelin, Germany, an inscription states that on June 26, 1284, 130 children born in the town were led away by a piper dressed in multicolored clothes and never seen again. Historians believe the legend may be based on a real event.
