Bokkenrijder:
According to legend, the Bokkenrijders were demons that rode through the sky on winged goats given to them by the devil. They were men who became demons after making a pact with the devil to follow his commands on their winged goats.

Apparently, the Bokkenrijders would fly through the sky, shrieking and chanting: "Over huis, over tuin, over staak, en dat tot Keulen in de wijnkelder!" This translates to "across houses, across gardens, across stakes, even across Cologne into the wine cellar!" every year.
