Emmer-Erfscheidenveen is a hamlet in the Netherlands and it is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.

[3] Emmer-Erfscheidenveen has a sizeable population,[1] a church and retail, therefore, it should have been considered a village.

[4] In 1938, the son of Middeljans, an inhabitant of Emmer-Erfscheidenveen, discovered what he believed to be human remains in the moorland.

His father brought in the police who could not make sense of it, and decided not to investigate.

Only the skin of his body had remained, however his clothes were in good condition.
