The Hair Comb and the Dance with the Evil One at Visby

Gotland · Sverige · Site of legend

A dance-loving girl with a fine comb in her hair was led out by the Evil One – and the comb gave him power to force her into an endless dance.

At a country gathering outside Visby the young people danced wildly, and one girl showed off a fine comb in her hair. The Evil One stepped in and chose her, and because she wore the comb he had power over her, so the dance whirled on without end until she fainted. The priest was summoned and forced the Evil One to depart, warning the girls never to dance with a comb in their hair.
