The Card Game in the Övermark Sauna

Österbotten · Finland · Site of legend

Amid the card-playing youths in the sauna a stranger suddenly stood, with one horse's foot.

In Övermark some young men had gathered in a sauna to play cards. Suddenly a stranger stood in their midst and asked to join, which he was allowed. When one of the boys dropped a card and bent down, he saw the stranger had a foot shaped like a horse's foot. Then he grew afraid and ran out, and the others followed.
