The Dancing Freemason of Sippola

Nyland · Finland · Site of legend

Every time the master came home his shirt was red with sweat - he had been forced to dance.

A servant girl at Sippola manor in Strömfors claimed her master always returned drenched red with sweat from his Masonic gatherings. According to her, a dark figure with a whip drove him to dance until he dropped. She swore on her honour the story was true.
