The Impossible Task of Strömfors

Nyland · Finland · Site of legend

A girl promised the dark one her company by night, but first he had to straighten singed hair.

In Strömfors a girl sat grinding at a hand mill when the dark one offered to grind the grain in exchange for her company. She also set him to straighten a handful of half-burnt hair, but no matter how he pulled and twisted, the strands curled back. When she showed him a whole sack of the same impossible work, the devil gave up and went his way.
