The Dancer Who Was the Evil One at Tossene

Bohuslän · Sweden · Site of legend

The priest set the farmhand on his black cloak to peer into the dance hall – where a great black hound danced among the rest.

A farmhand serving a priest in Tossene always went to the dance on Saturday evenings. Once the priest came along, had the farmhand stand on his black cloak and look in through the window, and there a great black hound was seen dancing among the others. When they went inside the priest commanded the Evil One to leave his place under the table, and all saw him flee out the door. The farmhand never went dancing again.
