The Death-Red at the Altar in Vörå

Österbotten · Finland · Church

The farmhand meant to scare the maid in the church - but something at the altar scared him to death.

In Vörå a maid was sent late one evening to the church cellar for wine, while a farmhand hid to frighten her. At the altar a figure rose and called out to her, but the maid answered sharply and slipped out. The farmhand was left inside the door, and by morning only a few scraps of his fur coat remained.
