The Devil on the Threshing Floor of Busby

Läänemaa · Estonia · Natural site

Amid the dance of fifteen weddings the devil drove the dancers into the lake, only a couple in the loft saw it all.

Fifteen weddings were once celebrated at once in Busby in Ormsö, with dancing and harp music. Then the devil came and drove the dancers out toward the lake, the fiddler first and the rest after. A baron later took the village's land for his own and built his estate there. A couple up in the loft saw it all happen, and some say the wicked one was really what the old folk called the Nix-man.
