The Heavy Load to Brålanda Bridge

Dalsland · Sweden · Site of legend

Something unseen clung to the cart and let go only at running water.

In Brålanda, Brunsson of Lossbyn is said to have driven home drunk from Vänersborg, offering anyone a ride. In the forest he felt something cling to his load, growing ever heavier, so his strong black mare strained with a bent back. Only at Brålanda bridge was he rid of it, for spirits cannot cross running water.
