Kitta-Grå, the Devil's Sister in the Varberg District

Halland · Sweden · Site of legend

She was the wickedest woman in the district — the very devil's own sister — and he so feared her he handed her shoes on a hop-pole.

At Fagered it is told of an old woman in the Varberg district called Kitta-Grå in the early 1800s. She was said to be the meanest and most wicked woman around, and no wonder, for they said she was the devil's own sister. Yet even he feared her a little: once, when he was to give her a pair of shoes, he held the gift out on a hop-pole, at a safe distance.
