The Priest Who Showed the Maids the Truth, Husbacka

Värmland · Sweden · Site of legend

The maids wished to go dancing against the priest's will — so he bent his arm into a loop, let them look, and they paled at what they saw.

At the parsonage of Husbacka in Visnum once lived a priest named Fagergren. When his maids wished to go to a dance one Midsummer evening, he advised against it, but finally went along. At the dance he stood by the window and bent his arm into a loop for them to look through. What they saw made them pale, for through the loop appeared Satan himself and his company in the midst of the dancers.
