The Door Opened by the Three-Band Broom, Stora Kil

Värmland · Sweden · Site of legend

The Evil One called from outside: "Three-band broom, let me in!" — and because the broom had three bands, the door swung open.

From Stora Kil a story was told, passed on by a mother from her childhood home: it was not good to keep brooms with three bands. Once the Evil One came to a place where just such a broom stood. He positioned himself outside and called on the three-band broom to open, and the door swung open. For this reason people were careful never to bind brooms with three bands.
