The Sea Captain's Burial in Pernå

Östra Nyland · Finland · Site of legend

The coffin was heavy as stone and the bells refused to ring - until the earth closed over it.

In Pernå they tell of a sea captain and freemason who came home to die, after which dreadful omens filled the district. The woman who shrouded him insisted it was not the captain she laid in the coffin, and at the burial the church bells would not ring. Only once the coffin was lowered and the rites read did the bells sound again.
