The Passenger Who Vanished at Jesus' Name, Västra Fågelvik

Värmland · Sweden · Site of legend

A black-clad gentleman took a ride, but the horse strained as under a timber load — until the farmer spoke Jesus' name and the passenger was gone.

In Västra Fågelvik a tale was told of a farmer who picked up a black-clad gentleman in a tall hat as a passenger. Strangely, the horse grew drenched in sweat and at last strained as if hauling the heaviest load of timber behind it. When the farmer in his distress cried out in Jesus' name, he suddenly sat alone in the cart. The Evil One had not the courage to hear the name spoken.
