Egentliga Finland · Finland · Site of legend

Unseen voices refused to leave a woman's house until the priest set his own dress right and asked forgiveness.

In Pargas an old woman had no peace at night, and only Pastor Hjerpe could approach the spectres. They hid in wall-cracks and mocked the priest's youthful sins, refusing to go until he changed after dressing the wrong foot first. When Hjerpe set himself right and bored a hole in the window lead with a small awl, the spectres flew out, and ever after the house was at peace.
