Mrs. Viberg and the Bathhouse at Ånäs

Nyland · Finland · Site of legend

"The Devil will get there before you," the lady called after the maid - and on her return Mrs. Viberg's skin already hung drying.

From Strömfors comes the tale of Mrs. Viberg, a cruel lady of Ånäs farm, who went to the bathhouse one Saturday evening but had forgotten the soap. She sent the maid for it with the words that the Devil would get there first. When the maid returned, the lady's flayed skin already hung drying on the bench-shelf, so cleanly stripped that even the nails remained attached.
