Innkeeper Lars Johansson of Tingsås

Småland · Sverige · Site of legend

At Tingsås it is told of the innkeeper Lars Johansson, who lay sick but could not die until the priest arrived. The room was then full of evil spirits, but the priest had the windows opened and gave him the sacrament, whereupon Lars died the moment the priest sat down in his carriage. At the burial his own horses refused to draw the hearse, and a black hound ran beneath the coffin all the way to the church. The priest, who could see in the grave where the dead ended up, lamented that Lars had gone to the abyss.
