The Fiddler Varnberg at Lennartsfors

Värmland · Sverige · Site of legend

In the middle of the dance the light went out — and the fiddler saw the devil dancing among the others, fire and sparks flying about him. He never touched his fiddle again.

At Trankil it is told of a skilled fiddler named Varnberg, who often played at dances. Once, in the early 1860s, he played in the back-cottage of the old smithy building at Lennartsfors. In the middle of the dance the light went out, and then he saw the devil dancing among the others with fire and sparks flying about him. After that day he laid the fiddle aside and never played again.
