The Farmhand Manker in Björnkärr

Nyland · Finland · Site of legend

The Devil wanted to give Manker wings and ride out with him - but a fence stake saved the farmhand every time.

At Svarvarböle in Karis served the farmhand Manker, a well-read but often tempted man. While making charcoal alone in Björnkärr, the Devil offered him wings to fly to heaven; Manker refused and pushed at the door until the Devil had to flee. Another time the Devil lured him out to ride, but Manker grabbed a fence stake and leapt off without the Devil noticing.
