Hans's Grave in the river at Harmi
Hansu haud Harmi jões
Behind the Vanakubja farm in Harmi, in old Kose parish, the river has a deep pool that people called Hansu haud, Hans's Grave, where children often drowned. According to a tale recorded in 1930, a young man passing the spot once saw a beautiful woman washing herself in the pool. He whistled at her, and she answered with a shriek so loud that he fell to the ground and was ill for a long time from the fright. Such water women were believed to be the spirits that drew swimmers down.

Vana Kose kihelkonna Harmi kandis Vanakubja talu taga on jões sügav koht, mida rahvas hüüdis Hansu hauaks ja kuhu uppus sageli lapsi. 1930. aastal kirja pandud loo järgi läks üks noormees sealt kord mööda ja nägi, kuidas ilus naisterahvas end lõukas pesi. Noormees vilistas ja naine kriiskas vastu nii valju häälega, et noormees kukkus maha ning jäi ehmatusest kauaks haigeks. Selliseid veenaisi peeti vaimudeks, kes ujujaid põhja tõmbavad.
