Ghost story
The blue nun of Rogosi manor
Rogosi manor near Ruusmäe in the hills of Võrumaa takes its name from Stanisław Rogosiński, a Pole who founded it, and later belonged to the von Glasenapp family. Its ghost is one of the gentlest in Estonia: a nun in a blue habit who moves quietly through the house. She frightens no one and harms no one, and those who meet her describe a calm rather than a chill, as though she were simply continuing a long devotion begun somewhere far away. How a nun came to haunt a Livonian manor house is a mystery nobody has solved. A school worked in the manor for decades; today it is a guesthouse and restaurant.

Eesti keeles
Rogosi mõis Ruusmäe lähedal Võrumaa küngastel on saanud nime poolaka Stanisław Rogosiński järgi, kes selle rajas, ja kuulus hiljem von Glasenappidele. Selle kummitus on üks Eesti leebemaid: sinises rüüs nunn, kes liigub vaikselt läbi maja. Ta ei hirmuta kedagi ega tee kellelegi halba ning need, kes teda kohtavad, kirjeldavad pigem rahu kui külmavärinaid, justkui jätkaks ta kusagil kaugel alanud pikka palvust. Kuidas nunn sattus kummitama Liivimaa mõisahoonesse, on mõistatus, mida keegi pole lahendanud. Mõisas tegutses aastakümneid kool, täna on seal külalistemaja ja restoran.
