Ghost story · 1928
The cemetery in the clearing near Väljasoo, Helme
Surnuaed raiesmikul Väljasoo lähedal Helmes
A tale told in Helme parish in 1928 by a woman of 96 describes a classic misleading spirit. A man was walking through the forest from Liivaku towards Ala. Near Väljasoo, in a clearing, he suddenly found himself in a churchyard among the graves, with white linen drying in a tree. He could not understand how he had reached a cemetery so fast and guessed that an evil spirit was leading him astray. He stepped under his horse's nose, drew a cross on the ground with his left heel, and at once he was standing back in the clearing.

Helme kihelkonnas 1928. aastal 96-aastase naise räägitud lugu kirjeldab tüüpilist eksitajat. Üks mees tahtis minna läbi metsa Liivakult Alale. Väljasoo lähedal raiesmikul leidis ta end äkki kirikaiast haudade vahelt, puu otsas kuivasid valged linad. Ta ei saanud aru, kuidas ta nii ruttu surnuaiale jõudis, ja arvas, et teda eksitab paha vaim. Mees astus hobuse nina alla, tegi vasaku jala kannaga maha risti ja seisis kohe jälle raiesmikul.
