Ghost story · 1935
The dead lord who wanted porridge, Tooste
Surnud härra, kes putru tahtis, Tooste
A young woman of Tooste near Räpina told this in 1935. A lord was buried in the cellar of his 'castle', and anyone who went down never came back. One bold young man took milk and flour and cooked porridge down there, opened the coffin and spooned some into the rotten lord's mouth. The remains leapt up, handed him a sack of money and ordered him to split it evenly between two bags or be strangled. One five-kopeck coin was left over, so he chopped it in half with a chisel. At dawn the lord checked, found it fair, and vanished in smoke, leaving the money.

Räpina lähedal Tooste külas rääkis üks noor naine selle loo 1935. aastal. Üks härra maeti oma lossi keldrisse ja kes iganes sinna läks, tagasi ei tulnud. Üks julge noormees võttis piima ja jahu kaasa, keetis keldris putru, tõstis kirstult kaane ja pani kõdunenud härrale lusikaga putru suhu. Põrm karkas üles, andis talle koti raha ja käskis selle kahte kotti täpselt pooleks lugeda, muidu ta kägistatakse. Üle jäi üks viiekopikaline, ja mees raius selle peitliga pooleks. Koidikul vaatas härra järele, leidis jaotuse õiglase ja kadus suitsuna, jättes raha mehele.
