Legend
The devil's bridge-stone at Ridase
The wife of the evil spirit wanted to help build a bridge across the sea strait at Uisu, towards Muhu island. She gathered huge rocks into her apron and set off for the shore, but her apron string snapped and the biggest boulder dropped to the ground at Ridase. In another version it was Vanapagan himself who was carrying the rock: he tripped over the fence between two farms, his apron string broke, and the stone stayed where it fell. Later villagers lit midsummer bonfires on its flat top, and 25 couples could dance on it at once. Today the Jaagu-Mihkli stone, an 11-metre giant, hides in hazel scrub just south of the Virtsu road.

Kurjavaimu naine tahtis aidata ehitada silda üle Uisu väina Muhu poole. Ta korjas suuri kive põlle ja läks ranna poole, kuid põllepael katkes ja suurim rahn kukkus Ridase külas maha. Teise loo järgi tassis kivi Vanapagan ise: ta komistas kahe talu piiriaia otsa, põllepael läks katki ja kivi jäi sinna, kuhu kukkus. Hiljem põletasid külainimesed rahnu lamedal lael jaanituld ja selle peal mahtus korraga tantsima 25 paari. Tänapäeval peitub 11 meetri pikkune Jaagu-Mihkli kivi sarapuuvõsas Virtsu maanteest veidi lõuna pool.
