The Devil's sling stone at Sutlepa

Kuradi lingukivi Sutlepas

On the border of Sutlepa and Nõmmküla in Noarootsi lies a large stone named Kuradi lingukivi, the Devil's sling stone, because he was said to have slung it there. Strange sights around it alarmed the whole village: a fire burning beneath it with naked people leaping round; figures black as soot with the Devil's shape; and once, in broad daylight, village women coming home from prayers saw a horse carrying a man and a woman stop at the stone, and the riders vanished under its edge. When the women went to look, there was nothing there.

Eesti keeles

Noarootsis Sutlepa ja Nõmmküla piiril lebab suur kivi nimega Kuradi lingukivi, sest Vanakurat olevat selle sinna linguga visanud. Kivi juures nähtud imelikud asjad ajasid kogu küla ärevusse: selle all põlenud tuli, mille ümber hüpanud alasti inimesed; nähtud ka nõmustaid Kuradi kujuga olendeid; ja kord päise päeva ajal nägid palvetunnist tulevad külanaised, kuidas hobune, seljas mees ja naine, kivi juures peatus ja ratsanikud kadusid kivi ääre alla. Kui naised vaatama läksid, polnud seal midagi.
