Ghost story
The fire-spitting dog of the Danish King's Garden
The small Danish King's Garden on the slope of Toompea is ringed by three old towers and is said to gather more apparitions than any other corner of the Old Town. Night walkers have reported a lady in an old-fashioned gown who drifts along the wall and vanishes, a sorrowful monk, and most unsettling of all a black dog that spits fireballs as it runs past. Modern sculptures of three faceless, hooded monks now stand on the slope facing St Nicholas' Church, and when they are lit at dusk they make the old stories feel very close. The garden is open to the public day and night.

Eesti keeles
Toompea nõlval asuvat väikest Taani kuninga aeda ümbritseb kolm vana torni ning räägitakse, et siin kohtab ilmutusi rohkem kui üheski teises vanalinna nurgas. Öised jalutajad on näinud vanaaegses kleidis daami, kes müüri ääres hõljub ja kaob, kurba munka ning kõige kõhedamana musta koera, kes mööda joostes tulekerasid sülgab. Nõlval Niguliste kiriku poole seisavad nüüd kolme näota kapuutsiga munga skulptuurid ning kui need hämaras valgustatakse, tunduvad vanad lood väga lähedal. Aed on avatud nii päeval kui öösel.
