Ghost story

The lady from the sea at Mustoja beach

Merelt tulnud daam Mustoja rannas

An old mortuary house was once moved from Pihlaspea village down to the shore at Mustoja on the Lahemaa coast and turned into a net shed. Liisi Gutbach of Pihlaspea, aged 60, told Danel Pruhl what happened next. Early one morning before dawn, as a large party of fishermen set out to sea, they saw a richly dressed woman walk out of the sea, up the beach and into the shed. Some of the men stood guard around it while others searched inside with torches, but no woman was found, and the fishermen decided she had been a water spirit.

Eesti keeles

Pihlaspea külast viidi kord vana surnuhoone Lahemaa rannikule Mustoja randa ja tehti sellest võrgulaut. Pihlaspea 60-aastane Liisi Gutbach rääkis Danel Pruhlile, mis siis juhtus. Ühel varahommikul enne koitu, kui suur seltskond kalamehi merele läks, nägid nad, kuidas merest tuli välja väga uhkes riides naisterahvas, astus randa ja läks lattu. Osa mehi jäi lao ümber valvesse, teised otsisid tulega laudas, kuid naist ei leitud kusagilt ja kalurid otsustasid, et see oli näkk.
