Ghost story · 1939

The miller's wife taken from the Kasaritsa mill

Kasaritsa veskist viidud möldri-Tiio

A mill still works on the old site at Kasaritsa, but the story told there in 1939 belongs to an older mill that later burned down. The miller's wife, Tiio, was said to be hunted by devils. Every night when she went to bed there was banging and rumbling, and the miller had to fight for her until midnight. One night he pushed the bed against the door, but the devils climbed in through a window high in the mill wall and dragged her out to the reeds by the mill dam. In the morning he found her standing among the reeds, eyes open, as if alive, but dead.

Kasaritsas töötab vanal kohal endiselt veski, kuid 1939. aastal räägitud lugu käib vanema veski kohta, mis hiljem maha põles. Möldri naist Tiiot olevat vanadjuudad taga kiusanud. Igal öösel, kui Tiio magama läks, algas kolin ja mürin ning mölder pidi tema eest võitlema kuni kella kaheteistkümneni. Ühel ööl tõmbas mölder voodi ukse ette, kuid kuradid tulid sisse kõrgelt veskiseina aknast ja vedasid naise veskipaisu äärde kõrkjatesse. Hommikul leidis mees ta kõrkjate seest seismas, silmad lahti, nagu elusana, kuid surnuna.
