Ghost story

The phantom horseman of Suuremõisa cellar

Hiiu-Suuremõisa, built in the 1750s for Countess Ebba Margaretha Stenbock, is Hiiumaa's grandest manor, and its chief ghost lives in the cellar. He is said to be a captain who was killed in the house. Every October and November the sound of hooves grows louder below ground, the back wall turns green, and a horseman rides out of it and vanishes at the opposite wall. A bus driver waiting outside during a night tour heard a horse galloping round his bus, yet found no tracks. Others have seen a woman in a white dress in the blue salon and heard doors open for no one at a New Year's party. The manor houses a school.

Hiiu-Suuremõisa, mis ehitati 1750. aastatel krahvinna Ebba Margaretha Stenbockile, on Hiiumaa uhkeim mõis ja selle peakummitus elab keldris. Väidetavalt on ta kapten, kes majas tapeti. Igal oktoobril ja novembril valjeneb maa all kabjaklobin, tagasein muutub roheliseks ja sellest ratsutab välja ratsanik, kes vastasseina juures kaob. Üks bussijuht, kes öise ekskursiooni ajal väljas ootas, kuulis bussi ümber hobust galopeerimas, kuid jälgi ei leidnud. Teised on näinud sinises salongis valges kleidis naist ja kuulnud uusaastapeol uksi avanemas, kuigi kedagi ei tulnud. Mõisas tegutseb kool.
