Ghost story · 1947
The red light at old Andrus's house, Neemi
Punane tuluke vana Andruse õues Neemil
In Neemi village on Saaremaa, Ivan Rehi told a collector in 1947, old Andrus walked home every night after his death; Rehi himself had seen a man-sized hole in the grave, its cross fallen in. A woman from Nõmme once set out for Neemi with her aunt in the dark, thinking dawn was near. Behind Andrus's house she heard logs being thrown about the yard and saw a strange long red light darting to and fro. She woke the next household, who told her calmly that this happened every night: no priest could close the grave of Andrus, who had been a bad man in life.

Saaremaal Neemi külas käis vana Andrus surma järel igal ööl kodus, rääkis Ivan Rehi kogujale 1947. aastal; ta oli ise näinud, et haual oli mehesuurune auk ja rist sisse kukkunud. Üks Nõmme naine läks kord tädiga pimedas Neemile, arvates, et hommik on lähedal. Andruse maja taga kuulis ta, kuidas õues palgivirna kallal kolistati ja palke loobiti, ning nägi imelikku pikka punast tulukest edasi-tagasi vilksamas. Ta ajas naaberpere üles, kes ütlesid rahulikult, et nii on iga öö: Andruse hauda ei saa ükski papp kinni, sest ta oli elus paha mees.
