Ghost story
The restless dead under Pikk Street, Rakvere
A couple of years before 1939, the former Grunenberg house on Pikk Street in Rakvere was full of strange noises. Some nights came the sound of wood being chopped, other nights clattering dishes or knocks at the door, yet nobody was ever seen. The plot had once been a graveyard, though a fire had destroyed the church records and nothing more was known. People decided that the night visitors were the spirits of the dead, who found no rest because houses had been built over their graves. They would go on haunting, it was said, until the people were driven out and the house was torn down.

Paar aastat enne 1939. aastat oli Rakveres Pikal tänaval endises Grunenbergi majas igasuguseid kummitusi. Kord kostis puude lõhkumist, kord nõude kolinat või uksele koputamist, kuid kedagi ei olnud näha. Varem oli see paik olnud surnuaed, kuid tulekahjus olid kirikukirjad hävinud ja täpsemaid andmeid polnud. Öised külalised arvati olevat surnute vaimud, kes ei saa rahu, sest nende puhkepaigale on ehitatud majad. Nad pidid kollitama seni, kuni inimesed on minema peletatud ja maja lammutatakse.
