Ghost story
The silent man in black of Uus Street
In an apartment at Uus 23, close to where Uus Street meets Olevimägi, residents have learned to live with a quiet visitor. From time to time a man dressed entirely in black appears in the rooms. He does not speak, does not move objects and never threatens anyone; he simply stands and watches, as if keeping an eye on the household, and then he is no longer there. Nobody knows who he was in life or why he keeps returning to this corner of the Old Town. Those who have seen him describe the encounter as strange rather than frightening. The house is an ordinary residential building near the old town wall.

Uus 23 korteris, Uue tänava ja Olevimäe ristumise lähedal, on elanikud õppinud elama koos vaikse külalisega. Aeg-ajalt ilmub tubadesse üleni musta riietatud mees. Ta ei räägi, ei liiguta esemeid ega ähvarda kedagi – ta lihtsalt seisab ja vaatab, justkui hoiaks majapidamisel silma peal, ning siis teda enam pole. Keegi ei tea, kes ta elus oli või miks ta sellesse vanalinna nurka ikka tagasi tuleb. Need, kes on teda näinud, kirjeldavad kohtumist pigem veidra kui hirmutavana. Maja on tavaline elamu vana linnamüüri lähedal.
