Legend
The steward's gold buried under Paide
The castle steward of Paide was so rich that his gold chain weighed forty pounds and servants carried it like a train. A Russian grand prince besieged the town for a year, but food came in through a secret tunnel from Mündi manor. When an old woman was frightened into betraying the tunnel, the town fell. The steward buried his treasure first and kept silent even in a cauldron of boiling oil. Every New Year's night a white figure still calls passers-by to dig it up.

Eesti keeles
Paide lossi valitseja oli nii rikas, et tema kuldkett kaalus nelikümmend naela ja teenrid kandsid seda nagu kleidisaba. Vene suurvürst piiras linna terve aasta, kuid moona toodi maa-alust teed mööda Mündi mõisast. Kui hirmutatud vana naine tee reetis, langes linn. Valitseja mattis varanduse enne maha ega reetnud seda ka tulises õlikatlas. Iga uue aasta ööl kutsub valge kogu mööduvaid inimesi varandust välja tooma.
