Ghost story

The two proud ladies of the Vergi stream

Kaks uhket daami Vergi oja ääres

On the road along Altja beach, then called Haldja beach, by Sagadi, two richly dressed women were once seen sitting on a roadside stone at a spot called Letepära, Danel Pruhl recorded. After a while they rose and walked along the road towards Vergi village, where a stream runs into the sea. Reaching the stream they vanished into it in an instant. Then everyone knew they had been water spirits, for where else could two such ladies have disappeared to? Altja's fishing village and the Vergi shore are now part of Lahemaa National Park.

Danel Pruhli kirjapaneku järgi istusid kord Sagadi lähedal Altja ranna, tollase Haldja ranna, teel Letepära nimelises kohas kivi otsas kaks uhkes riides naisterahvast. Mõne aja pärast tõusid nad üles ja läksid teed mööda Võrgi (Vergi) küla poole, kust oja merre voolab. Oja juurde jõudes kadusid nad sinna nagu tina tuhka. Siis oli kõigile selge, et need olid vesihaldjad, sest kuhu muidu oleksid sellised daamid kaduda saanud. Altja kaluriküla ja Vergi rand kuuluvad nüüd Lahemaa rahvusparki.
