Ghost story · 1939
The voice on the steps of Kiltsi manor
Hääl Kiltsi mõisa trepil
Kiltsi, the crescent-shaped manor house near Väike-Maarja built into an old fortified tower, has more than one ghost story. One recorded in 1939 tells of a man who made a habit of sleeping on the manor's steps. One night a voice told him: 'Go away from here!' He took no notice. On the third night something attacked him, and his sleeping on the steps ended in a serious illness. Mare Kalda links the tale to a whole group of Virumaa legends in which a voice from the other side warns people off places that belong to the dead.

Väike-Maarja lähedal asuva kaarja Kiltsi mõisa kohta, mille peahoonesse on ehitatud vana kindlustorn, liigub mitu kummituslugu. 1939. aastal kirja pandud lugu räägib mehest, kes harjus mõisa trepil magama. Ühel ööl ütles hääl talle: „Mine ära siit!“ Mees ei teinud sellest välja. Kolmandal ööl tuldi talle kallale ja trepil magamine lõppes raske haigusega. Mare Kalda seob loo terve rühma Virumaa muistenditega, kus teispoolne hääl ajab inimesi minema paikadest, mis kuuluvad surnutele.
