Legend
The walled-up knight of Kuressaare
In 1785, workers repairing Kuressaare castle broke into a sealed room and found a skeleton dressed in old clothes, sitting at a table. Nobody knew who he was. Soon the story spread that he was a knight who had broken the rules of the order, or had tried to betray the bishop, and had been walled up alive as punishment. Later people said his ghost still walks the castle at night.

Eesti keeles
1785. aastal leidsid Kuressaare lossi remontivad töölised kinnimüüritud ruumi, kus laua taga istus vanades riietes luustik. Keegi ei teadnud, kes ta oli. Peagi hakati rääkima, et see oli rüütel, kes oli ordu reegleid rikkunud või püüdnud piiskoppi reeta, ja ta oli karistuseks elusalt seina müüritud. Hiljem räägiti, et tema vaim kõnnib öösiti lossis ringi.
