Ghost story
The woman in pink by the Maidla barn
One moonlit winter evening a man was driving home over the Maidla bridge towards Hirmuse. An old barn stood by the road. Just past it he heard a cry behind him: "Wait, wait!" Looking back, he saw a woman with long white hair and a pink dress running barefoot after his sleigh, arms outstretched. He whipped the horse on, but she only ran faster and tried to grab the sleigh. At the crossroads she stopped, raised her arms and laughed out loud. Many people saw her by that barn. When it was pulled down, human bones were found and buried in the churchyard, and the woman was never seen again.

Üks mees sõitis kuuvalgel talveõhtul hobusega koju üle Maidla silla Hirmuse poole. Tee ääres seisis vana ladu. Kui ta sellest möödus, kuulis ta selja taga hüüdu: "Oota, oota!" Tagasi vaadates nägi ta pikkade valgete juuste ja roosa kleidiga naist, kes jooksis paljajalu, käed laiali, saani järele. Mees andis hobusele piitsa, kuid naine kiirendas sammu ja püüdis saanist kinni haarata. Ristteel jäi ta seisma, tõstis käed üles ja naeris kõvasti. Selle lao juures nägid naist paljud. Kui ladu lammutati, leiti sealt surnute luid, mis maeti surnuaiale, ja naist pole enam keegi näinud.
