Narrative

A ghost who lived by the stone who usually hassled drunk men, intruding into their wagon or jumping those on foot. The ghost would demand vodka from the men. The ghost was known to haunt the area between Lõhkine Tondikivi and Pärase stone quarry. In the early 20th century, a village child saw the ghost during the day, scarping the ground near the stone between his feet, raising up a far-flung shower of sparks. In Muhu folk belief, a tont (ghost, monster) is the common name for a frightening spirit.
