English translation
It is told about a peddler who was believed to have been murdered. The person who was pointed out as the murderer died a few years later, and one day his widow was to go alone into the large living room, which was uninhabited during the summer. When she arrived, she saw her deceased husband sitting at a table playing cards with the murdered peddler. Neither of the players seemed to take any notice of her but continued their game, but after that day, the widow never dared to stay alone in the large living room.
Original transcription (Swedish)
Om en knalle, som troddes ha blivit mördad, berättas. Den person, som utpekades som mördare, avled några år senare, och en dag skulle hans änka ensam gå in i den under sommaren obebodda storstugan. När hon kom dit, fick hon se sin avlidne man sitta vid ett bord och spela kort med den mördade knallen. Ingen av spelarna syntes taga någon notis om henne utan fortsatte med sitt spel, men efter den dagen vågade änka aldrig vistas ensam i storstugan.
