English translation
Pastor Runsten in Sollefteå was driving along the country road between Graninge and Forse. When he reached Långmon, his horse stopped, and it was utterly impossible to get it moving again. So R. got out, went in front of the horse, where he seemed to grasp something and move it aside, as one might lead a horse away. The pastor had said that it was an invisible horse that had stood in the way.
Original transcription (Swedish)
Prosten Runsten i Sollefteå åkte landsvägen mellan Graninge och Forse. Då han kom på Långmon, stannade hästen, och det var alldeles omöjligt få den iväg. Då steg R. av, gick framför hästen, där syntes han fatta tag i något och föra det på sidan, som då man leder undan en häst. Prosten hade sagt, att det var en osynlig häst, som stått i vägen.
