A Spook Man

My father was from Starred in Stigsjö. He married a woman from Böle. When he was courting, he had to cross Böleslia, which had always been known and considered a true haunt. One morning he was walking home from his fiancée while it was still dark. When he came to Böleslia, it suddenly lit up right beside him, and when he looked there, a man dressed in black was walking alongside him, carrying a light in his hand. That man was so unnaturally tall that no human could ever be that tall. The man accompanied him for a long stretch, but then the light suddenly went out and the man disappeared. But after my father came home, he had to go to bed and felt truly sick.
