Knight Miloš was once lord of Hradištko. He was cursed, and after death his spirit appeared in a fiery horseless carriage. At night he drove down through Zlín, across Prštné to Louky. On his lap he held the severed head of a maiden he had once killed. He supposedly seeks a place to lay both her and himself to rest forever, but the earth refuses him, so he must wander eternally. In another version he appears only once every fifty years. He could also be encountered in the local château. Many stories concern particular aspects of his terrifying appearance. His carriage could supposedly travel on water or fly, and local people even rode in it several times.
