On Hájník hill appeared the ghost of the evil lord of Jílové château. When he was buried at Farské křoví, now Březový lesík, his coffin had to be chained to the carriage. A large stone marked the grave. He found no rest there, appearing at night as a white-clad figure with a white horse. Eventually a young chaplain exorcised him, and Hájník has been quiet since.
