Every night the ghost of the notorious ‘Lomikar’, buried in the crypt of St Martin's church in Klenčí, rushes out as a dog with a fiery tongue, running to Trhanov château and back. He also appears in the meadows by Mejkosovec pond between Klenčí and Trhanov, riding a headless horse.

People feared the spot, hearing dogs howl, horses scream, chains rattle, curses and lamentations. (See Trhanov.)
