At night a black knight haunts Kokořínský důl on horseback, crossbow in hand. A pack of wild dogs with fiery tongues runs behind him. After circling all the rocks they vanish into the castle. A great treasure supposedly lies there, discoverable only in the morning on the day the Passion is read in church. The ghost of Kokořín's black huntsman guards it.
