The haunting of Tři Dvory

Around 1900 reports of phenomena at Tři Dvory, three kilometres east of Kolín, excited the public. Unexplained knocking haunted the local forester's lodge. The forester and his daughters became targets for sensation-seeking journalists, occultists and curious visitors. A local version blamed the spirit of a deceased suitor of the forester's daughter. The contemporary press wrote extensively about it; a summary appears on page 90 of Český lid for 1907.
