After his death, the château administrator who had oppressed his subjects in every possible way appeared here as a ghost. He had loved riding horses and was buried in Lovosice cemetery. His harshness, however, gave him no peace in the grave. Every midnight he rode at a gallop, frightening the inhabitants. To stop it, the townspeople moved his remains first to the rise near Lhotka and later to Kybička hill. But he allegedly appeared again at both places, where hoofbeats and dogs howling could be heard.
