The headless ghost of a perjuring official appears here after his death. He once denied that the forests called Hory belonged to Martínkov. He died immediately afterwards, and every night around midnight his headless spirit races on a black horse from Lesonice towards Martínkov. He is said to ride around Hory. The ghost of the Wild Huntsman also appears in the area on Christmas Eve.
