Southeast of Pavlovice are fields called Lhota after a former settlement. Its inhabitants became robbers, attacking salt wagoners, until troops sent from Olomouc captured them. Their leader Kapca hanged himself nearby. Since then a fiery barrel, a black dog with fiery eyes and a black man, supposedly Kapca’s ghost, have haunted the place at night. Lhota village sank into the ground.
