Plzeň · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

A Procession of Apparitions

Many different apparitions are reported in Koterov, now part of Plzeň. A White Lady appeared near the railway keeper’s cottage at Božkov. Near Hradiště, a black dog ran about with a fiery muzzle and a glowing chain on its collar. If anyone passed that way, it would follow them beyond the little chapel below Homolka, but there it always suddenly vanished.
