The Ghost of the “Magistrate with the Cords”

After his death, the ghost of the dishonest magistrate Záveský appeared here. People feared him and called him the “magistrate with the cords,” because in life he had worn elaborate decorations made of cords. Eventually a priest banished him into Kravaře Hill near Kdyně, and he is said never to have appeared here again.
