The Devil's Child
When a widow named Karafiatova gave birth to a child two years after her husband's death, gossip grew along Nerudova street. Karafiatova had rejected all suitors, so who was the child's father?
As he grew older, the boy took on a strange appearence. He had dark shiny eyes, a long tongue and bristly hair. He would look up nun's habits, shoot stones through windows, shot a neighbour's canary with his catapult and tossed soap into food. He was such a brat that neighbours thought he was the devil's son.
He was killed when a roof tile fell on his head.
His ghost is said to haunt the area even today. It throws itself in front of cars, only to vanish when the motorist stops to investigate.
