The Flaming Turkey
There was once a mill owner on Kampa Island who loved to eat. His favourate food was turkey. He had fattened up three of these birds for Easter. Whilst he was fasting on Good Friday he was overcome with hunger and his will broke. He ate a whole turkey to himself. Soon after, he died of a gall-bladder infection.
From the day of his death his spirit returned to the mill in the form of a huge turkey wreathed in flames. The bullets of hunters could not stop it and it chased off the guard dogs. A priest tried to exorsise the bird but was chased off with his cassock in flames. It is still supposed to appear on the island on Good Friday.
