Suddenly they heard midnight ringing from a nearby church. There was a full moon, and one could see as during the daylight. They quickly said goodbye, and the one leaving rushed to the old cemetery, where he had planted several seedlings in the ground which he planned to use for his garden later.
As soon as he began digging the seedlings out, he heard the thud of horses' hooves behind him. He turned quickly and was scared stiff. There was a rider galloping across the cemetery. He was holding his head under his left arm and the bridle under his right. He was heading towards the Lower Old Town, where there weren't as many houses then as there are today, then he followed to Kryblice and behind Kacíř, where his shadow melted into a cloud. He raced madly all the way, shrouded in a bright light.
It took a while for our hero to go home. He hadn't slept all night, and the horrible vision kept appearing before his eyes.
