Spøgelseshunden Pejter - Hirsholmen, Denmark - Ghosts and Hauntings on Waymarking.com

Der er meget spøgeri på de små øer Hirsholmene i Kattegat ud for søfartsbyen Frederikshavn. Flere steder ved strandene skal der om natten, når det er stille, brænde små blåhvide flammer. Liglys over strandvaskere. Og i landsbyen ses en spøgelseshund og et sort hovedløst føl.

Om de steder, hvor strandvaskernes liglys brænder siges det, at de blev sat ned under strandstenene og ikke nåede at komme i indviet jord. Til visse tider kan man også høre deres klagen, hvilket minder meget om de store havmågers skrig.

På Hirsholm ø er det en stor, sort lådden hund med gloende øjne, der skaber forstyrrelse, og dens foretrukne tilholdssted er kirken og klokkestabelen. For hundrede år siden boede der omkring 200 mennesker på øen og der gik næppe en aften før man stødte på Pejter, som hunden kaldes. Og uhyggen blev ikke mindre af, at Pejter ofte slog følge med et hovedløst sort føl.

I levende live var Pejter ikke en hund, men et menneske, nøjere betegnet degn på øen. Han havde begået en eller anden ugerning og måtte nu gå igen som dette uvæsen. Om føllets herkomst ved man intet, men det er sikkert en varsler, i familie med helhesten. et spøgelsesdyr der viser sig, når nogen skal dø.

I de seneste år er Pejter faldet noget til ro, og føllet ser man heller ikke længere. Dog hænder det endnu, at den gamle degn finder opholdet under mulde for trivielt og tager sig en lille rundtur. Men da der ikke længere bor ret mange mennsker på øen, er der heller ikke mange til at opleve spøgeriet.

English: There is a lot of ghosting on the small islands Hirsholmene in the sea of Kattegat off the maritime town of Frederikshavn. In several places by the beaches, small blue-white flames must burn at night when it is quiet. Headlights over corpses drifted ashore. And in the village a ghost dog and a black headless foal are seen.

About the places where light over the corpses burn, it is said that they were put down under the beach stones and did not manage to get into consecrated ground. At certain times one can also hear their lament, which is very reminiscent of the cries of the great seagulls.

On Hirsholm island, it is a large, black furry dog ??with glowing eyes that creates disturbance, and its favorite haunt is the church and the black belfry. One hundred years ago, about 200 people lived on the island and hardly a night went by before encountering Pejter, as the dog is called. And the horror was not lessened by the fact that Pejter often accompanied a headless black foal.

Alive, Pejter was not a dog, but a human, more precisely a dean on the island. He had committed some mischief and now had to haunt the island as this creature. Nothing is known about the foal's origin, but it is probably a harbinger, in the family with the hellhorse. a ghost animal that shows up when someone is about to die.

In recent years, Pejter has calmed down somewhat, and the foal is no longer seen either. However, it still happens that the old dean finds the stay under the mulch too trivial and takes a little tour. But since there are no longer many people living on the island, there are not many to experience the ghost either.
