Description
The Helhesten.This danish spirit was once an ordinary horse, who was buried alive on the grounds of a church, condemned to guard the graveyard for eternity.
He wins some revenge for himself though; as a three-legged ghost horse he stalks through the towns at night, peering into windows until someone sees him - that person is then doomed to an imminent death.
My little tribute to halloween

how cruel people can be, poor horse,.... I heard that sometimes people buried cats alive so the house would be clean of mice etc... I am so sorry for the animals killed like this... these humans deserve no better!
