Luxembourg folk story:
The 'Zidewitzen' at BourglinsterThe lady of the Linster castle, called 'Zidewitzen' was known for her merciless handling of
the castle's affairs.
A miserable farmer, had been held in a dark cell of the castle's tower, simply for not having
been able to deliver his due amount of weed. Finally freed, he angrily made a fist in the direction of the castle. Zidewitzen
who saw the gesture ordered the farmer to be removed from her county. His reply to the order was : "I'll still be around in
your county when you'll be burning in hell".
The merciless woman died shortly afterwards, but the Dark Lord did not
want her to be burried in the parish church in Junglinster. The closer the death convoy came to the church, the heavier the
weight got for the horses to draw. At the bridge over the 'Ernz', a small stream, the convoy stopped. The driver furiously
whipped his horses, which eventually ran off past the church, into the 'Lėtschen-' hole, where the charriot disappeared with
it's load in a deep moor.
